How about the Munster Koach, with 10 Hilborn style intake tubes... was it really a V10, or was that just for looks, too?
What kind of jet propulsion was in the Bat Mobile? I wonder how much thrust it had and what the top speed was...
...and what's with shifters sticking through the roof! Surely a shorter shifter would have been better for performance shifting!
Clearly just for looks ... C'mon Alex, not everything on a show car is functional.
the monkey mobile was a pontiac engine and the munsters coach had a ford cleavland motor"if it's too loud you're too old !!! "sigpic

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. Both cars would be built in the span of four weeks. The first version originally sported a 6-71 supercharged engine, a solid mounted rear axle (no springs) and extra rear end weight. This was to enable the car to "pop wheelies." Because the car had too much power and was difficult to drive, the original blower set up was removed and a dummy blower was fitted. The second car was used as a touring car for auto shows and promotional events. Both would be used on The Monkees TV series, one during the first season and both throughout the second season.[2]
Several notable differences between the two cars exist, such as the size of the door logo and the styling of the fan belt cover and blower lines, which can be used to tell the difference between the two cars. It should also be noted that there are numerous replicas created over the years, none of which were made by the original cars' creator, Dean Jeffries. Such replicas also have a number of distinctive visual differences unique to each car.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
