It might have looked good on the drawing board, but it sure turned out to be one ugly rod when it actually rolled out of the shop. Frankly, I don't think it looked good on the drawing board. Dean Jeffries was hired to create two of these Monkeemobiles from Pontiac GTOs for the televisions show. One Monkeemobile was made to be used on the show and the other for the road as a promotional vehicle. Eventually, both were used on the show.
This car sold a lot of plastic models in it's day. A little further down the road, the model resurfaced as Fonzy's dream rod. I think the Fonz would've chosen differently, something really cool.
If I had my choice of one of Dean Jeffries' famous customs, I'd opt for The Green Hornet's Black Beauty. My second choice would be The Batmobile!
