- Barris Kustoms created the spooky hot rod "Munster Koach" for the hit 1960's TV show "The Munsters." It was built out of three Ford Model T bodies which brought the total length to 18 feet. It has 10 carburetors, a 289 Ford Cobra engine, and no power steering which makes it a crazy car to drive. George Barris, Tex Smith, Tom Daniel, and Dick & Keith Dean all had a hand in this historic build.
Full episode coming soon!

Ya gotta love the 60’s. We sure had a cool way of looking at things. That car brings back so many childhood memories.
Yes sir tom it sure does bro
Incredible to see that this beautiful car creation running and working in 2019..
In my mind, this is the most memorable and impressionable hot rod style car of all time. Even with all of those doors, it's the General Lee of hot rods.
What's the General Lee then? Lol
A racecar
One of the most Beautiful Iconic cars anywhere in the world, I just love it and I'll bet a lot of people would pay big BIG bucks to have it !!! I LOVE IT !!!
One of my all time favorite tv shows. Nice to see this being driven.
I read that one time Fred Gwynne headed out the studio gates in this crazy contraption with all of the Munster cast aboard in full makeup and they hit the LA freeway, driving around waving to people before finally heading back to the studio.
There's gotta be some video of that!
@@shanelewis617 maybe Super-8?
Awesome
@@hatbpto5180 ... super 8 came out in 1965, so maybe if someone had a new camera it might have been super 8. Other than that, the best we can really hope for is a still photo... because people didn't carry around a cam all the time back then.
That's a great story! I was a kid in SoCal during the 60s, so this really resonates with me!
It's great seeing her in color!!! The black&white tv show just doesn't do color justice! Lovely!!! Thanks guys!!!!
I think the B/W show had a different character in it's own right. It mirrored the look of many of those gothic horror movies we watched on Saturday morning television back then. I understand the colored episodes were expensive to produce and contributed to the cancellation of the series.
It's loud enough to raise the dead.
Lofl 😆
Hooda Gooboy it has open headers
That is the idea.
Who here is hearing the theme song for The Munsters in their head while watching?
Me.
Better yet, I have the Original "Munster Koach" song on my channel ! ( And so many others...what a car!
Same here.
All I hear is that one cylinder popping and missing lol
@@dudleyperformancewerks7055 LOL...Been sittin' too long! Needs to run it more often...
One of my favorite cars. Thanks for the memories.
Grew up with whole thing. Love both the Koach and Dragula
10 carbs on a 289, Carroll would be proud.
Ten carbs on an eight cylinder engine. How does that work?
@@grandpied probly not very well
@teledine My Son knows carbs as I was cleaning the carb on my HD, he came out and I gave him the manual, we went thru every circuit.
@@grandpied
How does a 4 Barrell carb work on 8 cylinders? It just does. If someone knows what they are doing.
i remember that episode , lily goes to the used car dealer and buys the T bucket and old hearse and says " take them to the body shop and put them together . Its for my husbands birthday" Barris was great on those old builds :)
I remember the episode when this car premiered. Lily wanted a special present for Herman’s birthday and this was the gift she gave. Nice to see it still lives on. Have to say the driver had his hands full driving that thing, looks like the steering needs work.
Lily went to a used car lot,...she saw a T-Bucket,....and a Hurst,....and told the dealer to put the two together. I think Gene Simons owns the original!
Mark Solarz OK, I did not get into the detail, I think it is sufficient to know when the car showed. I mean, it was in 1964, on a Thursday night, at about 7:45 to 7:50, on CBS.
senorkaboom I’m 54,.. for years they would play in syndication,..usually with the Addams Family,..for a full hour of Comedy! The black n White was very natural! Most old horror movies were in black n White...so even though color TV had been around for years,....a few of the great black n White comedy’s still showed regularly,....especially the Honeymooners and Lucy! And with only 4 or 5 channels to watch after school,..everybody kinda watched the same thing!
I just watched that episode this morning..funny how you tube works
xjeepmanx I’m getting shown these because I watched all of season 1 of Adult Wednesday Addams....
Damn, I want that thing driving down MY street, just so I can film it, and marvel at it!
Ticks off ALL my boxes:
Gothic/Horror lover ✅️
Hot Rod/Rat Rod/1940's and older car lover ✅️
Unique vehicle build fan ✅️
I love that show, this vehicle, and the coffin racing vehicle Herman used in the Munster car races. Hilarious!
Dragula!!
The Munsters was one of my favorite TV shows of all time even today I would watch it if it was back on again
They did a reboot a number of years ago but it didn't have the magic of the original. I mean think of those actors! How do you replace them?
