"Hey hey were the Monkees. And people say we monkey around. But we're too busy singin'. To put anybody down".
Remember that show from the sixties and seventies, The Monkees? If you were kid growing up in the seventies (like me), how could not have seen this show? It seems like it was run, and re-run, 24-7. The Monkees were groovy and had the wheels to prove it... a custom 1967 Pontiac GTO. Well, here's your chance to cruise around town and pick up chicks in your very own Monkeemobile.
eBay user mnbats is the seller for this wonderful re-creation of the Monkeemobile from the TV show.
According to the eBay description, this "Monkeemobile Pontiac GTO built for the 45th anniversary band tour!

Custom Radiator cap, Belt cover, Gold flake 671 Blower, Correct Crager wheels, correct "french" headlights, removable soft top, and much much more. It's cars European "sister" touring car sold this past July in the UK for $127,000.00 usd. This is the finest running and driving example of this 60's cultural icon. Serious bidders only. NO RESERVE!"

I have a 68 Gto I no is extremely rare but I want to no if it's a 1 of 1. My car is as follows:
1968 Gto coupe
Starlight black with black interior
323 posi
Power drivers seat
Now the good stuff
H.o. Motor
400 a/t
Endura delete option
Full box frame
Heavy duty suspension
Trailer package
A/c
Column shift
Now I was told they only made 2100 68 gto's with the endura delete option. I was also told they made less than 1000 68's with the h.o and a/c. Now add in the box frame, heavy suspension and trailer package and I'm thinking it's got to be the only one. The car is all original and still has the original owners name on the title. Is there any person or company's that can tell me exactly how rare it is and what it's worth.
