1/25 MPC Monkeemobile

[zak]

Something different from THUNDERBIRDS, but still TV/Film related.

Any ideas about the car owner(s)?

Is it a batmobile?

[zak]

No, but from the body shape, I see where you are coming from.

Perhaps a few more clues.
It was produced in 1967 and only 2 were made, one for the TV show and the other for promotional work.

[Bigkev]

Hmmmm.....

Some photos to tempt you into a guess.

How about Knightrider

Not the Flintstones.

Th initial coat of colour applied, this will be allowed to dry and then sanded and more coats will be added.

THIS SHOULD BE A REAL GIVEAWAY.

The car is based on a Pontiac GTO.

The kit instructions say that the car interior and roof should be tan, however looking on line, at the original they were white. Apparently under some studio lights and cameras they appeared tan.
The joys of research, what a minefield.
Later replicas may have had different colours but who knows.
The original car was left in Australia and then ended up in Puerto Rico, eventually purchased and refurbished, car 2 was bought by George Barris and a Tribute car and a further copy was also built.

Have you got it yet?
