PHILADELPHIA — Yearning for your own Bat car? For $50,000, you can buy a 1970s Chevrolet Corvette dressed up to look vaguely like the Batmobile driven by Michael Keaton on the streets of Gotham City in the 1989 movie about the Caped Crusader.
Mark Shields, who calls himself "Super Genius," is a computer programmer in Philadelphia. He somehow stumbled onto this 1978 Corvette that was souped up by a previous owner in 1991. Shields has set up a page on his Web site about the car. The site does not reveal much about the background, saying only that it was "handmade using high-density foam, fiberglass and a variety of classified materials."
He's asking $50,000 cash for the car and is very keen to point out that this is not a kit car and no molds are available: "Make your own molds after you buy the car," he advises.
What this means to you: $50,000 will buy a lot of comic books. A lot of comic books.
