Anyone who grew up watching Adam West portray everyone's favorite caped crusader on the 1960s live action Batman series will get a kick out of this new Batmobile design, this time applied to a heavy duty Ford F-150 pick up truck.
While the original design was designed by George Barris, 87, his 23-year-old grandson Jared has applied his grandfather's design in his own way to a unique vehicle. The truck goes by the name of Crimefighter F-150. The modification is actually commercially available to Galpin Auto Sports customers who purchase a new F-150 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The original Batmobile is still running and kicking, and is actually going up for auction soon. If you have an extra $3 million (the expected selling price) lying around, you can own what is likely the ultimate bat prize for comic book fans around the world.
