The Batmobile on Barrett-Jackson

I am so sick of the Shelby name after watching that auction for two nights. 
As for the Batmobile, the guy said his mind was made up and he'd been following the car for 15 years waiting for it to go up for sale. George Barris was funny.
Did anyone catch the deal on a genuine '69 COPO Camaro?

I had always thought it was built off an Olds Delmont 88 body, but it was really a Ford Futura. I'll be darned.
$4.2mil? To a fan, worth every penny. Very cool.

It was a Green on Green 4spd car, Josh.
In my opinion there wasn't a much nicer example of a COPO Camaro than that car. It went for $105K when DZ Z/28's were going for $110K. Granted the high priced Z's; one was four-wheel disc, and the other was cross-ram, but I still didn't think that warranted the low price on the COPO. The Z's were on the money... the COPO was well bought.
Tom, they said last night, and I always heard, the Batmobile was based on a Lincoln.
If I remember correctly the Monkeymobile was based on a '66-'67 GTO... which I think is blasphemy.

They rank right up there for me as well. I only remember seeing one ZL1 cross the block at Barrett-Jackson and that was a few years ago. If I remember correctly it was Reggie Jackson's car, and I do remember it never reached the reserve.
A '70 Buick GSX Stage One 4spd would be another car I'd like to have. I couldn't pass up a '71 Hemi 'Cuda 4spd either.
They had a Dickie Harrell built '69 427 Camaro SS (originally a 375hp 396 car sent to Harrell with full documentation and original Harrell motor and original "stinger" hood) cross the block this year. It went for right around $220K to Rick Hendrick.
My dream car is a 69 Yenko Chevelle, Camaro, or Nova. In perfect condition they will bring in a million dollars
