THE MUNSTER'S KOACH
Designed and built by George Barris.
George Barris is considered by some to be the King of Customizers.
He built the "World's most famous car;" the "Batmobile"! For some
reason, at the time, I was unimpressed with the "Batmobile". I was,
however, in love with the "Munsters" TV show and I loved Grandpa
Munster's "Munster Koach"!
The Koach was made from 3 Model T bodies and is 18 feet long. The
133" frame was made by hand.
It has a four speed manual transmission and a power rear end. The
brass radiator and fenders were hand formed. In 1964, the cost to
build the first one was $18,000.00. It had "blood red" velvet
interior. It took 500 hours to hand form the ornate rolled steel
scrollwork. It had Gloss Black Pearl paint. The front end had a
dropped axle, split radius rods and T springs. The studio gave
George Barris 21 days to complete the car. Powered by a 289 Ford
Cobra engine from a 1966 Mustang GT. Built with Jahns high
compression pistons, ten chrome plated Stromberg carburators, an
Isky cam, and had a set of Bobby Barr racing headers..
Congratulations to LSD! for a
FTF!
