    To drive a Batmobile so well built that it drives like a brand new Lincoln would be a dream come true. Very cool that someone is actually building them that well.

    I am a child of the 50's 60's etc. As soon as I seen the Bat Mobile I fell in love and still have that same childhood love for that car.

    I still can't believe George Barris got this car for only $1 dollar! AMAZING! George Barris is an ABSOLUTE GENIUS he is credited with building many custom TV show and celebrity cars, a lifelong passion indeed!❤🚗⭐

    Wow! What a great video. Mark is a dear friend of my family and I (he was my dad's college roommate) and we love visiting the shop and seeing the cars. If you ever are near the shop, stop in and I'm sure he would give a tour to anyone that stops in. Thanks for the video with all the cool and interesting info about the shop!

    These iconic cars are beautiful, and I would love to see someone build a Batcave in their shop or have the cave a working shop. Ever since the show came out I've always wanted a Batcave with my own Batmobile.

    I owned a bodyshop, and this guy's work is very STRAIGHT! He looks like the comic book nerd on The Simpsons but w/a sweet attitude. And by the way, a "Lambo" (Lamboghini) is not "American muscle", it's Italian.
    Thanks for the video.

    I remember that the original "lead sled" Batmobile/Futura had a 368 c.i. Turnpike Cruiser V8. The 4 other Batmobiles Barris made were fiberglass, made from molds created from the original. These other Batmobiles were considerably lighter and had 289 or 302 small-block Ford V8's.

      They costumes, and Batmobile interior, are aerosol sprayed with a variant of the Bat Shark Repellent to keep them from getting wet in the rain. See The Batman Movie for details.

    Too bad we can't combine our experiences. I'm from Detroit, worked at the Ford Rouge plant, moved to California, lived right up the road from George Barris's garage and showroom in North Hollywood, worked at Burbank Studios and I DID get to meet Cesar Romero. So I imagine the two of us would have a lot of stories to share.

    with a 427 Ford emblem on the front fenders. It may have been on one of the ones that Barris refurbished?