This is SO COOL. I would love to have this car. Just imagine the attention you'd get at car shows.
Or out shopping and stopping at a drive thru
I built this model and I still have it. Spider webs in the headlight glass...
Awesome does not begin to describe this.
Kinell I love it...
10 Carbs.....
Bliss....
In the TV show "The Munsters", Lily went to a used car lot to buy Herman a Birthday Present and she saw a 23-27 "T" Bucket Hot Rod and, a Hearse! She asked the Salesman if he could combine the two cars? He said We can do anything you want, so, the next episode was "Hermans Birthday Present!". Let me tell you, when they brought out the Munsters Koach, I thought it was the Coolest Car I ever saw! I was about 14 or 15 when the Munsters series was playing, and I never missed one episode! I laughed my butt off every week and so did all my friends! Herman and Grandpa were a perfect comedy duo, and their timing was perfect! Too bad Hollywood doesn't still make great tv shows as funny as that anymore. The kids nowadays don't know what they're missing, but then again, they probably wouldn't like it because there isn't any killing in it, or back stabbing like there is in todays kiddy matinees?!
Dennis' knees almost touching his ears.
How the hell did 7' tall Herman even get in that bucket ?!!
They also took out the seat...
"You know Eddie, you have the neatest parents in the whole world." Elmer got it...
Good memory...love that episode...so much comic misunderstanding about babies lol
Dennis never learns, there's not enough wax in the world to hold the "mustache" in a open car!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!! I am a diehard Munster fan as well!!!!!! One of my favorite TV shows. It is about hot rods and family.
Cackling pypes, yes I too heard a few misfires. Still a bucket list must have.
What a wonderful wife Lilly was to buy two cars and have that made that for Herman's Birthday 🎂
I've seen other Munster koach reproductions but this one is Dead on.
Right on! ..though, she must be murder at the gas pumps, oh well..you'll die broke and happy.
Ha! Dead on 😅
I can’t help but hear the misfire. I absolutely love this car!
Hands down, the COOLEST car ever made!!!!
Wow, I love The Monsters hot rod. Looks incredible in color with all the chrome and brass.
Love it , crazy car
That Car demands respect
3 t-buckets? Damn!!! Love it!!!
Nothing subtle about the coach. So many memories of that show.
Awesome! Loved that old Koach, and grandpa’s coffin car too! Those are just too cool!!
I thought the same thing , the racing coffin car......
Dragula.
Didin't someone just buy the Coffin car?? think i saw on a TV show last year..gave 6,000. bucs!
olvinyldude - yeah you’re probably right, I think I remember something like that.
@@hensleyshobbies-doug7761 Maybe, Pawnstars ?
Nice hood to take a spin around!
I have to agree with some others that is the best replica I have ever seen. Awesome show. And yes I did see the original best TV car ever made.
Love this machine
That's friggin' AWESOME!
I love this car. I had the original lunchbox in grade school. I wish I still had it.
Same here I'm very disappointed I don't have mine either.
You're a lucky man Dennis... I've been dreaming of driving that car for over 50 years !
Awesome and fun thanks
If there was any Barris car and any TV show car the Muster Mobile was it. That was the coolest TV car of all time bar none.
“ I don’t know if I want to go too fast in it tho” he says, and then steps on the gas. Hahaha. Love it.
Watched this show all of the time when I was a kid. Love the coach and drag coffin cars. Cool and nostalgic.😎
I used to watch reruns in the mid 70s on Saturday mornings and I freaking loved that car(s)! So glad to see this ❤️
I've always wanted to arrive at a boss Halloween bash in The Koach.
This was one of my favorite cars of all time
Now I know what colour it is as in the original Munsters show it was in black-and-white I believes
Si much fun! Amazing hoty
I loved _The Munsters_ TV show when it debuted, like millions of other kids out there! I eagerly built the original plastic model car kit. Don't know whatever happened to it but it was fun to build. Yep, George Barris was a genius!
Thank you, Herr Mustache, this was fun to watch!
Oh boy! Got excitement and goosebumps
My altime favorite hot rod..
Dennis you have a great job !!😀
Can you imagine getting up everyday and being paid to drive the greatest cars ever built and the cars you've always dreamed of ? It doesn't get much better than that !!
I don't even want to drive it, I wanna sit in back!😎
What an awesome car I want one. I got to drive one of the original bat mobile cars back in the early 80’s that was super wild.
Very cool video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
I LOVE that it's a Ford!!! LOVE MY FORDS!
Dennis is back! Like within the first second!
Barris said when Fred Gyenne drove the car, they took the front seat out and he sat on the floor. With him being 7 feet with the shoes, he could not fit in the seat.
