Monkeemobile Tribute Car Built by Dean Jeffries 45th Anniversary Tour, Signed by 3 Monkees
I am pleased to offer this incredible Monkeemobile tribute car. This is not a clone or a recreation but a tribute car since it was built for the 45th anniversary of The Monkees TV show and was built under the supervision of the original designer Dean Jeffries. The details and dimensions are right on and the car is signed by 3 of The Monkees (Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Mickey Dolenz). VIN # is 242177P303783 and mileage shows 11,663 (unsure of exact mileage). This vehicle is only one of three that the original designer/builder Dean Jeffries was involved with before he passed away. This beauty was built by Dakota Customs and documented on Speed Channel. Dean supervised the build to keep it as accurate as the two originals. Own an American icon of 60's era television and pop culture... This incredible car was built based on a 1967 GTO with 4 speed manual trans. No automatics here. An appraisal was produced in 2012 showing the value at $130,000. I imagine that the valuation has gone up since them. Below is a list of repairs, updates and customizations that the owner has done since purchasing the Monkeemobile in 2013:
- In late 2013, we had a car cover made by a custom upholsterer, $450, in case it rains at an outdoor show. We store it covered in the garage. A mechanic sat in the front seat with a screwdriver, so we had the front seat re-vinyled, $230.
- In 2014, we had the front end, suspension, and shocks replaced. It included a new steering box, ball joints, coil springs, tie rods, sway arm bushings, and new suspension. He also did an alignment, and balanced the tires. $2500
- In late 2014, we had the fiberglass body and paint touched up, and the engine, undercarriage and frame professionally detailed by a hot rod builder/customizer in Daytona beach. He painted, wet sanded and buffed any cosmetic paint dings, fiberglass hairline stress cracks, and any parts of the engine and compartment that need repainting were re-done. He professionally cleaned the white convertible top. $1000.
- In 2015, we sent the engine blower out to a chrome specialist in Miami and had the blower cover re-chromed, $550.
- In 2016, we replaced the coolant system ($460) and the oil pan/gasket/rear main seal ($890). In addition to the regular oil change, they removed and replaced the fluids, transmission, and bellhousing, removed and replaced the radiator with a Griffin Pro Series radiator, new coolant, radiator cap and coolant jug. We also checked the spark plugs, and replaced the fuel sending unit. It needs a new speedometer cable, about $75. - In 2017, we replaced the carburetor with a Holly 4-barrel Supercharger carb from Summit Racing. Can't find the receipt for that at the moment. It was around $600-800.
- Not including the regular oil changes and professional detailing, total updates/repairs are over $6,700.
The car is in great condition and is ready to be shown and/or enjoyed. Imagine the looks that you're going to get driving around in this classic. The major auction houses would love to get their hands on this beauty but it's available only here. Best of all, no 10% buyer's commission needed to purchase. Contact me with any questions.
