The real purpose of this car was power, animal-like, barbarian strength, and speed. They certainly delivered the car as they planned. Yahoo commented that Barris and his team created a beast, which really deserves his menacing name.
In the early 1970’s one should have paid a hundred Grand, which by the way was a lot, for the car and it took them four years to produce it.

The Snake Pit originally sold for the cost from 1975. Until 2015 it was in a private collection when again it was sold for $30 800. Not much at all! However now after it is sequenced in storage for twelve years the car is now going for $750 000! What a profit, isn’t it!
The original Batmobile was sold at auction for 4.6 million dollars which is an acknowledgment and affirmation of Barrel’s ability to design a car not only of mechanical excellence but of aesthetical excellence as well. In the end, these cars are perfection made by a mechanical genius.
