Straight Outta Gotham Sh*tty: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette
Bruce Wayne tugged at his 7-Eleven name tag and glanced at the clock. I hate the swing shift, he thought behind his dark brown eyes. I want to be fighting crime, not selling cans over overpriced energy drinks. But this wasn’t the millionaire Bruce Wayne from the big screen, this was the Bruce Wayne who was raised by his step grand uncle Alfred in small farming community a few miles outside of downtown Gotham City. And his Bat Mobile wasn’t something assembled using aerospace materials…no…it was assembled from scrap metal and parts sourced from the local pick and pull. Bruce spent more time exchanging used broken rivet guns at his local Harbor Freight than he cared to admit. Not all heroes wear capes, but this one has a big block V8.

Perfect in every way.
“You have to drive it to like it”. Is that the automotive equivalent of “she has a great personality”?
“The name is Flatman, this is my Flatmobile.â€
Note the full size spare.
I see this is for sale near CalArts, I wonder if it’s connected. You could easily build something like this in the super shop there. Between the film school and the art school people were always building stuff like this there.
Look up “POS” in the dictionary and there’s a photo of this sorry excuse for a car.
After taking a closer look at this, I’m pretty sure this is a former camera car for film production. You can see cut off tubes over the front wheels where a crane was attached, and the recess in the front is about what you expect on a camera car. There seem to be a lot of attachment brackets on it and connections for intercom lines on the dashboard. Given its location I’d say it’s a sure thing.
I sold new cars at a Ford dealer in the really early seventies. My boss told me, “There’s an ass for every seat.” Based on that, that car will sell.
Needs a machine gun in the front between the wheels……clear out the chaff the driver encounters
