Poor Keith Jackson will have to switch to the cheaper brand of caviar (SP ?). That's what he gets for helping to blow the collector car market through the roof. Makes it tougher on the working man that wants an antique or hot rod.

The biggest waste on money was the destroying the original Lincoln concept car from which the Batmobile was built up from. It was also a tragedy to a very historical "one only" car.

It sold in January for 4.6 mil. It was up for auction again so soon on memorial day?
Possibilities are the new owner is pimping the car out to shows to help pay for it and they hired Barris along with the car for the shows or the car is one of the 3 fiberglass copies Barris made of the original.

In defense of Barris chopping up concept car: yes it's a shame the car was destroyed, but the story I heard and read was that FoMoCo had it out at the Barris shop, didn't want it back and sold it to them for a buck.
