The only problems I had with this was that:
a. The decision on who would buy was decided on a coin flip, ruining the whole point of an auction.
b. The frenzy of the crowd enabled Barrett Jackson Auctions to push the price way up.
I'm not saying the car's not worth it - it's an icon in it's own right. If someone wants to pay 5 point something million for it after premiums and taxes, go ahead.
Too bad some selfish bastard ended up with it and it'll be on permanent display in his Arizona living room. Not that there's fans or anything that would pay to see the damn thing all over North America and the world, for that matter. I was hoping Ron Pratt would bid on it so it could be displayed in a museum - I guess when Mr Champagne divorces his blonde bimbo it'll come up for auction again. . .

But doesn't Adam West own it and drive it around town?

Seth McFarlane gave West a more forgiving depiction, although he's never given him the Batmobile.
SCORE ONE FOR GROENING.
BTW, the Batmobile commanded such a high price because there were still samples of Burt Ward's spunk left in the passenger seat.

Be patient till the last.
auction houses count on frenzies to jack the bids up.
and of course with a provenance like Burt Ward's spunk in the passenger seat, well....!

And how come Batman doesn't dance anymore? Remember the Bat-U-Si?

I'd like to see him try that against the Scoutmaster.
