stronghold ◊ 2008-03-08 00:54	yes ,you're right + a husky 1/64th (I believe Johnny Lightning released a 1/64th version a few years ago also.!)

vistacruiser67 ◊ 2013-07-31 19:03	I sold a Dean Jeffries article on ebay March 13 or this year to somebody out around Vegas. It was an article about James Bond Moon Vehicle from a 1972 Hi Performance Cars magazine issue. The guy was going to have it framed for him. I hope he got it before he died circa May 7. Only lived less than two months after I sold it. Only sold for $5 with free shipping. The guy that bought the article said he was doing fine. somename wrote Customizing legend Dean Jeffries dies -- Last edit: 2013-07-31 19:11:39

vistacruiser67 ◊ 2016-08-24 05:42	One was used for the show and one with slotted wheels went on the show circuit. They looked slightly different. 58Roadmaster wrote "[Pontiac's contracted ad agency chief] Wangers also ordered two base-engined, automatic-transmissioned 1966 GTO convertibles that would be converted into Monkeemobiles" http://www.monkees.net/DOCS/MMOBILE.HTM The article also says the supercharger is false.
