Sarasota native Bello Nock showed up in the Batmobile at the exotic car show yesterday.

Like it wasn't meant to be looked at up close.

Is that the original one that Barris sold at Barrett Jackson and the owner re-sold? Or is it one of the many clones?

Iconic celebcar even if its dinged up. Cool hair on the driver too.

I saw some of this dude's stunts on TV, monster testicles.

The Nock Entertainment Group, which I believe is run by Benno's brother Eugene, owns this Batmobile, as well as a Batcycle and the original Batcopter.

There's a video embedded in this link which tells the story. This is one of six from 1966, but it is not number 1. The video also has Dickie Smothers, another Sarasota car guy. You can see Benno wandering around.

Since I mentioned Dickie Smothers, he was there to do an interview, which is entertaining if you can get past that annoying woman. He talks about the Who on his show, which was done live, and about LBJ's reaction to being constantly satirized by Dickie and Tommy.

This probably belongs in the Pit at LeMans subforum.

Was Bellos' hair combed flat before the drive in the Batmobile?
