On "My Car Story" we're at the 30th Annual Indian Uprising All Pontiac Weekend @ the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake, IL on 8-6-21.
We're looking at the REAL Monkeemobile, A modified 1966 Pontiac GTO in Red Paint. The car comes with the factory 389 CI V8 engine, and an automatic transmission.
Originally built by Dean Jeffries in 1966, and today the car's being shared by Tony Rota of Log Cabin Auto Service. Tony shares the car was in Australia, then in Puerto Rico as a taxi, and then purchased more than 30 years ago and restored to what you see today. The goal is to keep the car as original to what was seen in the TV show as possible.
If you’re interested in seeing the car at the Cruising Tigers Pontiac Club car show, go to the website at cruisintigers....
Tony’s Auto Service is called Log Cabin Auto Service. It’s located at:
22 Jersey Ave.
Tenafly, NJ 07670
Phone # 1-201-567-6297

Tony’s Team that works on this car is:
1) Manager - Frank McKeary

ENJOY!

Thank you Lou
A fake blower? Fake pipes? What do I tell my sister? --who still has all their records? --and all the Beatles records? --and still won't sell them?
I wouldn't tell her ☺
Shhhhh, let's keep it between us :-)
Last train to Clarksville!…….TURN IT Up!!!
:-)
A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You...
Too much torque, for Peter Tork 😂 lmfao. As cool as Grandpas Dragula
:-)
Dean told me a story that the blower was real at first but it was gutted because Mike Nesmith had a heavy foot.
Hi, Lou! You and Tony say this is the real Monkeemobile...I say "I'm a believer!" LOL! Thanks for presenting this iconic vehicle to us and wishing you a Pleasant Valley Sunday!
Hi iswc27, Glad you're a "Believer". Good one! Wishing you a Pleasant Valley Sunday too :-) Lou
I can understand why some people question the authenticity of this particular car. Getting accurate information on the Monkeemobile isn't easy. This appears to be the one used on the opening credits of the television show but on TV it had no Monkees logo on the door. According to most of the research I've done Dean Jeffries built 2 Monkeemobiles. One for the show and one for promotions. I found a picture of dean Jeffries and a Monkeemobile, possibly the promotional car but the Monkees logo was different.
@@ocalagator2813 the logo on this car is different because the owner didn't have permission to use the original one. This is the original #1 car used in the show for all the important shots.
Good Golly Molly - I was 10 then ...
:-)
I had a Matchbox one when l was a child
Cool :-)
That's a real blast from the past Lou. I fondly remember watching the Monkees on TV when I was a kid. Nice memories indeed. Tony is a real steward of that vehicle and glad someone like him is around to keep it in good working order. Thanks for bringing this unusual segment to your viewing audience, Lou. Have a great weekend.
Hi Kevin, Happy to read this car brings back fun memories :-) You're welcome, and wishing you a great weekend too, Lou
"fun fun time..." is right. This made me the happiest i've been so far this month.
Loved the show as a kid (9 in '66) and had the model of this car (AMT or Monogram,,,hmmm...)
This was great, Lou. Thanx for kicking off my weekend right !
Hi Glen, Happy to read this car kicks off your weekend right :-) You're welcome, Lou
Looks like headlights are off of a Citroen Ami 6 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Ami#/media/File:Ami_(6066400260).jpg
Hi Lee Harvey Oswald, Thank you for your research, Lou
Years ago when I was a kid, I'm 71 now I worked at a Sunoco gas station on interstate 70 in Washington Co. Pa. I was working the gas pumps and a truck pulling a trailer pulled in. Inside the trailer was the "Monkeymobile". I was allowed to see it up close and personal. It was a high school kid's dream come true. A couple of years later I had my own "66" Goat.
Hi John, Happy to read that experience motivated you to get your 66 GTO :-) Lou
@@loucostabile Actually, I was so crazy about the GTO'S that when I was in high school they called me "GTO John". That's actually true. I would have loved to have it to this day but unfortunately I couldn't feed it and a family and pay rent too. But I've had a couple of nice cars since. I have a "63" Falcon Futura sport Convertible in an upholstery shop in Southern California right now and I hope to bring it home in the near future. 👍
Loved my 67
Awesome 😎 Did you happen to have a factory fm radio with a 'reverb' switch to make it sound like it was in stereo? A friend of mine had a (bronze or tan maybe) '66 GTO and it had that and I have never seen it in any other car. Ever. That's why I was asking. What was a cool option.
@@rustytime Yes I did have a reverb in my 64 Plymouth sport fury. Use to listen to Beaker Street out of Little Rock Arkansas late at night. Good times
THat car is SWEET!
:-)
I always wanted to see this car close up, I do have a 1:64 model of it, cool car, thanks.
Hi colin's diecast 1:64 customs, I always wanted to see this car close up too. So happy to share this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
I live in the Uk and I have always loved American muscle cars, although I like classic British cars a close second. I really appreciate being able to see the cars you show on your channel, as there are very few American cars around my part of the UK.
Such a great car!! I watched the show as a kid, and have the DVD box sets! Its funny, in a interview, Mike Nesmith was dumbfounded that Dean Jeffries was mentioned in the shows credits. "It just a car...?"🎸😎👍
Hi zuke1224, Happy to read this video brings back fun memories as a kid, Lou
When i was a kid, i would wait for the end credits to see Dean Jefferies name- 16 years later i went to work for him.
@@johngrepo9976 OUTSTANDING!!! Congratulation on scoring such a great opportunity!!
Now I have to drag out my 35 mm pictures of the Monkeemobile that I saw in the early 80's, I seem to remember it with a white top and interior. Also the Dragula, Munstermobile, there also.
I had a Montero Red/black vinyl top 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix with that 389 (4bbl, 325hp 429ft lbs torque) Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. The grille of the Grand Prix had more angular rake to it than the stock '66 GTO, more like the Monkeymobile, but not that exaggerated!
Hi zulumax1, The other car does have a white top & interior. Thanks for viewing and sharing you had a nice 1966 Grand Prix, sounds like a fun car, Lou
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Nice :-)
This is great Lou! I never saw a detailed video on this car before. Almost as cool as the original bat mobile!
Hi Agostino, I so wanted to know more about the car. So pleased to be able to video and share this car with you, Lou
LOTS OF GRURR IN THAT TIGER
Just the way we like it :-)
In the wagons of my youth, we called the rear most seating the "back-back". Oh, what I'd have given to ride in the back-back of the Monkeemobile!

