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. There are 3 Koaches. |

Dave's comments: One of Barris' most famous creations. As seen the the TV series. This kit and the original Dragula were "complete" kits with interior paint, brush and glue. The Koach was reissued by AMT in 1999. while both it and the Dragula were released in the same box in the Blueprinter series in 1989. Take a look at this site which tells some facts and has many pictures of this most famous TV car. |
