If you love 1960s sitcoms (we are not judging), you may have come across “The Munsters,” which is a story about a family of benign monsters, in a way, similar to “The Addams Family.” In the episode dubbed “Hot Rod Herman,” there was a car named the “Drag-U-La.” As it turns out, the car is very much real and in working condition. Moreover, it’s for sale and here’s what you need to know about it.

The Drag-U-La is, essentially, a fiberglass coffin, sitting on tubular steel, front-engine, dragster chassis. At the time, it was illegal to sell a coffin without a death certificate in California, but through resourcefulness, project manager Richard “Korky” Korkes, Barris’s, an under-the-table deal was struck. He left the funeral home empty-handed but returned at night to pick up the fiberglass coffin, which was left around the back of the building.

Although we don’t have exact figures, the fiberglass “body” and dragster underpinnings suggest the Drag-U-La is very lightweight. Moreover, the “flying coffin” is powered by a 289 cubic inch Ford V-8 that makes 350 horsepower. The engine features a Mickey Thompson Ram-Thrust intake manifold, two four-barrel carburetors, and is mated to an automatic gearbox.

Drag-U-La specifications

The car featured eight, upwards-pointing exhaust tips (four on each side) that resemble organ pipes, as well as a marble gravestone, which, in the episode, is also a license plate. Antique lights have been used for the headlights, and the whole coffin is finished in gold. The dome-shaped canopy is as far back as possible, and there’s also a parachute mounted at the rear.

You can find more about the car in the listing. The Drag-U-La comes with a Letter of Authenticity and Certificate of Authenticity from Barris Kustoms and is the last of only five built. This one is also considered to be the most authentic of the five cars.

The Drag-U-La is probably the car that most resonates with the term “deathtrap.” Although you’d have to be a mad man (or a Munster) to drive this on a daily basis, there is no denying it’s going to be one wicked fast coffin – not exactly reassuring words; it would definitely be an event driving it.
