ERTL's 1:18 diecast Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile reproduces the customised open-top tribute in red, inspired by the heavily modified GTO built for The Monkees television series. Opening features and a distinctive stretched, dragster-style body give this entry-tier piece genuine pop-culture novelty.
TL;DR: ERTL's 1:18 diecast Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile reproduces the customised open-top tribute car in red, inspired by the heavily modified GTO built for The Monkees television series. Its stretched, dragster-influenced bodywork makes it one of the more unusual custom car tributes in a mainstream muscle car diecast catalogue.
Custom car builder Dean Jeffries transformed a Pontiac GTO into one of television's most recognisable vehicles for The Monkees, stretching and reshaping the body into something no showroom GTO ever resembled. This red tribute channels that transformation.
ERTL's Take on a Heavily Customised TV Car
This tribute leans into the exaggerated proportions that made the original show car so memorable, with a longer, lower body and an open cabin styled to suggest the real custom's dragster-influenced stance rather than a stock GTO silhouette. Doors and other opening features reveal a simplified cabin, appropriate for a tribute piece built at an accessible price rather than as an exacting museum reproduction. The red paint runs evenly across the stretched bodywork, and the wheel and chrome detailing lean toward the flamboyant styling associated with custom show cars of the period rather than factory GTO trim. Panel gaps and finish depth sit toward the accessible end of the market, an honest limitation, but the unusual, elongated shape reads correctly as a deliberate custom build rather than a generic muscle car.
A Custom Build That Outgrew Its GTO Origins
The original show car started life as a Pontiac GTO before a custom builder reshaped it almost beyond recognition, stretching the wheelbase and reworking the body into a genuinely unique television prop rather than a modified production car in any conventional sense. That transformation is exactly why a Monkeemobile tribute stands apart from ordinary GTO diecast, representing custom car culture and television history at least as much as it represents Pontiac's actual muscle car lineage. For a collector interested in unusual, character-driven pieces rather than only factory-accurate reproductions, this tribute offers something genuinely different from the rest of a typical muscle car shelf.
