Ten Monkeemobiles?

     
          

               Ten Monkeemobiles?

         There are ten Monkeemobiles?

 Only two, were used in The Monkees;

 which were designed, built and painted

 by King of Stripers, Dean Jeffries.

          George Barris main engineer; had 

Dick Dean help Jeffries, build both cars

in George Barris shop. 

          Dean Jeffries also, designed, both 

Black Beauties; for Green Hornet. So 

Dick Dean, also helped him; build both

cars again; in George Barris shop.

         After buying #2 Monkeemobile in

1972; the #3 Monkeemobile built by

Dick Dean; without approval; from Dean

 Jeffries; was not a 1966 Pontiac GTO;

 but a 1966 Pontiac Catalina. 

     

    Since this writing two different people,

 Peter and Mark, were sighted as making a .                                                                                                  #3 Monkeemobile, but that would make it #4,.                                                                                               yet it's called #3 Monkeemobile, yet, in 1992,

 not 1972, made after 1966 Pontiac Catalina,

 made, into 1966 Pontiac GTO by Dick Dean.                                                                                              for George Barris needed for car shows.

e early nineties, a judge ruled a 

  decision; that whoever owns the car; also

  owns the copyrights. This ruined a right;

   to Dean Jeffries designs, which is why; 

 took off Jeffries name; and put Barris on 

 everything.

      The Monkeemobile #4; was built by

     Dick Dean too.

      George Barris commission #4; to be built

 for AMT, so a Monkeemobile; would be 

released to the public in 2001. The way, they

could have The Monkeemobile; and put it 

on their hobby shelves; for display.

      The Monkeemobile #4; had thin redlines

and thinner Cragar SS Diamond Spoke Mags,

and regular fifteens in the rear. This was the

fourth Monkeemobile and it also had yellow 

orange between the headlights, and taillight

shells. This was also a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 

which sold to a man in Florida, through 

Mecum Auctions. 

         The fifth Monkeemobile designed by 

Dean Jeffries, but  using a 1967 Pontiac GTO,

designed for The Monkees Forty-Fifth

 Anniversary Tour. It sold on eBay for 
      $66,000. It was later sold; again on

Atta Buy for $66,000

         Also many think The Monkeemobile 

#2 sold for $500,000. The Altered #2 car;

The Monkeemobile at Barrett-Jackson sold 

for $360,000 to a comedian in Michigan. It was

auctioned again in 2017. Then re-painted red; 

with wider rear tires; and gold Monkee logos. 

But still had; a white interior; as before.  

  

         A #6 Monkee-mobile, had a huge 

working blower, two carburetors, and  

a competition scoop. The back is longer,

It appears the taillights are different. 

He wanted over a $100,000 for the #6 car,

It even has; the wrong seat design; even

though, they are newly upholstered. 

The Cooper tires bulging, and

it uses American Torque Thrust Mags.

It does have the gold Monkees

logo on the doors, but it's car's Pontiac. 

bucket seats, look stock. They do not look 

like Jeffries.

        I now found a seventh Monkeemobile, it is done.

from the view of George Barris, with yellowed front

grill, and oval light rings, but the lights in the front,

look like there painted red. The blower is grey in 

color, which three injector scoop does not look exactly

like The Monkeemobiles scoop. The glass type mirrors

are tinted yellow. The interior does look tan with the 

correct style as Dean Jeffries Monkeemobiles were. It

has good Cragar SS Diamond Spoked Mags and good.

tires to match. 

      Someone ruined the front mags and switch tires.

         Since this article was written; there is a eighth 

Monkeemobile. A buck was pulled; from one the first 

two Monkeemobiles; made by Dean Jeffries. He sold 

both this buck mold; to Mr. Sharp along; with a 350 

CID: that he bought; from Dean Jeffries. It has the

 original dashboard; and dashboard pieces; from the 

#2 car. It has #2 Monkeemobile's Cragar SS mags; 

with three-prong knockoffs; with Cragar on it. This

car rests: on a 1965 Malibu chassis and won many

awards. However, the body is and original Pontiac

GTO from 1966. That 350 CID engine; has all the

 megaphones pipes; hooked from the back; so, it makes;

 beautiful; throaty purring sound, when you rev up; 

 the engine. It's the most realistic; of all the cool 

  Monkeemobiles out there. It won many trophies and 

 was sold twice for $60,000.00.

          Mr. Sharp had built it the way Dean Jeffries did.

  No stupid computers that ruin the #2 Monkeemobile. 

Someone out there is enjoying the most original looking

Monkeemobile the way Dean Jeffries designed it. The 

famous tan interior, and top the gold blower, cool hood 

ornament and three injector Enderle scoop.  As well as 

yellow parachute. The Monkees banners Dean Jeffries

 created.

          On Facebook I found Eric's friend made a #10 car

of The Monkeemobile;  It's the only one in Australia. It

is called the Aussie Monkeemobile; which is the only,

right-handed; Monkeemobile in the world; built by

Paul Andrew, which been allowed to use. Both Peter Tork 

and Micky Dolenz were in this car in 2016; when they

toured Australia; for The Monkees Good Times 50th

Anniversary Tour.

