FWIW, 2 years ago I was at a Kruse Auction, and they were conducting a sale at a car museum in Daytona that had a few "movie cars." George Barris himself was there, hawking a Batmobile as "one of the orginal 4 from the TV show." The car brought a staggering $200,000. Weeks after the auction, the buyer learned that this was not a car used in the TV show, but a recreation built by Barris many years later. Lawsuits were threatened but in the end Kruse bought the car back. Now a Barris BTTF DeLorean?
