Collector's Call Web Extras: Iconic Hollywood cars and awesome replicas!
How much is a real Monkeemobile worth?
Holy Hollywood hot rods, Batman! Michael Knight and Mel Gutherie not only have a Batmobile in their incredible garage, but these car fanatics also own a Monkeemobile, Munster Koach, KITT, Mystery Machine, Mach Five and more!
Featured items in their collection of original and replica Hollywood cars range from the Ghostbusters' Ecto-1 to the A-Team van.
All told, Michael has built replicas of more than 130 classic Hollywood vehicles — and Mel owns one of the two original screen-used Monkeemobiles. We brought along John Jendza, a car collector and auto historian who valued the collection into the seven figures!
Take a look — and see two vehicles we were not able to fit in the show.

This garage full of classic Hollywood vehicles has a Batmobile, Munster Koach, KITT and more!
2. Bonus Video: The A-Team Van
Dirk "Faceman" Benedict and Dwight "Murdock" Schult both autographed this perfect replica of the two-tone GMC van seen on The A-Team.
3. Bonus Video: The Blues Brothers Car
This 1974 Dodge Monaco has been fixed up and modeled to look like the Chicago police cruiser driven by Jake and Elwood in the classic 1980 comedy The Blues Brothers. That's a working air raid siren on the top, and Dan Aykroyd himself autographed the dash.
