The Monkeemobile is a modified Pontiac GTO that was designed and built by designer Dean Jeffries for The Monkees, a pop-rock band and television program. The car features a tilted forward split two-piece windshield, a touring car convertible top, modified rear quarter panels and front fenders, exaggerated tail lamps, set of four bucket seats and an extra third row bench where there was originally a trunk, a rear-mounted parachute and a GTO emblem on the front grille. Two cars were contracted to be built: One as a main TV car, to be used on the television program, and one as a promotional show car, to tour hot rod and car shows around the United States. The first version originally sported a 6-71 supercharged engine, a solid mounted rear axle and extra rear end weight to enable the car to pop wheelies. The second car was used as a touring car for auto shows and promotional events. Both were used on The Monkees TV series, one during the first season and both throughout the second season.
