1989 Bat Car Replica

[/AME]
The world’s only Turbine Powered Bat Car.
Street registered in the US and ready for immediate sale, this car needs little introduction as it has found international publicity in all forms of media.
Completed in 2011, this car was constructed in a professional racing facility alongside Grand Prix, DTM, Indy and Sports Racing cars. Its construction is in a completely different league than both replicas and of course the movie prop cars. The perception of this car is best summed up by one comment from the huge cross section of media attention “Replica? I think the movie cars were replicas of this!†Having a perfect reliability record, this car is ready to be enjoyed by an enthusiast who is looking for the ultimate luxury in one-upmanship. “Born Rich†was quoted as saying “Unluckily this car is a one-off version, but had it not been so, it certainly would have been on the wish-list of every automobile lover.†Luckily though, exclusivity is ensured.
Please see the imbedded videos that show the car being started and driven, as well as a clip from a documentary explaining the military drone helicopter from which this car’s engine had come from, and lastly of the car winning the “People’s Choice†award at the Ault Park Concours d’Elegance.

While there is much information about this car floating around the world, the media and “popular perception†can confuse details with myths. I invite serious buyers to call and learn the correct details and specifications for themselves.
Some points:
I am honest to deal with and expect prospective buyers/brokers to be as well. Games, ploys, and middleman tactics will not be tolerated with this sale. Priority will be given to an outright cash sale, but trades may be considered. The car is for sale privately and the listing may be terminated at anytime.
For the protection of intellectual property, a substantial deposit will be required if the buyer desires to inspect before finalizing the transaction. New photos will not be permitted until after the transaction is complete. Lastly, to maintain the privacy of racing car owners, build photos will also not be released until after the transaction as well.
Information about the builder may be seen at the Putsch Racing website.
Serious buyers only are invited to call at (614) 832-8728

While there is much information about this car floating around the world, the media and “popular perception†can confuse details with myths. I invite serious buyers to call and learn the correct details and specifications for themselves.
Some points:
- The car drives just as well on the highway as it does on city streets and is operated similarly to any production car.
- The turbine engine and its operation are quite simple and anyone with very basic instruction can operate it successfully.
- Maintenance is exceedingly simple and the service intervals are actually less than that of normal production cars.
- As the engine is US military in origin, it is of the finest quality and componentry.
- The ride height of the car is cockpit adjustable much like the front of newer Lamborghinis allowing the owner to navigate different terrain.
- Sound level is mostly treble so it seems loud up close, but quickly quiets as the car moves away. Cockpit sound level is acceptable.
- Exhaust gasses, while hot, do not have the destructive force that popular myth assumes.
- The car takes a few seconds to start and spin up to its idle speed, but is ready to drive immediately with no warm up period needed.