I didn't know what it was at first. I thought it was the Flintstones car. I never knew about the Monkees.
Hi Garrison, I understand, not everyone is old enough to remember this car. Lou
HeyHey Lou《☆》Best story on the Monkey Mobile I've seen. Quite a history being a Taxi in Puerto Rico👍😎◇¿.🌴◇:*:◇🌴Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend😎🎱☮🔊🖖👍
Hi BDOG JR, High praise on this review on this car :-) Glad you enjoy this video my Friend, Lou
Really enjoyed getting a close up tour (and a ride!) in this classic custom; been a fan since I was a kid. I got a chance to chat with Dean Jeffries at the 2010 Detroit Autorama while standing next to the Monkeemobile with the white interior. It was a fascinating and very frank conversation. Dean was not a fan of George Barris at all, and he had good reasons. RIP Dean; you were and still are a legend. Thanks to Tony Rota for caring for the original, and thanks to you, Lou, for sharing this with us.
Hi goatflieg, Happy to video and share the car with you.

Hi Rick, You're welcome, Lou
In the mid 70s a guy in my high school, had a 66 GTO convertible, not the original motor, but a 455- 6 pack, and 4 speed ,burgundy white interior.
Hi Robert, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the Guy in High Schools car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I saw this GTO at a car show when I was a kid. The two cars from the Munsters tv show and the original Batmobile were also there. Mind blowing stuff when your 13 or 14 yes old.

Super cool!!! I used to watch this show in re-runs and I have several of their albums!!! What a fantastic creation of a car!!! Lots of shows back then had a custom car to represent the show, too bad we don't really see that anymore. Fun car for "Fun Friday"!!!
High praise :-) Happy to read this car brings back memories!
Always my favorite custom TV car. Batmobile and green hornets 66 Chrysler Imperial Black beauty were also great cars but I loved the Monkey mobile best. I owned a 67 GTO. Loved it
Hi Edward, Happy to read this one is your favorite :-) Lou
Dean Jefferies also built the green hornets car
when I was a kid, I never give much for the Monkees music or the show, but I waited a bit on the TV just to see the Monkeemobile!!! how in the world did you find that car Lou?
Hi Pablo, I was the same way when I watched the Monkees...lets see the car! :-) See he description of this video, however the Pontiac Car Show Promoter is a Friend, and knew I'd like to video this car for the Viewers. Feel very fortunate to be able to share this car with you, Lou
Okay so who's going to be the first one to figure out which "French vehicle" those headlights are from?
Hi JackF, That is a good question. I have no idea, Lou
Citroen or Peugeot i think..
When I was teenager (way back back in 1973) I moved to Hollywood, CA and started working with my father who was building custom cars for George Barris and the Monkeemobile was one of the cars we had there. I was pretty excited to see it but flat out stunned when I found out that "Supercharger" was fake! Good to see it's still being cared for and looking so good. Among the "Show Cars" we had there it was one of the better crafted cars, and one of the few that was a running car.

