Re: Dec 8 , Sothebys has a Batmobile up for Auction

The first car was (probably) built by Jay Ohrberg. It was sold from the Cars From the Stars Museum in England for a whopping $233,000 to someone in the Cayman Islands, then was for sale again in Auburn, Indiana on 9-2-17. I 'think' it was bid to $110k, but I don't recall if it sold.

We had 475 attendees between the two days--what a great time! It was all due to the incredible people that put it together:
