1966 Pontiac GTO "Monkeemobile"
Type: Automobiles
Model: 1966 Pontiac GTO
Owner: twogoats
Real Name: Ken S
Location: Concord, US.
I first spotted the Monkeemobile in '86 at the Dallas Autorama. 20 years later I ran into it again at the Elk Grove High School car show in Elk Grove, CA. This is #2 of 2 cars that were originally created by Dean Jeffries out of '66 GTO convertibles for use on The Monkees TV show.
It's currently owned by George Barris and will be restored for SEMA in the fall. It's just so goofy looking, how can you not love it?

Ahahahaha, that is great! Hey Hey we're the monekeeeeys!
George Barris' son is a member of our sister car club in SoCal. He took this to our car meet a couple of years ago. Pontiacs Rule!! Nothing like a little Tiger under the hood.
I just talked to a friend of mine who was doing some resto work on the car. He says it's just about ready to go to SEMA this year and said it looks gorgeous. I can't wait to check it out. When I saw it, it definitely looked 40 years old.
