Found this on YouTube, anyone have any other info on it.
Lost 1964 Batmobile found and restored. This is the Batmobile introduced in 1964, and was put into retirement in 1966 when George Barris built the TV series Bat car. The car started life as the Dick Williams Sports Special.

Info page on Dick Williams Sport Special

From above page 'Update as of November, 2010:
Dick’s car has been found! How neat for him.
I hope to post pictures and an updated story in the near future. However, the car has been dressed up as the Batmobile. While interesting, this in no way represents the history that Dick or his friends know of the car. If any evidence to the contrary is found, we look forward to sharing it with everyone. As far as we know, the car was never shown again, and was not ever exhibited as the Batmobile. Instead, it was “forgotten” like so many of the cars that we have come to appreciate. Exciting, though, that it survived.
