SAY IT AIN'T SO! '60s BAT MOBILE (R) REPLICA: POWERED BY CHEVY.

By Cammie

A company named "Fiberglass Freaks" in Logansport, Indiana is building licensed Batmobile (r) replicas, according to an eBay listing and a news report.

The Fox News NY report claims that the nearly nineteen-foot-long replicas are based on a "1970s Lincoln Town Car." The eBay listing says that at least "1966 BATMOBILE® Replica DC001" will be poweredby a "GM 350 crate engine."

Of course the campy original 1960s "batsled" was George Barris' reinterpretation of Lincoln's Futura showcar. It packed a massive Lincoln V8. Studio duplicates were reportedly based on then-late-model Ford Galaxies.

To waste the dwindling supply of 1970s Town Cars and then defile them with uber-boring, belly-button-common small block Chevy engines is just plain wrong.

However, at an M.S.R.P. of a reported $150,000.00, there's probably not very many people that will be styling like Adam West anytime soon. And we can all be thankful for that!

And before everybody gets in a clinch and starts suing us, Batmobile (r) is a registered trademark of DC Comics.