🌴🐈🐈🐈🌴🏴☠️
:-)
Cool! Glad it's still around in good shape.
I always thought it was hilarious that the Monkees were supposed to be a struggling group of impoverished musicians but they had a super duper Barris custom car for which the special parts alone cost like a whole other car or three.

Good times, good times :-)
WOW Lou what a treat from my childhood I watched the show as a kid
Hi Clark, Happy to read this car brings back fun memories :-) Lou
Have always been a monkee and still am. This car got me hooked on GTO's. Have a 69 judge which looks alot this car atleast in the front. I prefer the one with the white interior, but they are both great.
Hi John W, Nice car :-) Lou
Thanks for another one of your excellent car videos Lou and for all the memories of watching the Monkee's on TV and the Monkeemobile too!
Hi JackFlemingFan, Happy to bring back fun memories with this car :-) You're welcome, Lou

Hi Anthony, Happy to read you enjoy this one :-) I'll do my best to keep them coming, Lou
Lou, we were both grinning like village idiots! Hey! Hey!
Yes we are :-)
Incredible car 😳 Was is a die cast car ??
Hi colonelparcoeur, Happy to read you enjoy this one. Not sure, but I'd they have one :-) Lou
@@loucostabile THX for reply Hi from France I love your channel
No WAY!! */w\METAL/w\*
WAY !
I was born in 1966, but became a Monkees fan after watching the show in syndication in the early to mid 70s, and the Monkeemobile made an impression on me from the minute that I saw it. My father owned a 1969 GTO Convertible and I have been a fan of those cars ever since. Thanks Lou and Tony for giving this tour of a piece of TV history.

I kept hearing the song “Little GTO” by Ronnie and the Daytonas playing in my head watching this video. I also kept hearing “I’m a Believer”. Pontiac should have purchased the right to make tje Monkee Mobile like they did with the Judge. I bet they would have sold like hot cakes. Very cool video Lou.
Hi Randy, Good tunes, and good memories :-) Lou
Here we come, walkin down the street, get the funniest looks from everyone we meet..
HEY HEY WE'RE THE MONKAYS!!😂😂😂
Damn that makes me feel old🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SaltyNationalist Hey... My sister had their albums! And, she will only be ummm... 68 next month. Whoa... I know how you feel!!!
@@billyjoejimbob56
Lol... I'm actually only 52, but my late brother got me into listening to them and watching the show..🤣🤣
Every day after school, he'd be glued to the tv🤣🤣
Love it! A ride in that would leave me with a day-long smile on my face 😁
Hi kimosabbe50, Happy to read you "Love it!" :-) Lou
WOW what a memory, watched them every week
Hi Tim, Happy to read this car brought back memories :-) Lou
Well, that was a special treat! Nice video Lou, thanks!

This is awesome
Thanks lou

Thanks for sharing the details you noticed :-)
COOL COOL COOL
Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy this "COOL x 3" car :-) Lou
I I I I I'm Not Your Stepping Stone! I just loved the opening to the show just to see the car!
Nice :-)
Awesome! Regarding this Hollywood Hop Up GTO. It looks like MoPar coming at ya, looking at that fabulous back end. On a glance following this car down the road, one may think a Dodge Road Runner or Charger is coming at ya. I think you should put the feelers out for a Batman Hopped up edition

The car wasn't featured on the show much expect for the opening credits. I always wondered if the top was removeable?
Hi dflf, So glad to finally see more of the car :-) Lou
Ultra rare, and so ultra cool! Thanks- you so much Tony & Lou for the tour of this very unique car! Love the Tv show too btw!
Hi Floyd T, Happy to read you appreciate this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great video as usual! The headlights and bezels are very likely those of a Citroën Ami 6.
Thank you for the kind words on the video. Thank you for sharing what car you think they are from.
It's funny how when I saw the lunch box I could smell the many baloney, mock chicken and cheese sandwiches I had going to school.
Hi blthetube1, Ahhh the baloney in the lunch box at my favorite time in school.....lunch :-) Lou
Wow, what a great find!
Like yourself and other commenters, I mostly watched the Monkees to see the car.
Which has got me thinking - on TV in the past some cars were almost characters (Monkeemobile, Munsters car, Rockford’s Firebird, Starsky’s Gran Torino, KITT, Miami Vice “Testarossa”, General Lee, Batmobile etc).
That’s not really the case any more.
Thanks for bringing this piece of history to us. Very interesting car and a neat build.
Hi Jeff, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) Hmmm, only one missing from your list is 1) Starsky's Torino & 2) Testarossa from Miami Vice, all other here, Lou
@@loucostabile Yes- I should have pointed that out! The channel has a great selection of icons.
My brother had 1965/66 Lemans/GTO Combination automobile of the same color. He street dragged it at 150 MPHs. He claims that he never lost. The car ran very hot though and wasn't too practical!
Hi Jed, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Brothers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Hi Lou, thank you for the great video! Wow, wow, wow! What is a spectacular car with a lot of personalities and such a unique car that I don't see on the roads! Of course, because it's only 2 of them in the world! I LOVE IT. Who was the original owner?
HI Aelita, Wow x 3 = Winner :-) No idea who owns this car now. My pleasure sharing this car with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Wow Lou what a awesome treat that had to be for you being there with it and us getting to see it. That sure was fun and a great tour of this iconic unit. I remember the show and remember the car. What a treat to be the original one too that even makes it better. I sure loved that ride along boy that was fun. Just a outstanding treat Lou! I really had a good time and as always thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Steve. Happy to share this tour of this special car with you. Glad to read you had a good time on the ride like I did :-) You're welcome, Lou
"Too much torque for Peter Tork" - hahaha.
Lots of views on this one, can you say special car?
Right on, Lou!
Special car for sure :-)
Hey hey we're the Monkeys! woohoo- fun times! Great car- crazy how tall the roof was!! Has to be a fun car to take to shows, if you brought security to keep the kids from touching it. Course all the kids that know the show are almost retired now- ha! Thx for that blast from the past Lou!

