This nutty steel and fiberglass Batman tribute car was built by Oscar Pumpin. As you might have guessed if you’ve got a sharp eye, this is actually a Bugatti replica on a ‘77 VW pan, which was then sculpted into this 22 foot long monstrosity. This is being sold by a seller in Tarpon Springs, Florida who says, “the owner of the original paid $325,000.00 for his — mine is a LOT, LOT, Lot cheaper!”

No doubt!!!! The builder/owner was actually inspired to create it after seeing the Batman Forever original in a local auto museum, and built it over two years of hard work… Now, burned out from all the work, he’s decided to let it go. No doubt it’s also a traffic stopper. It’s currently up on eBay (110280824900).

When I was a kid we had a Plymouth Fury with a 440 in it. After my parents retired it to one of the fields of our farm, I got it in my head that I wanted to convert it into a Tim Burton-era batmobile… Unfortunately I discovered that my brother and his friends had previously gotten high and decided to smash it to bits with a sledgehammer, so that project didn’t get far. Up on eBay right now are a pair of DIY batmobiles that are both pretty crazy looking…

In this post, Alan (tirezan@webtv.net) is selling this one for a friend of his (#290253605530). It’s built on a shortened S-10 chassis with a Buick V6 and a Turbo 350 transmission. The car was built by Bud Holmes in Cleveland, TN (apparently known as “Bad Bud” locally). It runs well but needs a lot of work to finish… I have no doubt that their claim that the car “blows peopls minds” is true… It’s completely kooky!

Pierre, who lives just south of Montreal in Quebec, Canada, has this Aztec 7 up for sale, and is willing to throw in an unassembled dunebuggy as well (with all the pieces including engine and transmission) — $5,000 takes them both. He’s also open to any interesting trades. You can contact him at pierre.krstic@sympatico.ca. This is one of the few Aztec 7s in Canada (and they can’t be imported), so if you want one, write Pierre. It’s had a few modifications done including headlight relocation and the possibility of hood scoops.

I just noticed a pair of Craigslist ads (797045564 and 797033066; Jhonpaul @ 360-801-3722) in Seattle advertising a pair of classic Elite Enterprises kit cars. First up they’ve got the more common Laser 917, built on a VW pan with a Buick V6 powering it. Asking price is $5,000.

More interestingly, they also have a Mini 18 (aka Mini Max), something you almost never see for sale. He’s asking $3,800 for this ultra-rare kit car. Both cars are running but could use work, with the Mini 18 needing more work.

Daniel in Lake Havasu City, Arizona has a nice clean Kelmark GT, visually a muscle-car meets Ferrari 246 Dino, for sale for $5,300. His is on a 1973 VW pan, built in 1991, and he says it runs great and is a previous show winner (purchased from Ed Kaltenbach in Albuquerque around 2002). Drop him a line at danielcook1@hotmail.com if you’re interested.

Robbie in San Diego, California has a really nice looking Invader GT that he uses as his daily driver. He’s missing the plexi doors though — which he can get away with due to being in San Diego — and was hoping that someone could suggest where to get a new set short of fabricating them himself. You can reach him at redcapsociety@gmail.com.

Kevin in the Detroit area has got this interesting Fiberfab Aztec 7 (type B) project car — interesting because it’s built on a midengine V6 chassis, similar to what would be in a Valkyrie.

He’s got all the fiberglass (except the seats), and it’s in good shape except for a few chips underneath and no cracks. The louvres are sagging slightly. He has the side glass but not the front glass, and is asking $1,000 and can be reached at A_Z_T_E_C_7@hotmail.com. It’s going to take some work, but for the right person this car has a ton of potential.
