    We have it right …
    We have it right here in Utah at the Parts + Plus Autorama in the South Towne Expo. Center in Sandy!

    My dad took me there to see this and many other cool cars for my birthday yesterday (Feb. 23)! I’m as many years old as this show has had of seasons (39). (Happy b. day to me, heheh! Only 1 more year before I hit the big 4-0. Bleh.)

    So yes, you can rest assured that for now this car IS still available for you to see in person if they bring this version of the Autorama to an area you can get to!

    I was totally …
    I was totally disappointed when I heard that the original Batmobile had sold. I really had my heart set on seeing it someday. Hopefully, the new owner will donate it to a museum in the future, or even have it sitting on display somewhere. That guy bought a precious piece of American History there, and he should be thrilled to share it with the whole world, like the original owner and creator George Barris did.

    If they would have …
    If they would have had Adam West and Burt Ward Drive the car on stage I’ll bet it would have gone for even more! George is an Icon of the automobile kustomization world. I have his autograph on several T shirts from his visit to our car club Dead Mans Curve. A great guy!

    Mr. Barris is one …
    Mr. Barris is one of the mosr genuinly true good-ghearted honest and friendliest person in the business I have ever met, and I have met thousands of them. Took my son to the car show when he was about 6 and got Mr. Barris autograph, and while signing he asked about us, I told him how I’d been working on cars since I was 9 and he invited son and I to sit down beside him and visit