Another over- the-top Barris creation. Never did understand the yellow doors though. Or for that matter the exaggerated gear shifter, even Dennis struggled with it!
If I could choose a TV / movie car THIS would be it!!!
How cool, 4 speed and a Dana 60. Real Hot Rod!
Ima big MUSNTERS FAN. I got alot of collections from there show. Would love to build the Coach and Dragula one day.
Quite a creation!! 💘 d this show!!
There is hot rodders and there is collectors. I appreciate anyone saving a piece of American history, but this dude needs to take his artwork on wheels out a drive it. No matter what it is, cars will always be built drive.
And I build classics, nothing like the great George Barris, but classic automobiles to drive and enjoy.
Awesome piece of history right here
Completely agree! Craftsmanship, has gone the way.......of Ikea.
I'm pushing 60, and, now that I'm getting up in years, I only now recognize classic vehicles, and old, ornate furniture, made (or usually hand-carved) out of REAL wood (not pressboard), just to name a few. I miss the days of watching glassblowers creating unique pieces of art, and the skills to do so. When I was younger, all that, was lost on me.
U have the coolest job my friend ✌🏼
Timeless.
As to the steering-- This is a very long wheelbase with a Model T (I think) pitman arm draglink steering box. It takes lots of movement to make it move. That little bit of movement that would make a Model T turn on a dime doesn't do as much when the wheelbase is 2.5 times longer than the steering box was designed for. Also remember that in filming there are lots of cameras and several takes and many times that we see Dennis move the wheel it is an edited clip so we really don't know where each segment was filmed or the speed of the "Koach". It might look like Dennis is driving a long straight street then the clip jumps to Dennis cranking on the wheel but it might not be that way at all. But driving it would be squirrelly. Cool video!!
I just watched the episode where Lilly got the car for Herman .
Best sounding car in the world!
I've seen both the originals (munster koach and dragula) at Volo's museum in Illinois and I'd give a kidney to drive either of em!!
One of my favorites, also the " Paddy Wagon" . Not sure if the Paddy Wagon was ever actually built. It was a model I put together as a kid.
When I was a kid by friend had the Hot Wheels Paddy Wagon. BTW, Paddy used to be a name people would give to Immigrant Irish policemen. I'll let you put that together 🙂
Coolest car ever. Or the Batman car. Both!
I’d have to drive that every day lol
Be so fun in October. Just hopping in with a bunch of friends freaking people out.
No power steering though. Put that in and I'd drive it.
Great memories!
Recently saw a clip of the show where lily bought the Hurst and a beat up bucket to go to a local shop for renovations. The first was to be the family car as we can see here and the Tbucket was to be for errands with mostly her driving it.
that red seat would be scary as hell to ride in!
It was!
I'm sure that would be fun to ride in
It was!
Lily went to a used car lot. She proceeded to pick out two cars. One was a vintage hearse and the other, a hot rod car of some sort. She asked the salesman to combine the two cars into one. She told him that it was to be a birthday present for her husband..
I liked the episode where Lilly got it from the used car lot
Watched that episode this morning.
Lilly buys two cars and gets the dealer to make alterations..
The two cars are then merged into one. Such an awesome old show. 😊
Would really like to go cruising in that fabulos car
And of course Grampa's Drag-U-La is right up there too, also made by George Barris.
That guy is lugging that engine.
Sooo cool.
The original Munsters Koach in truth only used one 4 barrel carb on the 289. The 10 one barrel carbs were not hooked up and was only there for looks.
Back when custom cars were fun.
I love this Car...
Dialing in those carbs would be a nightmare.
Dear Santa...…..Please could I have one for Christmas?
That question when it was built Time machine and a paradox Thank you I didn't know that
hello 289 love those carbs
Who's the dark arts wizard who can synchronize 10 carburetors?
I built that model back in the day, way too cool.
It's a shame it met it's demise in a firecracker battle.😁
We used to build battleship models to float in the pool and blow up. Then we decided they should burn after they exploded. Good times.
😈😲😆
The original monster coach is on display at the Volo auto museum - Michigan isn't it?
Volo is in Illinois
Sorry I'm from France and I don't remember. But I went there last year and saw the coach in real along with other TV series vehicles from that era.
Yes George Barris design a car. Yeah he did a very very good job and he did the Batmobile to. Rest in peace George.
3:15 - The stick-shift is for the back-seat passenger, lol.
That intro makes you fit right in as the 6th family member, 'ya think?'! (just joshing your vintage stash, man)... Thanks for the blast from the past, Sir - you got it ;)
the same day this was uploaded i bought this car in 1/ 64th scale
Awesome
