  • RIP Dean Jeffries

    I'm just gonna assume most of you don't know who he is, so here's a quick list:

    - famous car pinstriper, painter, customizer from SoCal
    - painted the lettering on James Dean's 'Little Bastard' Porsche
    - painted about half of the Indy cars that raced in the '60s
    - painted the first Cobra five times for different magazine cover shoots so it would look like they were in full production
    - built an amazing show car called the Manta Ray using two Maserati race car chassis, both of which would be worth $million$ today
    - built the Black Beauty
    - built the Monkeemobile
    - a ton of other stuff

    RIP Dean!

    Really sad to see that generation dying off, those guys were true innovators.

                  Damn! He lived a good life though, nothing to feel too bad about! I guess I always thought George Barris did the Monkeymobile.

                    I also thought Barris did the Monkeymobile.
                    Rip Dean.
                    May God give us strength and courage in the time of our darkest hours.

                      As did I, but it turns out the Barris ended up with the "show" car and modified it before restoring and auctioning it a few years ago.
