As far as I know, this is how far Jack got with his Tumbler. It had to take a seat as he finished the bat couch and his many other bat projects.

srv10 had a great build until he got distracted by a paying gig refurbishing a different kind of small tank. Then he put it up for sale.

Did somebody ever buy it? Has it been completed? We want to know.

Big Wave Dave asked "can we add a backseat to the Tumbler?" The answer is Yes, just replace the center console with an engine and you're good.

Seen here with Batman4reals, the Tribute Rumbler is one of the most documented builds on CLTC.

The Parker Brothers in Florida built a Tumbler for the Gumball 3000 race.

Not sure if it ever actually raced, as I can only find articles about how it had to drop out of the race(s) due to mechanical and license plate issues.

Does anyone know if it ever raced? And what it's doing now?

I did read somewhere that the guys in Dubai that bought it had lawyers get in touch with the Parker Brothers due to quiet a few issues that there were on the Tumbler and that they never had sorted out.
But thats the last I heard, or read about it...
Will try find the article again...

This story is many years old, but u seem to recall contacting Marc Irvin of Marc’s creature shop as I though the Parker brothers has bought his chassis and finished it out for the race.


Turns out they just replicated what he had built after he declined selling his chassis to them.

This is the chassis I speak of.

So not sure if this was resolved or not..

Another amazing build is Marc Irvin's. His unfinished Tumbler that Shaggy spoke of sat for years until an enthusiast nicknamed Lambo Jesus paid him to finish it.

Having a very respectable retracting windscreen (as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p0aOdlrEb4&t=138s ) it can be seen cruising Scottsdale, AZ
