Batmobile Replica to be on display at Saratoga Automobile Museum to promote the Saratoga Auto Auction
The 1966 Batmobile replica to be present in the museum beginning Sunday, May 20 at the Spring Auto Show through the Saratoga Auto Auction
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (May 18, 2018) — To promote the upcoming Saratoga Auto Auction this September, the Saratoga Automobile Museum will display one of this year’s consigned vehicles, a 1966 Batmobile Replica. The Batmobile will make its debut on Sunday, May 20 at the Spring Auto Show until it is auctioned off at the Saratoga Auto Auction at SPAC on Sept. 21 and 22.
“We’re thrilled to be able to showcase this Batmobile Replica at the Spring Auto Show and at the Museum this summer ahead of the Saratoga Auto Auction,” said Carly Connors, executive director of the Saratoga Automobile Museum.
The owner and builder of the 1966 Batmobile replica spent seven years crafting this car. Starting with the frame and drive train from a Lincoln Continental, the owner/builder completed this project with a fiberglass body with steel reinforced mountings, a 460 V8 engine, automatic transmission and all the licensed accessories including triple rocket tubes with LED lights, emergency beacon, display parachutes, working propane-fueled flame thrower, rear back-up camera, CD/DVD player with a 7" screen, and electric actuator-controlled hood and trunk. The finishing paint was completed with perfectionist detail.
The Spring Auto Show will take place on Sunday, May 20 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Saratoga Spa State Park.