Hi Magic Chandelier, My pleasure sharing this car with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
👍” Too much torque for Peter Tork”😂
Those cars had lead metal working down to perfection back then! My father in law still talks about it being a lost art in body repair. Hard to do with all the plastic nowadays, huh?! Nice video Sir Lou. Thx.

No way! Get outta town! You can see the reaction of people as you dive past, one guy even applauds. After all these years, people still know what the Monkee Mobile is! Thanks for preserving it, and thanks to you for posting. Don't take the last train to Clarksville if you can drive there in style!

I was 7yo in 66.
I was sitting here thinking I remembered it being like a metal blue color? Then it suddenly dawned on me -- we didn't have a color TV yet! Not until 1969. Oh well.
Hi Bruce, THAT IS AWESOME! Thank you! Lou
Imagine, driving home from getting your COVID-19 shot and seeing that in your rear view mirror...
Seeing this anytime in your rear view mirror is a good day :-)
Hey Lou; why don’t you make sure the sound is right as we couldn’t hear what he was saying. Plus one more thing. Instead of you doing all the yakkin with your interviews, why don’t you let them speak and describe the vehicle instead of you. Just a thought!
Hey Kevin, Thanks for the "Just a thought!" So I went to your Channel since you're a Expert Critic on my Channel and I see you have two videos on your Channel with 7 total views, and this video has over 220,000+ views so I'll keep my style :-) Stay well, Lou
Wow, truly iconic cruiser. Yea I had the model & watched the episodes, always thought Barris was original builder.....I love the simplicity of this car, no windows, 3rd row seat, no handles...If I made one I'd surely use a real blower dual quads & a 4speed....389 was a good motor.

Do you by chance still have the model car?
And then MPC in the 70's turned the Monkeemobile kit into "Fonzie's Dream Rod!"
Cool to see it, I know when they designed it they were disappointed. They sure turned the gto into a strange wacky looking car. I have a 69 gto that I've owned for 30 years and know quite a bit about Pontiac. An iconic car for sure! Thanks for sharing.

A car, thats exaggerated in all the right ways. A great way of putting it !!!! Takes me back as a kid. The Munsters car, the bat mobile, the green hornet and the orange drink tang and of course,, the Monkees, the Archie's and the cardboard records behind the cereal boxes, lunch boxes of the TV shows, H.R. puff 'n'' stuff, Adam 12, I just couldn't wait to see the cars in the background. Seem people were just more innovated back in the day. Too bad. We were so Damm poor. I couldn't enjoy but only watch..boo hoo hoo...l.o
.l but the memories, will always be priceless in my mind. THANK YOU, for displaying this car! I always thought this was made out of fiberglass...

Great video, Lou. It’s one, if not THE MOST memorable TV & Movie cars from my childhood. The original George Barris Batmobile, Dean Jeffries’ Green Hornet “Black Beauty,” of course The Munsters’ Munster Koach and Grandpa’ Drag-U-La Coffin dragster, James Bond’s gadget-filled Aston Martin, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’s Piranha...such iconic cars that people still idolize to this day. Yeah, I had the lunchboxes, the Corgi toys, the model kits...all that stuff. But having the chance to sit in one and even take a ride in one must’ve been a dream come true!
Thanks so much for bringing us something truly iconic.

@@loucostabile ... I just recently discovered your channel. RUclips has A TON of classic car channels. I guess your channel finally hit my algorithms...
Thanks for the great content. I’ll definitely subscribe and check it all out...✌🏼
Lou, as far as classic cars are concerned, you got to be one of the happiest guys around! One of your best videos in my book! Thanks for sharing with us an iconic car you don’t see around much anymore.
HI Dave, High praise on this video :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
