Seventy hysterical episodes of THE MUNSTERS were produced. But the show was canceled after ratings had dropped to a series low in the face of competition... which was ABC's BATMAN. Yes, Batman was to blame, but The Munsters found a large audience in syndication over the next 50 years and cemented itself into Pop Culture History. And today, Fireball launches some new items IN THE GARAGE to keep that dark and creepy ball rollin!' Our Favorite character?? SPOT.
The MUNSTER KOACH was made from 3 Model T bodies by George and is 18 feet long. It's currently in the possession of the Barris Estate in Oxnard.
The 133" frame was hand-made, has a four speed manual transmission and a power rear end. 350HP, 289ci Ford Mustang V-8 as a four-speed. Two four-barrel carburetors mounted on a Edelbrock Ram-Thrust manifold. The carburetors were mounted backwards in an effort to save space and the pull type throttle actuation modified into a pusher type. The Koach rode on a 133-inch wheelbase, was covered in BLACK PEARL PAINT, featured a coffin-like blood red velvet interior with four-row seating, and was just plain awesome. WATCH Fireball below take a close-up look. >>>
Today's SKETCH comes from Fireball's WACKY CAR SEMINARS with Kids. He visits Schools and asks kids to design a car with THEIR specs. This one came out as the STRAWBERRY RAPTOR ROCKET 5000!
Also featured is Fireball's BLADE RUNNER themed MINI Cooper that premiered at the LA AUTO SHOW and built by legend Eddie Paul. Where is it now??
And finally, today's BEST OF SHOW features this smokin' hot all-original LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH.
