Correct.
The Futura sat for a few years in the Barris Bone yard.
When the series came up, the Futura was converted.
During filming, at least 2 Fiberglas copies were made for back ups

Now you can buy one. "Fiberglass Freaks" is licensed to sell TV Batmobile Replicas.
One site lists their price at $98,000.oo
Another at $150,000.oo
But an area TV News report said an L.A., Cal. area Dealer was selling them in their showroom for $60,000.oo or so!!

And yes, both Polar Lights & Mobius started with Aurora re-pops.
I think Mobius does more limited releases though.
All of theirs are more expensive than similar size Polar Lights kits!!!
