Yes, he's had it on ebay about 4 times. the purchase price barely covers what he paid for shipping.

If anyone is interested in helping out, contact me.

Wow! I salute your vision for this enterprise. I know something of acting on pure stupidity too, with my Humungus Machine. But that worked out for me! If you want some help with moving the driver's seat, shifter, and brake/gas pedals, let me know! If a lunkhead like me can do it, so can you!

I'll be watching this thread with interest.

That is VERY COOL!
I will certainly be looking forward to seeing how that goes. I understand that is s easier in many ways than the 66 batmobile to build from the kit.

Wow that looks great mate i've always been a big fan of the batmobile ever since i was a kid, ill defiantly be keeping a eye on the build because it look like this will be the first bat build in Australia besides the one that's on display a movie world.

Cool score man! That to me was the best Batmobile since the Futura concept car one from the 60's show.

That's really crazy, hope you can find a good donor car to build the chassis from. The swedish replica (and the original) were built on stretched 70's american sedan chassis, so might be a problem in Australia? And ambulance or limo chassis would be perfect.
