MONKEES, Rock, Pinups, Escablade, Pinto Shorty & THANKS!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from The Fireball Tim Garage! “I hope your Holidays are filled with JOY, LOVE and COOL CARS… and wanted to personally take this time to THANK ALL OF YOU who have supported OUR CAR CULTURE this year. It’s my sincerest desire to not only be grateful for THANKSGIVING, but to be grateful ALL YEAR LONG for the LOVE and KINDNESS you’ve sent me through your emails, texts, social and actual HUGS at shows. The world would be a better place if it were one big car show.
I’d be nothing without all of you… and I mean that. So, thank you.” -The Ball
And although most people take this day to EAT TOO MUCH, TALK TOO MUCH and then SLEEP, we here at the Garage are committed to GIVING YOU COOL CARS! So let’s start of with an all-new MONKEEMOBILE MASTERPRINT! Were, and ARE you a fan of the MONKEES? Would you ever NOT be?? Especially with the Dean Jeffries-Built PONTIAC… this Band had it goin’ on!
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? The Monkeemobile featured a split windshield, bucket seats, a third row bench, a rear-mounted parachute and a GTO emblem on the front grille. A second Monkeemobile was built to promote the show and was displayed at shopping centers and fairs, identical to the first, but came with air conditioning! Model Products Corporation (MPC) sold seven million toy Monkeemobile model kits, but the original Monkeemobile sold for $360,000 at auction in 2008. Each member of The Monkees was given a brand new 1966 Pontiac GTO as part of their contract!! Nice!
Also in today’s MONKEEBLAST, Classic Icon ROCK HUDSON poses with WHAT CAR? Fireball snaps with HOT ROD HOLLY at a SoCal Car Show, Fireball’s ESCABLADE Concept was an early Toy that didn’t make the cut, but it was cool… Family Vacation TRUCKSTER, Fifties Diner PINUP, FORD TORINO MUSCLE spotted on the STREETS OF VENTURA, Fireball’s TRUCKSTER ART is in the garage and waiting for YOUR WALL and lastly… Who’s got the BEST SMILE on the Planet??

MIAMI VICE, Celebs, Movie Cars, Outlaws, Smooches & SEMA!
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Now for a trip to the Gray Bar Motel with an all-new MIAMI VICE FERRARI TESTAROSSA MASTERPRINT! We’re you a fan of these stylistically dresses cops? We bet you were… and now you can GET THIS AMAZING ART for YOUR GARAGE!
DID YOU KNOW?? The car driven by Don Johnson’s character, Sonny Crockett, was a white 1986 Ferrari Testarossa with a 4.9-liter, 390 horsepower flat-12 engine and a 5-speed manual tranny. The car was in storage after the show was canceled in 1989 and emerged again in 2015. 26 years!! It was then authenticated by Ferrari Classiche and Ferrari of North America. The car was offered at auction with no reserve… and sold for $151,800. Ferrari filed a lawsuit against the show’s crew for trademark infringement, but as a solution… Ferrari donated two new Testarossa Monospecchios to the show. ChaChing!

MAGNUM PI FERRARI, Brando, Sorcery, Pinups & AWESOME ART!!
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY!! It’s Monday and that means that PI’s are on the case! So let’s start with a super cool Fireball MAGNUM PI FERRARI MASTERPRINT!! Maybe his “stache” needs it’s own Netflix Series??
DID YOU KNOW?? The iconic red Ferrari driven by Magnum had to be modified to fit Selleck’s frame, including removing the padding from the seat. It was originally supposed to be a Porsche, but it couldn’t be appropriately modified… so the Ferrari took its place. Three Ferraris were used over the show’s eight seasons, each with the license plate “ROBIN 1”- Season 1: 1979 308 GTS – Seasons 2-6: 1981 308 GTSi – Seasons 7-8: 1984 308 GTSi quattrovalvole.
Also in today’s TROPICAL BLAST… Hollywood Icon MARLON BRANDO gives out a SIG from what Car? The Jerry-Rigged MOVIE CAR from the campy, cheesy METAL STORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN! (Richard Band composed and recorded the score for this B-Movie in eleven days and it was Tim Thomerson’s first film for Charles Band. The late Richard Moll (who played Hurok) was discovered and cast by the producers of Night Court in 1984 for the role of Bull Shannon, the towering bailiff, while shooting this film. He shaved his head for the role and the producers of Night Court liked the look so much that Moll continued to shave his head for the show! Metal Storm combined elements of a western, post-apocalyptic, science fiction and sorcery. Wow!
PLUS… Fireball’s kick-ass 1992 SKETCHBOOK COVER ART, a SHOUT OUT SNAP with amazing artist HEATHER EDWARDS of THE DOG AND DRAGON, Fireball with the ROLLS ROYCE build for Nicholas Cage’s THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE, a stunning Latina Fireball PINUP and Fireball Pal NETTIE (@orangekrush64) from SEMA 2024!

