'66 Chevrolet Batmobile & Yamaha Batcycle

The Batmobile is a recreation that was built to match the original down to the last bolt, it’s been autographed by the cast of the ’66 series – Adam West, Burt Ward, Lee Merriweather, and Julie Newmar. It’s packing a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 with an Edelbrock manifold and Weber dual-carbs, it’s fitted with a Turbo 350 automatic GM transmission, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes.

Since being acquired by the John Staluppi Collection it was fitted with subtle turn signals and a few other touches to make it road legal. Interestingly, the original 1966 Batmobile was actually a concept car originally built in 1954 in Italy by Ghia. It was based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura and after being displayed at the Chicago Auto Show it fell into a private collection, over 10 years later 20th Century Fox were rushing the production of the ’66 TV series so they had the Ghia Futura modified by George Barris.

Gold Digger Bike

By Kreater Custom Cycles

KR GT-1 Prototype - The Arch Motorcycle Co.

The KR GT-1 Prototype is the brainchild of Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger, they began collaborating on a custom bike for Keanu back in 2007 and over time it evolved from a one-off design to a whole new motorcycle company now called – The Arch Motorcycle Company.

The KR GT-1 Prototype is based on Keanu’s 2005 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide although it’s fairly clear that Hollinger has been hard at work creating an all new triple tree, fuel tank, rear cowling, seat, foot controls, frame and exhaust system. The frame is a fairly remarkable work of engineering, it’s a sport bike derived mono-shock with a floating swing arm coupled to a CNC milled aluminium subframe.
