The 60s must have been some WILD times they were

Definitely different.    Jeff

????? Why does that eBay ad make you decide that? They were wild times. But not because of that.

[Harry P.]

That could have been built last week... I guess that would mean the '10s are wild times!

Some kid wanted a Bat-mobile really badly. I can't tell what the base car was. Maybe a 64 Plymouth? The trailer came in the Chevy II wagon, I believe.

Restore ~Use for PARTS ~or continue to customize !

Izzat so?

Poor little Oldsmobile. 

[Greg K]

some crude models back then

some crude models back then 

...ummm...there still are...and still a lot of folks who think they look good too...

[Tom Geiger]

I don't even want that one!   And I collect old customs from that era!

[Harry Joy]

Oooh! $3.99!!! But there is no "BUY IT NOW" button.

[Chuck Most]

Wild indeed!

I can honestly say that I might have built one like that in my early days; everybody has to start SOMEWHERE..

I once got a "junk yard" off ebay. One of the cars was a '68 Cadillac with the roof/glass off a Lancia Stratos. It was poorly done and not finished. I just threw it away.

[StevenGuthmiller]

Looks like it could have been one of those kits that was passed down from big brother to little brother..........possibly several times.

And embellished each time!

I'm not seeing much for usable parts, unless you happen to need a dash & steering wheel for a '63 Olds.

I recognize some of the custom parts. Up front they're the hood, headlights and fender extensions from the AMT '64 Grand Prix; it's missing the clear headlight covers and '54 Kaiser grille. Looks like two Double Dragster kit canopies on the back.

Back then it was "use whacha got". Looks like firecracker fodder.

The 60's were wild. I wish I could remember them.

The 60's were wild. I wish I could remember them.

 

I'm young enough to remember them. The 1970's became a little hazy for me. My ingestion of certain substances changed somewhere along the line back then. But before those changes, I remember building kits that weren't much better than that. My kit bashing never turned out that bad. But, it could be bad none the less.

By the way, I'm wondering if this auction is worth bidding on for the trailer? The trailer didn't look too bad from what I could see. I personally will not bid on this just for the trailer. But, some others might?

[pharoah]

I didn't know the Batmobile had a trailer!  lol.

 

[gtx6970]

I was thinkiing it was either a 63 or 64 Oldsmobile.

 

IMO< the trailer is worth the price. I would tell hm to just drop the car in the trash

My dog says 'ruff ruff'

[StevenGuthmiller]

I was thinkiing it was either a 63 or 64 Oldsmobile.

 

Looks like a Johan '63 Starfire to me.

The only '64 Olds kitted was an AMT '64 Cutlass to my knowledge.

This looks to be a full size car & appears to be a Johan kit.

It looks to be that a young boy, perhaps about 12 or 13, had a well stocked parts box and wanted a 1/25 scale Batmobile when the TV show went on air in '66, but all of the kit manufactures were asleep at the wheel. You can see where it had fins at one time, and I'd bet it had some kind of front windscreens at one time too. I guess he couldn't wait 40 years.
