Gene Winfield's hand-built aluminum Reactor, based on a classic Citroën DS, was something of a small screen celebrity in the 60s. It made guest appearances on "Bewitched," "Star Trek," "Mission: Impossible" and "Batman," in which Eartha Kitt (as Catwoman) once picked up a cackling Joker, played by Cesar Romero.

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's 1964 Orbitron was meant to look like a futuristic drag racer. The body is topped with a plastic bubble top, there's a (now long obsolete) TV in the dash, and the three lights at the front (red, green, and blue) were meant to combine to project a beam of while light. <br /><br />But one of Orbitron's design features was considerably more dated: the interior is completely lined with baby blue faux fur.

The frame of this Dodge Charger is incredibly light, thanks to a carbon fiber exterior, but a powerful boat engine -- designed by Mercury Marine -- gives it extra power. In fact, it likely gives more power than the car could ever need, if you ask lead builder David Salvaggio. <br /><br />"The load of an engine from extreme throttling in and out of the water with a boat... is more abuse than any car could ever put on the engine," he says.