 

          

          But could there be a #11 Monkee Mobile? Bill Mumy

showed on Facebook; with his Monkee Mobile; in light tan;

with proper Dean Jeffries Monkees banners. Until, I find 

out the full story; I will leave at ten Monkee Mobiles.

           The man who owns #1 Monkeemobile is selfish. 

The car is built wrong. Have you seen; the stupid right 

m0NKEES logo? He doesn't know; you reverse the logos.

from left to right. If you know how to get a hold of him.

I have pictures; of correct Monkees banners; for the

 doors. This change was done when bought the car.

 You must see this stupidity for yourself.

(Pictures: Monkeemobile: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 18,19, 21, 27, 30

 are Monkeemobile #1.

 Monkeemobile:7, 10, 11, 12, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 are the

#2 Monkeemobile.

              Not all Monkeemobiles; were original GTO's.

 This is a 1966 Pontiac Catalina made into GTO without;

 Dean Jeffries permission. The fake; is in dark brown leather;

 if you see it auctioned off; saying it's; real GTO; it isn't.

 It's in picture 15.(#3Monkeemobile built 1972 from a 1966)

 (Catalina to GTO Monkeemobile.)

              In 1993 a judge in Los Angeles ruled; that whoever owns

 the car; owns the copyrights. This made it legal;

for George Barris, to remove Dean Jeffries copyrights. So, by

1999; George Barris; had Dick Dean; built another car; for the

AMT model of The Monkeemobile. This #5 car in picture 17.

This explains why ERTL had redlines; painted on the 1970's 

Dodge van tires. As you can see; it has skinny redlines; like used

on funny cars in the front. While the back had regular stock 15" 

redline tires.

              Here's the secret; why they were missing since 1979; 

MPC; took out of The Monkee Mobile model; and put them in;

More of American Graffiti John Milner Coupe. Yes, that small

little box was $4.24 on Albertsons back 1979 in North Highlands.

In 1990; I paid a guy $200.00 for original Monkee Mobile model;

which the model was made from the second Monkee Mobile; not

#1 Monkeemobile; since it was used in the second season.

              Also having the original Monkeemobile; made from a 

1966; not a 1967 GTO; I examined the tires from three models;

and found this out: The Fonzie's Dream Rod, the original model

of The Monkeemobile; and Yellow Deuce Coupe; from the second

movie; More American Graffiti John Milners Coupe by Mpc; had

the exact tires. AMT/ERTL  Blueprinter; and the reissued 2001

American Graffiti Yellow Deuce Coupe; all have the tires for the

model of The Monkeemobile. (November 2022 Round 2 MPC, gave)

(us blue pinstripe Cobra Bluestreak tires; with white raised letters.) 

(Also, with Micky Dolenz as the surving Monkee. Rhino put back on;)

(The Monkees behind the Monkeemobile.)

Then Monkeemobile MPC with The Monkees beyond; or flowers

behind The Monkees; since Rhino Entertainment owns  copyrights

to The Monkees. I don't know how many slip through; before Rhino

said no Monkees behind The Monkees. However; my pictures were

retouched by myself. I sold by the original More American Graffiti

John Milner's Yellow Deuce Coupe and Original Monkee Mobile car

model to my brother in Georgia. The Monkee Mobile was copyrighted.

1967 by MPC; and Davy Jones; joined Dean Jeffries; at MPC plant

for this wild model. If anyone of you have Auto World in the 1980's;

go through all the models; and see if you can find; Davy Jones visiting,

MPC model plant. Snap if you find it and blow it up.

   

               Next, we are at #6; which a special Monkee Mobile made a

special time. The year was 2011; one year before this, Micky Dolenz;

and Peter Tork were involved with a project; in which some of you

were involved with; in singing or playing musical instruments, along,

 Micky and Peter; so the end result was Micky Dolenz got a solo 

album; but Peter Tork; got nothing out of it. The Songs of  Carol King

was Micky's solo album in 2010.

              Now, they used a 1967 Pontiac GTO; while asking Dean Jeffries;

instructions; and making like the number two car. They had special gold

logos; for The Monkees 45th Anniversary Evening With The Monkees

Tour. The parachute was black; The Monkees 50th Anniversary; when

it was pulled. When even was done it sold for $66,000 on eBay. Then on

Atta Buy; for $66,000. This is picture 16.

              This #7 Monkee Mobile is far from Dean Jeffries; designed; the

tires from Cooper bulge out like eyeballs. The mags are not Cragar SS

mags; but American Tor-Q-Thrust II's. The interior is horizonal stock 

pattern. The French highlights are missing; instead; he cut rectangular

squares for the headlights to fit through. He chose a big block blown 

engine; with two carburetors on a competition scoop. He also wanted;

you pay over $100,000. for this car. Talk about being stupid!  

