Joey Moran's 1966 Batmobile replica built by Mark Towle doing the first ever cross-country trek through 10 states in four days. The Batmobile is returning to its creator, Mark Towle for repairs on the rear turbine and a new Paint Job.

Mark Towle builds proven drivers! Though our competition will claim they build drivers that can withstand the rigors of regular driving we in fact NEVER see them demonstrate this!

Joey's Batmobile had a mishap with another Star Car, Herbie the Love Bug. His replica and Herbie collided in a fender bender when Joey accidentally forgot to place the Bat into park.

Herbie suffered a smashed hood and Joey’s' first ever BatVette suffered rear turbine damage. Joey would never trust anyone but Master Fabricator Mark Towle to repair his dream car so he decided to take it back to the cars creator for repairs.

Joey Moran's BatVette is the first of it's kind. A super accurate detailed, 1966 Batmobile mounted on a C4 American made Corvette.

Joey had so much confidence in the car and the unbelievable reliability of Mark Towle's build, that he decided to grab a friend, save the shipping charges and make it a vacation taking his car in for repairs.

It mattered little that his choice of repair shops was 3,000 miles away. His faith in his car, his belief in Mark Towle and his lust for adventure was all he needed to pack up his Bat and hit the road with no back up, nor planned rescue in the event of mechanical failure or disagreeable weather.

His trek would cover nearly the entire width of the United States in a replica Batmobile fabricated nearly from the ground up with working Bat Gadgets and surrounded by astounded looks from all in his path.

Here's to you Joey, for having the Grit to take your Dream Car across country sharing the joy only a Towle built replica can create proving that Towle's replicas are the best in Show or on the GO!

Many claim to have built Batmobiles but they are rarely if ever seen out on the road. If you follow the forums and the live broadcasts of the Media, the cars that are braving top speeds, keeping their canopies on and racking up the miles intact are Towle's cars. He builds DRIVERS, not oversized Aurora Models!

If you want a driving Batmobile that can perform like an American made Corvette, that can cruise to the Beach, impress the chicks, and still come home with the Best in Show Award, then Gotham Garage is your made to order Star Car one stop shop!

Ride with Joey and see a proven driver make the Grade! Our cars are built for Show and Go!
