This was a neat find. About a decade ago the wife and I were at a mall--She wanted some shoes-that gave me the blues-instead of a snooze-I decided to cruise-in a dollar store with nothing to loose-this is what I found-and here is the news. Sorry, I was just practicing my "rap" (yeah, I know--I'll just stick to slots).
What's neat about this piece is the scale. As you can see in the pics, it compliments the Aurora cars' size well. Not an easy conversion--with a lot of grinding involved. It was originally a pull-back type and it's the smallest plastic bat-mobile body of this type I've seen. It's powered by an Aurora slim-line chassis. It's kind of slow (no after-burner), but still looks ok when running a lap or two.
cheers...
