MonkeeMobile

- Built by Dean Jeffries.

- Two customized Pontiac GTO MonkeeMobiles were made and still exist.

- Jeffries added a tall split windshield, a third row of seats, large fender flares, exaggerated taillamps, a T-bucket convertible top, also a parachute.

- Both cars were made in one month.

- Each of the Monkees was given their own Pontiac GTO for their own use (real

model, not a MonkeeMobile).

- Only the first car was used on the show, the second was used for display.

- The car made its first appearance on "The Monkees" TV show in the "Monkee See,

Monkee Die" episode.

- The MonkeeMobile made didn't have the Monkees logo on the doors until the

"A Nice Place To Visit" episode.

- Kellogg's ran a contest reguarding the MonkeeMobile where the winner would receive a 1968 GTO and a guest appearence on "The Monkees" TV show.

- On "The Monkees," the car's license plate number was PER 450

- One was taken to Australia during their 1968 tour. Then it was mysteriously found in Puerto Rico and was auctioned in off in 1992 for $5,000 because only one person knew what it was!

- One of the cars appeared with Peter in the "She's Gotta Have It" episode of series, "Wings."

- MonkeeMobile number one was used in The Monkees' 1997 TV

special, "Hey Hey It's The Monkees."

- Many companies have made models and die-cast replicas of the MonkeeMobile such as Johnny Lightning and Corgi.

- MonkeeMobile number one is privately owned and rarely makes public appearances, while number two is sometimes found at classic car and nostalgia shows around the nation.
