Koellefornia Kid Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Did anyone consider to combine the body styling of Dean Jeffries´ Monkey Mobile with the classic roof lines of a ´67 GTO hardtop? I thought that might look cool, so I kitbashed AMT´s GTO and Monkey Mobile kits. I wanted it low down, with large diameter wheels and, in contrast to the fake one of the Monkey Mobile, with a functional blower. Everything beneath the beltline, front and rear is Monkey Mobile material, the interior tub, roof and half of the trunk section came from the GTO. Wheels are Pegasus Diablos. Thanks for looking, comments welcome Greetings from Germany
TooOld Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Very nicely done ! I know it's been done before but your version looks great in that blue !
Snake45 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Very, very cool! You are inspiring me to finally get started on my own custom Monkeemobile. Well done and model on!
RichCostello Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 That might be the best thing you can do with that turd of a GTO kit.
Old Nasty Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Beautifully done but I wouldn't want to try & park it.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Well done! And a nice color scheme.
Bucky Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I think it's very cool! Looks great in that blue color, too!
Oldcarfan27 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 That trunk is large enough for ALL the instruments, the stage amps and Mike's knitted hat! Nice job!
Sledsel Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I have never liked the Monkey Mobile....... but I do like that!!! Looks great!

Anglia105E Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Hi Oliver...... your Monkey Mobile / 1967 Pontiac GTO build looks very interesting, especially the colour and the proportions of the car. Nicely done, and it works! Mark...... Like you, I am particularly drawn to the Pontiacs of the late '60's and early '70's, and I did own a 1:1 car which was a 1968 Pontiac Parisienne, having right-hand drive from Canada, and 5.3 litre V8 engine, registration number FCK 33. Tried to find a kit in 1:24 or 1:25 scale that I could build recently, but none of the Bonneville kits seem to be suitable for a 2-door conversion and they are difficult to find on Ebay from here in UK. The Parisienne was a wonderful motor car and I was only 23 years of age at the time I owned it, and I am just approaching 65 years of age next month. David
Anglia105E Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Sorry, I did mean to say 4 - door conversion..... David
drodg Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 That looks great and actually I think looks better than the Monkee Mobile!
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 N8icely done. Great paint. Looks great with the roof.
