Very sad. I met him 2 or 3 times at the Volo Auto museum. He was a very nice man...RIP

RIP.

Great human being! Met him, knew him, loved him, had the chance to see his masterpieces, he had a vision to create automobiles on such a limited budget for TV and Movies. He has been sick, when he sold the last of his Batmobiles two years ago at Barret Jackson he said, " I will miss my imagination on the screen" I hope people really appreciate what he has done. He was an artist in his own right!

Had this Monkees mobile car as a kid...trashed it. Cant imagine what Rick Harrison would give me for it today...5 dollars?

Why ruin a beautiful gto like that.. That thing is repulsive.

i think he made a few of them. seen them auction off before, only went for like 70k.

he did one, i think the first one, not really that cool...which went for 6 figures.

its like the KIT car. Its cool to have, but much cooler if anything actually worked on it.

guessing the turbo on the batmobile doesnt work so well.
