The Monkeemobile Who Really Designed And Built It?

   The Monkeemobile Who Really
         Designed And Built It?
   This young man was stationed
in Germany.He was taught by
Von Dutch.He was painting Indy
cars for free.He called himself
The King of Stripers.He thought
being a dirty mechanic,was not 
for him.Instead he took up body
work,freelancing his work.He had
heard of King of Kustomizers who
was having custom cars built.His 
name was George Barris hiring 
the best men,but this young man
would  allow himself to be work in
Barris Kustoms.
   This man also knew this real
famous actor,in Rebel With Out A-
Cause named James Dean who was
real drinking buddies.
   James Dean wanted to build his
Porsche into a custom and had him
paint Lil B... On the rear.This man,
that was drinking buddies,did his
car for him,and built identical for
George Barris.This man was the
first chosen to build The Batmobile.
He had altered the fins,in the rear,
and made a nose,like you see in the
DC comics.He used a 1959 Cadillac,
but they wanted the car done sooner,
then his whole crew,working with him.
Who was this man who helped build,
first named the Silver Sapphire,but
was  changed ,because this hit song
of The Beach Boys Lil' Deuce Coupe?
This man was the one when turned
down for The Batmobile,asked to
build The Black Beauty for the show
Green Hornet.His design for the car,
was chosen,over Ed Newt  guitar type
buggy shaped buggy,for the wild band
The Monkees.His name, is well known,
who helped Carol Shelby,by having his
Shelby Cobra 289 sold to Ford Motor
Company.He painted,this Shelby Cobra
five different colors,so people would had
thought there were more cars.This trick
work.This man also built a bubble top car
that won the Engineering Award,and also
a trip to Germany.This man used the car
in Bikini Beach,and Doubled for Avalon,
as well as drove The Mantaray.This had
caused him to become a stunt man,as well
as designed cars,and build him.He built a
drag built for Michael Nesmith.Again who
was he?He was Dean Jeffries who also had
designed and built Mantaray II Kyote for 
Head.This was for The Monkees,a new
car to use,a gold custom styled new dune
buggy.
   The Mantaray  was made from 1953
Maserati Formula Indy car,after asking
his dad.The bubble top,is a real blown top
just like you blow up to make a bottle after
it is cooled.He then cut it to shape.The 
frame has ninty-nine tresses,under his 
welded aluminum body,he drew up,and 
was patented by Jeffries Styling Studio. 
   This man loved Mantaray II Kyote and
built many more.Some with bikini models.
   Mpc came out with two versions a exact
replica,used in Head The Monkees movie,
and also a wagon version,based off the car
used in the movie both designed by Jeffries. 
   He broke his back in The Blue Brothers
movie,jumping a garbage truck.He was very
afraid to have back surgery,because he had
knew a star,that had back surgery,then had
died.He used wire to straighten his back,with
a base to hold into place.His wife helped him.
He had many movie cars,including a van like
heavy vehicle with three smaller tires,around 
a bigger tire for Damnation Alley that would
actually could float in the water,like a ocean.
    He built a custom car for Davy Jones,he
called it a Ford GT Roadster.In 2007 he had
restored this car,and was offer $4,000,000.00
but turned it down.This car is worth more then
The #1 Batmobile.It is up to Jeffries son as to
keep the car,which I believe he will.
