Designed and built by King of the Kustomizers George Barris, the Koach was made from three Model T bodies and is 18 feet long with a custom hand made frame. The brass radiator and fenders were also formed by hand and the interior is blood red velvet, while the outside is Gloss Black Pearl paint. It took 500 hours just to hand form the ornate steel scrollwork. The front end has a dropped axle, split radius rods and T springs. The car is powered by a 289 Ford Cobra engine which is built with Jahns high compression pistons, ten chrome plated Stromberg carburetors, an Isky (Iskendarian) camshaft and a set of Bobby Barr racing headers. Power is fed to a 4 speed manual transmission. The cost of production was approximately $18,000.00. Wow! It's too bad that the Munsters TV show was filmed entirely in black and white because it cannot do justice to this fabulous custom. Color photographs of the car will set any auto enthusiast's heart racing to the point of getting a heart attack....but what a way to be driven to the mortician!
