OMG!!!! i had that Batmobile when i was a kid!!! I remember the little flame shooting in and out when you moved the car forward and the little rockest that shot up with the metal wheel on the back! what great memories!

memories are the most important. Best wishes

[@davidbain2396]

I had it as well!

[@danasharpe3247]

I had one of these when I was a kid. Literally can't believe you even did the box. Mine was from "Santa" and it made a home in my Batman Lunch box.

You're restoration was amazing, but the most impressive part was you were able to find the full packaging and instructions to repro. That blew my mind!

i had one of these when i was a kid, brings back memories, you could put matches in the launcher and LAUNCH EM!

You would only use matches if you had lost the yellow plastic 'bonbs'. My batmobile still has its bombs after 60 years!

[@roberto1431]

Nice to see someone take their time and special care in their work. It shouldn’t matter to anyone else that it takes away the originality or a decal was different. It’s YOUR car.

[@BlackClaws]

Wow... I had that toy as a kid and felt this in my soul. Serious nostalgia.

[@thrashmetaldave]

Fantastic job restoring an iconic Batmobile 👍 I remember having one of these as a kid in the 80s. The rockets had been lost, of course, but replaced with matchsticks

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@desiolle2874]

I used to have one similar...I think it was Corgi...you pushed a button on the back and Batman and Robin would pop up alternatively and shoot...loved it

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@footofjuniper8212]

At 14:28, as the characters were slowly covered in pink goo, all I could hear was William Dozier saying, "Will the dynamic duo escape in time? Tune in next week for 'No Ooze is Good Ooze,' same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!"

[@The_Str4nger]

Holy goo, Batman!

[@martinhambleton5076]

What about commissioner Gooden?

[@brinsonopinion]

This is so great! I still have mine with the figurines, got it in the early 70s - but the tires on mine are red. Paint is very worn from them but the blade still pops down! Don't have the rockets anymore thought. I have the boat as well. I really admire the amount of skill & detailed work you put into this project, great job!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Scott

[@micpar2]

WOW! Amazing job. I was a five year old in 66 when the series premiered. Or a few days or weeks from being five. Loved the original Batmobile. I never would think a toy this damaged could be repaired like this. Beautiful job. The instructions/display work is awesome!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Hugo

[@Unfnation]

I got mine when I was in the hospital getting my tonsils out. My mom of course, and it totally brightened up what was a terrible experience. They kept me for 4 days due to Asthma so I got to watch my sister and all the other kids leave until it was just me. I loved the missiles but apparently my mother was not as keen as I was on them. Thanks for that memory. It's been a long long time.

I mostly don't look at KZbin to any film. But this is really the best i ever have seen on KZbin. What a passion, what a Artist, what a Craftsmen. I take my hat of for you Sir.

[@TomCat777]

I haven't seen one of these in decades, I used to have one when I was little back in the 70s. The one I had the fridge would pulse in and out of the back, and a projectile fired from out of the pipes on the top back. Truly amazing work you do

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool. Thank you very much

Wow, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. I had the American version, which came with the Batboat on a trailer, which is why there's a hook on the back of the Batmobile.

[@Gunftknetl]

The german version, too.

[@stephenrose1343]

Another car I recently found in my parents house.I remember having two versions, one with a batboat and trailer, that must have disappeared long ago, but I still have the other complete, but for some chipped paint.This is the coolest Batmobile ever,it still makes me smile.Thanks for tge brilliant restoration.

I bought an old brass floor lamp at a yard sale years ago, and just this morning I laid it on its side to polish it. One of these batmobile toys is lodged sideways into a little groove in the underside of the base. I can't imagine how some kid managed to get it in there so tightly...I've tried hard to dislodge it, and it's not coming out.

[@nubianprincessqueenofsaba2342]

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@crazexskater]

Great work but no cigar...missing the day glow red pinstripes and red bat- symbol of correct style. Why go to such pains to only miss on such trivial points? The box and everything else is a work of art.

[@DavidLJarvis]

Exaaaactly! I was wondering the same thing. The Corgi never had the red pin stripes (at least not the ones I owned from the late 1960's and the one I still own from '78) but the red side bat logos are still made and can be purchased.

[@julianshepherd2038]

I'd forgotten the box and suddenly I was 7 again. Wow!

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@bromley001]

I had this as a kid. Used to use matchsticks as rockets. That was the 80s, so it had already notched a few years up by then. Think it's still around somewhere.

[@PaulRestorer]

Great memories! I can still hear my dad saying, "ya know, if you were smart, you'd keep it in the box."

Fantastic job, I have fond childhood memories of this car, didn't realise it was supposed to have Robin it too😄

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Rik

[@jimmyhawke]

The bat emblem on the door is wrong. It is a red-orange bat that is supposed to match the pinstripes on the car. I had an original Corgi Batmobile when I was young. And it had rubber tires and with pot metal wheels that also had orange bats on them.

[@22448824]

The one in the video is the later edition without bat logo on the wheels. Neither that one or the earlier one had the red pinstripes on like the actual Batmobile. This really annoyed me as a child so I painted some on it which, although a bit DIY certainly brought it to life. Still got it, perished tyres and all.

[@flightsimgeek579]

I used to own this as a kid. I also had the Bat Boat on a trailer and the Bat Helicopter.

[@thebillo313]

Wow, truly Expert Level restoration. Very impressive. I've loved the 267 since 1970, when I was 5 years old and my neighbor had one. I was so taken with it that when eBay became a thing it was one of the first things I bought. Let me know if you ever take on outside work. Again, great job, it was fascinating to watch.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@Optimiser113]

I actually had one of these when I was a little kid.

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

Well yes, but how about a _demonstration_ of the "rocket launcher" or the "bumper cleaver" or the "exhaust flame" features..?? I mean, that's what was _cool_ about this model. Firing lit matches from the rocket launcher. Those were the days.

[@DrWhosmate]

Hah yeah, house full of "smokers" and wool rugs so even the worst burn was just overlooked as "smurf bites". 😉The little red(?) plastic rice like 'rockets' got lost pretty fast, so after that it was a natural progression to the most dangerous thing you could ping out of there, occasionally if you got the placement right, you could set off a paper cap and fire a pin out of it. Yup, back when the only cure for boredom was finding new ways to permanently disable yourself with the most innocuous of items. 🤣

[@bluegent7]

Those were the reasons I watched. I had one of these cars as a kid and I was waiting to see it's mechanical features demonstrated on this video.

Ah, the famous Batmobile. Every boy in school wanted one.

Blue on mine as well and on the boat!

There were many versions..one did have clear glass,I still have it. Bat insignia on wheel hubs on earlier model and I think they painted the figures differently too.. I think there was a budget version with no figures but might be wrong..

Very nice restoration. This version had the towing hook extension on the turbine exhaust for the Bat Boat on a trailer, which could be bought separately or a combined boxed set.
