Mark Racop grew up in Logansport, Indiana, about 45 minutes east of Lafayette, Indiana, in the seventies. Like many kids his age, his favorite show was Batman, a wild adventure show to a kid, a ridiculous but hilarious show for adults. Mark wanted to drive the Batmobile. He couldn't do that, so he did the next best thing: he and four friends built a replica of the TV show's car! He was only 17 when they started on the car. Now, Mark has a company where all they do is build Batmobiles in Logansport and ship them all over the world!

 

Next summer he hopes to open a museum dedicated to the Caped Crusader and firing up the next generation of fans of the show.

So explore below and sit in the very car Mark and his friends built when he was 17! Then explore further to see where he builds the new cars and some cars in progress. After that check out the videos where he talks about Batman, the Batmobile and his new museum!
