[11/29/24: The next MONKEEMOBILE shipment is expected to become available on Monday, December 9, 2024. Thank you for your patience: sometimes that last train from Clarksville runs really slowly, especially when it has to cross the Pacific Ocean!]
OK, so the Monkees never played either Fillmore—so what? The band became a band, cut killer tunes and delivered clever lines, and as we all know, they cruised around in a pretty sweet ride, too. The Monkeemobile was one of the most desired custom cars of Sixties television.
Created by car customizer Dean Jeffries, the Monkeemobile began life as a 1966 Pontiac GTO before it was chopped, tweaked, and twisted! Its original design featured a huge 6-71 supercharger fitted to the exposed engine giving the car so much horsepower that the TV cast found it hard to control! Later, this setup was reduced to a mock supercharger mounted over the stock Pontiac engine.
Two Monkeemobiles were constructed — #1 was used on the TV show. #2 was built as a back-up car and stunt car if needed. Its main job would be the show car circuit of the 60s. Life-size stand-ups of all four Monkees traveled with the show car and were displayed along side the car.
What's the Texas connection?
That would be Dallas's own Michael Nesmith, the band's guitarist and one of the finest American songwriters—ever.