Pictures 13, 14; my Royal Flush; Stupidity Award! It's too long in the front!

              This #9 Monkee Mobile; will grab you.   This 1965 Malibu 

chassis; with a 1966 Pontiac GTO body on top. This a real winner; my

friends. Mr. Sharp, bought a buck; taken from one' of the first two cars;

that Dean Jeffries made. He also bought a 350 CID engine also from

Dean Jeffries. It's also wearing both the Cragar SS from #2 car; as well

as the light tan dashboard pieces from #2 Monkee Mobile. But there's

much more, Mr. Sharp hooked all four megaphone pipes on each side; to

give you throaty; purring sound, when you rev up the engine. 

Pictures are before theme; then 9, 28, 29

              I was told by Eric; his friend made this; in Australia; Eric his

friend used fiberglass; he did mention USA; but the problem is the

front; is too perfect; and George Barris; sold off the French headlights,

no later 2008. This both. I do know Mr. Sharp's #9 Monkee Mobile was.

for sale by him for $60,000; after winning; many trophies it was sold; then,

sold again; for $60,000. 

    

       Compare #8 Monkee-mobile to #1 and see how very

realistic #8 looks compare to #1. While I admit #8 scoop

is just a little different; the body made from Dean Jeffries

buck from one of the two cars is very realistic. At that

time there was no logos on the car; but now they have 

them. This dashboard and parts that were in the #2 car 

but are in the #9 car, because George Barris had those

computer videos installed in #2 Monkee-mobile. I have the

picture of #9 with Mr. Sharp's trophies in another area. 

When I find that file; I'll it to these pictures.

    Now look below at #1 car; how stupid can you be having

m0NKEES logo backward on the right side. I purposely

have Extra large to see the frets were added on the "m" 

instead of the "S."

                                             #10 Monkee Mobile Aussie Monkee Mobile

                                             World's Only Right-Hand Steering Car!

        If you want a realistic Monkeemobile, go to this cool site:
   www.gothamgarage.net Build a real Monkee mobile, not some
   clone! They have already built Munster Koaches, Batmobiles, 
   from the tv series. They also can make you a Bat boat, Batman
   Forever car, and much more. Every car is professionally built out
   of steel. Include The Mach 5 and new site comes 02/2021.
       Do not monkey around, if you want a real Monkeemobile!.
       This is the number #1 Monkeemobile.It is the only car with a

   yellow blower, and a blacked-out scoop. It also has no Monkee logo
   on the doors. Why might you asked? In the pilot #14 of the show:
   Here Comes The Monkees, the logo was not made yet. In fact, some 
   the first episodes in season one, you will just see; rectangular. 
   colored guitar; on Micky's large drum.
       Actually' I consulted a professional photographer in Oakland, at
   the Sacramento Auto-rama, and he showed pictures of the show car,
   The Monkeemobile #1, where it originally, had GTO on the grill. But 
   later these were removed.  The car's original color; was Code Name:
   Lip Stick Red; copyrighted by Dean Jeffries; Auto Stylist Designer.
   There were originally light tan pin striping going from the front

   fender to the rear of the car. It also originally had Good Year Wide

   Oval angled sidewalls, with blue tires on the front; and then blue

   lines tires to the rear.
      However, the color was changed to a burgundy color. That is why. 
   some pictures are red, and others are burgundy.
       In 1991, Mr. Norris, because he spoke Spanish; bought the #1 car
   for $5000; in an auction; in Puerto Rico. He wanted to give a phone

   bid of $500 for the car. I do not think; this was fair! The real cool

   designer: Dean Jeffries, was trying to buy this car back! Mr. Norris,
   took advantage of; Dean Jeffries Design! There is no mention; on the
   Man in charge; of the auction; in Puerto Rico, ever checking; for the

   Real Designer! Mr. Norris, asked for the description, and Greed, took

   root! He knew he had treasure; and paid $5000; to receive the car. 

   Mr. Norris, never, returned the car, to its restoration form. The tires

   are too tall, in the front. He never; put wide ovals; back on the car. 

   They welded the rear axle; to stock height, instead of keeping like it 

   was. The yellow logo   of The Monkees is wrong. It should have a big

   gold, The Monkees on the doors. The tires in the rear; are the wrong 

  size too. Now about three years ago Mr. Norris; had the right logo  of

  m0NKEES backwards. This stupidity to the highest degree.

 The Monkee-mobile number #1 for auction in
 Port Rico. 

This car has a yellow blower and a blacked out scoop.
The car everyone is raving about is the number two car
that Micky, Davy autographed under the hood after
George Barris had altered restyled in Sacramento, and
sold for $360,000 at Barret-Jackson. It has a gold blower
and red baffles on it before, the restoration. After the
restoration it had chrome baffles in the scoop, computer
audio system, with Monkees logo woofers, that had to be

charged. The number two car below #2 was now in
white upholstery, with black painted underneath the
top with chrome bars going across. It only has three
header design, instead of the four it had originally.
