Built atop a lowly Chevrolet Impala chassis (or two), we don’t imagine that the next owner of the Batmobile in this auction will be pulling too many Batman-esque stunts. Still, to own one of the cars used by Michael Keaton and Kim Basinger in the 1989 Tim Burton-directed movie is pretty cool. A few salient facts: This sucker is 20-feet long and 8-feet wide, so you’re going to need a Bat Cave-sized garage. It’s powered by a (probably anemic) Chevy 350 V8, so it’s fuel mileage theoretically approaches that of the fictional turbine engine depicted in the flick. Lastly, the new owner will need you to sign a Warner Brothers buy agreement, which we hear is pretty limiting in what it grants you to do with the vehicle. Still, how many people can actually state, “I think I’ll take the Batmobile to work this day?” Therefore, we deem this vehicle epic. Thanks for the tip, BMW122487!
