It’s being sold in a non-functional “rolling only” condition, with the battery, fuel tank and throttle controls have been removed. Among the highlights are a custom-made chassis with 31” Hoosier racing tires and a Honda 750 engine, as well as two plastic, resin, and fiberglass cannon barrels secured to the front of the vehicle.ĭon’t think you can just drive off the auction floor with this one, however. This one has spent the last several years stored at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, and was featured prominently in the Hollywood Dream Machines exhibit since 2019 and in the museum’s Private Vault for VIP tours. They were also used for numerous events in the promotion of the movies. The Batpod being offered is one of six made for the production of Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, with the vehicles largely driven by stunt rider Jean-Pierre Goy during filming. Made from a cream lightweight silk fabric, the costume features a hidden zipper along its side as well as hook-and-eye fasteners on the white shoulder. The ceremonial gown, with its lower-cut neckline and unique integral sleeve drapery, was also used as the basis for Leia’s look in several Star Wars posters, and Fisher was shot by photographer David Steen for numerous publicity photos in the dress. Adding to the aura of the auction item, this is believed to be the only Leia costume known to still exist from the original film. Designed by costume designer John Mollo, who earned an Oscar for his work on Star Wars, this was the gown used by Fisher for the film’s final scene where Leia bestows Luke Skywalker and Han solo with their medals. Nothing the auction is offering up is likely to be as iconic and coveted as the Princess Leia ceremonial dress, which was screen-matched to determine its authenticity. Online and telephone bids can be placed across the whole event. The first day will feature in-room bidding, open to the public, at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
Over 1,400 items will be sold over three days, from June 28 to June 30 in Los Angeles.
