At first look, you’ll be wondering why anyone will want to have anything to do with this car, then you look closer and realise it has some sentimental value. What’s the sentimental value?

The Dragula car was built in the show after Herman Munster lost the family’s car—the Munster Koach—in a drag race. On realising this, Grandpa Munster had to build something fast for him to win their car back in another race. That was where the entire idea of this coffin-like car came from.

Looking at it, it looks so much like the original car from the show. That’s even why many casts from the show have endorsed this car.
What is most astounding about the car is its coffin-like body. However, this car you’re looking at is equipped with a 4.7-litre V8 engine from a Ford Mustang that churns out 350 horsepower. Insane? It even has an attached parachute to help you come to a stop when flying down the road.
This car was designed specifically for drag racing; it wears slick tires at the rear to aid with road traction. However, you’ll have to be careful with those skinny bicycle tires on the front wheels.
Another exciting feature of this car is its tombstone for a license plate! Does it mean it’s a death trap car if found on the road?
Thankfully, the car isn’t road registrable; it’ll only be sold on a Bill of Sale as proof of ownership.
There’s strong doubt you’ll ever find it in Nigeria. But, if there was a chance, could you imagine what it’d be used for? The speculation makes the car even more enjoyable.
