Batmobile used a 390!

All this time we thought it was a nuclear turbine that powered the Batmobile. As it turns out, it was a 390 Ford.

At 5500 lbs, you would almost need a 390!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-Oct-02 AT 10:49 PM (EST)]Don't laugh. My Grandmothers cousin was one of the original designersof the Bat mobile and The munsters car. I never asked her his name. As far as i Know she is telling the truth.

Is says right on the web page referenced who designed, built and owns the car.

It would seem your family members are lying to you.
