Lions Drag Strip, circa 1967 with the #4 Batmobile (aka “the Dragster”).

It was built of fiberglass from molds taken of the #1. It was built in late 1966 on a Ford Galaxie chassis that was lengthened by 11 inches to match the #1 Batmobile. It was utilized for many exhibition & promotional events throughout the U.S. and Canada from 1966-1968

It was also used in 1967 for exhibition runs at local dragstrips throughout the U.S. The dragstrips included Cecil County Dragway, Dover Drag Strip, Motor City Dragway, Lions Drag Strip, Island Dragway, Richmond Dragway, Irwindale Raceway and many others.

The car has a high performance Holman Moody 427 cubic inch V-8 engine and the only replica that shot flames from the turbine exhaust.

When professionally driven by “Wild Bill” Shrewsberry, it could run the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds while approaching speeds of 117 mph.
