Daytona and the Monkemobile

Post by agnoraan »

here's a piece by Ronnie Schreiber

Quote:-
"This video clip is from the Monkeemobile’s final appearance in The Monkees television series, in an episode called The Monkees Race Again. The clip is of a race, perhaps filmed in part on Mulholland in Los Angeles, between the Monkeemobile, driven by Davy Jones, and in a nice surprise, what looks like one of the six genuine Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupes driven by a villain. That was long before anyone thought of making Cobra replicas so it was likely one of the actual Shelby Coupes. Based on the number 13 on the rear end, it’s possibly CSX2299, the second Daytona Coupe built and the one with the most extensive racing record. Interestingly, rather than using an original Monkees song, the soundtrack to the race is the Surfari’s Wipe Out (or is it the Ventures’ version?)".

Good grief. Brilliant, just brilliant. Love the drag racer's parachute pack in the middle the MM rear panel.

Is it just me, or were they really simpler times??
