Just by the way, George Barris (1925-2015) is the creator of the first Batmobile (1966) and more than 1000 Hollywood custom cars.

Back to the Coach, here is the original…

Some had already tried to customize them, but nothing good came out of it…

What frankly failed trials, fortunately, George Barris took matters into his own hands with a Coach 6 wheels here…

You notice the organ keyboard at the back of the Coach ?


the Raiders Coach is an exact replica of the fabulous Raiders Diligence designed and built by George Barris for the musical group Paul Revere and the Raiders.

Hitched to an 18th century tractor with two XJ-428 Pontiac GTO engines 1000 horses and equipped with a complete sound system with an organ, a battery, microphones and speakers, the Raider’s Coach is an autonomous sound studio mounted on 6 wheels.

Paul Revere and the Raiders is a very delirious American rock band that was very successful in the second half of the years 1960 and at the beginning of the years 1970.

I suggest you watch the photos while listening to a famous song from the rock band…

And model…

Some even tried to modify their model, it's still less beautiful…

From what I know, the group changed vehicles afterwards…

Since, we have more news

Founder of mm2 France, oto6, then from Sixmania. The 6 wheels and more have always been a passion for me. It started in 1980 thanks to a certain Christian de Léotard, you know ?
