Last weekend, The Barrett-Jackson auction house held its first auction of the year, and there were plenty of unique automobiles\u00a0for sale, including the Batmobile. The vehicle brought in an impressive $4.2 million, making up a small portion of the $223.8 million that the auction house raised over the weekend, according to AOL Autos.<\/p>\n

There have been many different versions of the Batmobile over the years, including the flame-throwing version created by Tim Burton in the 1990s, but the original vehicle featured in the 1960s\u00a0“Batman” TV show may be even more coveted by fans of the Dark Knight.\u00a0While Burton’s model barely even qualified as a car, the ‘<\/span>60s version was muc<\/span>h closer to being a street-legal design. Auto customizer\u00a0George Barris started the transformation\u00a0with a 1955 Lincoln<\/a>” target=”_self”>Lincoln<\/a> Futura\u00a0concept car, and then\u00a0installed a clear bubble over the passenger cab and added tons of fun crime-fighting features to create the legendary ride. The vehicle, which remained in Barris’ possession until the auction, was equipped with lasers, a “Batphone,” smoke screen capabilities and other devices to stop criminals in their tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were plenty of other models that fetched prices in the millions at the annual Scottsdale, Arizona, sale. Motor Authority reports the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray sold for $1.1 million, for example. Other vehicles failed to do as well as expected – George W. Bush’s Ford<\/a> F-150 only brought in $300,000 and a 1958 Corvette owned by the CEO of General Motors came up short with a winning bid of $270,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drivers looking to experience the thrill of the auction without shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars can bid on used cars at New Jersey State Auto Auction<\/a>. The dealer has four football fields of models to choose from, and every vehicle on the lot is CARFAX certified.<\/p>\n
