Now’s your chance to live like Batman.
Ever wanted to live like Batman? Well, next month could be your best chance yet to live that dream. US Marshalls will auction off three iconic movie car replicas: the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters, Tim Burton’s Batmobile from Batman, and the tricked-out DeLorean from Back to the Future. Authorities obtained the vehicles after investigating a company for healthcare fraud and drug crimes, sentencing the owner to a nearly eight-year prison term.
The company hosting the auction has few details about each of the three cars other than the expected year, make, and model information. The Ectomobile is a 1959 Cadillac that does a remarkable job recreating the iconic movie car. There’s the Ghostbusters’ emblem on the doors along with all the equipment on the roof. It’s not perfect either, with peeling paint and a cracked window.
The 1981 DeLorean looks to be in better shape, and it even features a signature from Back to the Future actor Christopher Loyd who played Doc Brown. The flux capacitor is included along with the rest of the movie car’s upgrades. The Batmobile is a bit different than the other two, with custom bodywork and unique interior. However, underneath the cape crusader’s menacing machine is a 1995 Chevy Caprice with a 5.7-liter V8 under the long hood.
Those interested have multiple ways to bid on the cars. The auction will be held at Skipco Auto Auction in Canal Fulton, Ohio, at 9 a.m on Saturday, August 1. Capacity is limited to 120 people to ensure social distancing is possible. However, the auction will simulcast online for those who don’t want to attend in person. Those online Byers will have to register and call the company by July 31 to ensure they have access. Once registered for online bidding, you can set a maximum bid, so you don’t have to participate manually. If you want to see the cars, you’ll have to register with Skipco on the company’s website.