FUTURE KNIGHT, Partridge, Pinup MUSCLE & Fireball RESIGNS
Like most things that happen in the FALL, CHANGE is in the air here at the FTG, so let’s start with Fireball’s FUTURE KNIGHT MASTERPRINT depicting Knight Rider’s movement into an uncertain future world where TECH is KING… and talking cars just aren’t enough. Should they make it??
DID YOU KNOW?? K.I.T.T. originally stood for “Trans Am Two Thousand” (T.A.T.T.) because the car was based on the Pontiac Trans Am. The red lights on the front of K.I.T.T. were inspired by the “eye” on the Cylons’ ship in Battlestar Galactica.
Also in today’s K.I.T.TASTIC BLAST… Screen Legend Glam KATHRYN HEPBURN wasn’t all about fuddy duddiness, Fireball says GOODBYE to MALIBU ARTS COMMISSION, resigning from Chairman to spend more time bringing you COOL CARS from HOLLYWOOD, the PARTRIDGE FAMILY heads to another Concert, an amazing PINUP SHOT from SnapArtist Carrie Hampton, Fireball’s BUICK GRAND NATIONAL with the Real Deal, a ’54 VETTE snap from CONEJO VALLEY CARS & COFFEE and…

VEGA$ T-BIRD BABY, Celebs, Rods and a Zany Zipster!
One of our favorite shows here in the Garage was VEGA$ with Robert Urich. If that show didn’t make you want to hit the SLOTS, SHOWS and SEXINESS that is Vegas, nothing did! So it was only a matter of time before Fireball sketched up THE RED THUNDERBIRD! Now as a MASTERPRINT and more…!
DID YOU KNOW?? Vega$ was an American crime drama television series starring Robert Urich that aired on ABC from September 20, 1978, to June 3, 1981, with the pilot episode airing April 25, 1978. It ran for five years, a total of 106 episodes aired over 5 seasons. In the final season, only 19 episodes of the originally-planned 22-episode season were filmed at the time the show was cancelled in 2008. The final episode ended with a cliffhanger with many issues left unresolved.
Also in today’s blast, another great shot from SOLDIER CON featuring Actor MARTIN KLEBBA (Pirates of the Carribean) in Billjohn and Merranda’s amazing DIECAST BOOTH! Plus, Fireball does up a blistering RAT ROD BUG, Bryce Canyon Rocket Tour ZANY ZIPSTER and the BUGATTI CHIRON! HOT, BABY, HOT!!

THE SAINT MASTERPRINT, M600 Mini, Rock n’ Roll & Maple Syrup!
Today, Fireball belts out a Classic with the 1967 VOLVO 1800 S from THE SAINT!!! A super cool MASTERPRINT and even a SHOT GLASS! Check it out IN THE GARAGE!
DID YOU KNOW?? Simon Templar was a Robin Hood-like figure known as “The Saint” – plausibly from his initials, but the exact reason for his nickname is unknown. The television series was broadcast by ITV in the UK between 1962 and 1969, and its overseas success made Moore a household name.
Plus, remember Fireball’s WORLD’S FASTEST MINI, the M600? It’s Vintage MINIBALL straight from Englishtown where they either broke records or BROKE AXLES!!! Also, a great SKETCH from the Wrench Nation Coloring Book featuring a sick Hot Rod from the James Hetfield Collection and finally… Fireball renders Billy Beluga’s Classic Truck doin’ it’s MAPLEWORKS! Another ZANY ZIPSTER!

DEMOLITION MAN, Maybelline and NEW CAR SHOW SAFARI Episode!
To wrap up the week, Fireball launches an all-new Masterprint with Stallone’s DEMOLITION MAN! A crazy funky Police Cruiser from the year 2032 where people lived in the utopianistic SAN ANGELES. And all is good until Wesley Snipes shows up!
DID YOU KNOW?? The GM ULTRALITE was a 1992 low emmissions concept vehicle intended to demonstrate the benefits of advanced materials and low fuel consumption. It was rated at 88 miles per US gallon by the EPA, but could achieve 100 miles per US gallon at a steady state cruising speed of 50 mph. Due to the unusual design, the Ultralite had been featured in several science fiction productions, most prominently among them was in the 1993 film Demolition Man as the squad cars used by the fictional SAPD (San Angeles Police Department).
Also in today’s blast, Gene Winfield’s MAYBELLINE CADDY, dumbfounded Superhero THE OWL and an all-new CAR SHOW SAFARI Episode! This time, the boys get SICK ON SODA!
