Barris strikes again.

This makes me want to puke.

i wounder how much more valuable it would be WITHOUT barris’ chicken-scratch bullshit on it?

I’ve gotta ask, what’s the big deal? It’s the batmobile, which we know he designed?

I agree with gjustis. Although his whoring does make me grind my teeth, this is a legitimate thing for Barris to sign. At the very least we should be breathing a sign of relief that the ebay page doesn’t say, “signed by George Barris, creator of such famous movie cars as the Ecto-1.”

While that is a valid point, I still don’t like seeing that Ecto in the background.

The Ecto is the Universal Ecto, owned by Paul Francis…the guy selling the mini Batmobile. :wink:

It’s in the shot because he was there for an event, which Barris also happened to be at.

That may help explain away its presence a bit…

Ah, thank you for explaining that. Maybe I souldn’t have jumped to a conclusion so quickly. I just see that guy and that car and I get a little ill.

When I put my jeep in a museum in Denver, we joked about making a video describing how I designed the original jeeps, and that the t-rex from first movie signed the headliner… :wink:
