Yes 4.2 with 10% commission on both sides. I heard that they guy who bought it plans to build a room around it in his house. Not drive it. It was showing it's age a little. But still very cool to be standing next to an icon from my youth.

1972 Charger Topper Special, 360ci, 46RH OD trans, 8 3/4 sure grip with 3.91 gear, 14.93@92 mph.
1973 Charger Rallye, 4 speed, muscle rat. Whatever engine right now?

I heard that as well  :-\ I hope he at least puts in a garage door so it could be taken out once in a while. It would be a shame for it not to be seen out in the public from time to time. Too much money and people get funny, I know the liability thing but it has to be insured anyway  :shruggy:

Since it was sold on a bill of sale, can it even be licensed ?

It was a Lincoln Futura built in '54.

I think I'd rather have a Tumbler. Most of the Batmobiles have been pretty ugly IMO but at least the Tumbler is conceptually practical for crime-fighting, having been designed for military applications.

Sorry but I would never spend 4.2 million on a car no matter what it was. I really can't seeing spending $100,000 on a car.
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

Don Currie, a member of this board, builds replica batmobiles. One of them he had for sale years ago had a 440 in it. 

He also builds noses and wings for Superbirds.

Ya, that's the guy I was thinking about. I remember coming across a post about the Daytona parts he was fabricating. I visited the site he had posted a link to. I came across pics of a batmobile he built. It had a huge amount of detail and functional features from what I remember.

That Batmobile is just a car in the same way that a Mickey Mantle rookie card is just a piece of printed paperboard.  I wouldn't pay $4 mil for it either but I understand how some people would.

4.2 MILLION could buy a lot of mopar muscle and a nice building to put them in!  :icon_smile_big:

I might be the only one who wants to see it restored back to the Lincoln Futura.

$4.2M is a lot but put it in perspective. If the guy is wealthy and let's say has $100M company he probably wouldn't miss that money.
