I think that it has more to do with selling a race car at a collector car auction. I doubt that the Batmobile would have sold for over 4 million bucks on Racing Junk, or in the National Dragster. Its seems like the druken millionaires at Barrett-Jackson are more inclined to snatch up Max Wedge fakes, tributes, re-creations etc than one that is actually a race car. Bucks Chevelle likely would have sold for triple if Reggie Jackson had signed the trunk lid.
