If you’re a real 80’s baby, you might remember watching the live-action Batman show at Six Flag’s Great Adventure around 1989. It was a re-enactment of certain scenes from the movie, complete with a replica of the Batmobile (keyword: replica). The car you now see before you, is the real deal. One ambitious eBay seller is looking to get rid of one of the five actual Batmobiles from the Tim Burton classic for a cool $500,000 bucks that actually works, just not street-legal. Here’s what he had to say about some of the vehicle’s specs:

The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The chassis is custom built and the motor is a Chevrolet 350. To get in you have to be able to enter through the top where the canopy opens, just like in the movie.

If that doesn’t convince you to come out of pocket yet, the gallery of close-ups will after the jump.

John Mayer isn’t the only celebrity with a taste for the theatrical. Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor dons the Joker’s signature green hair and white makeup in the colorful video for “Ready For The Floor” from their third LP, “Made In The Dark.” Fever for “The Dark Knight” can only get worse from here on out.
