1968 Shelby Playboy Convertibles

[Coralsnake]

I havent seen them if they exist, also looked for other playboy produced publications.

Ive been to Lake Geneva newspaper and historical society, but had no luck.

Im not saying they dont exist, but someone will need to dig below the first couple layers

I have been to the first and original playboy mansion in hollywood CA. twice over the years invited to big parties there even swam in the grotto but wasnt looking at the cars much for some reason so not much help but i do know the new owner and bought several cars for him over the years!!

[Side-Oilers]

Did Hefner ever do a profile of Carroll in the magazine?   Seems like a natural.

FACTOID

Last days of the playboy

Daren Metropoulos, the son of billionaire investor C. Dean Metropoulos, purchased the compound for $100 million. The Times reported at the time:

The mansion sold for $100 million, the biggest home sale ever recorded in Los Angeles County.

As part of the sale, Hefner will be allowed to remain in residence for the remainder of his life; Playboy Enterprises will pay $1 million a year to lease the property, according to agents not authorized to comment on the transaction. All the statues, gargoyles and arcade games at the mansion were also included in the record deal.

"The Playboy Mansion is one of the most iconic properties in the world and the crown jewel of Holmby Hills and the platinum triangle," Metropoulos said at the time. "For the last 45 years, Mr. Hefner has imbued the estate with a rich and storied legacy."

The metropolis  family owned adjoining property to the mansion as that deal was in the works for a while. Connies pink 69 shelby was delivered and given to her at a party at the mansion but thats a whole other interesting story on why she didnt keep it very long!

I wonder if the current owners of Connie's car know the story?

Is there a reason that story can not be shared here?

YES

It is because Ed was there and he ignored her the whole time drooling over the pink Shelby.

We have a question

On this 1969 "PINK" Shelby, Connies Shelby, how would this specific vehicle be scored if everthing was 100% correct .... except for what truly makes it unique  ?

It is going pink. I don't remember who painted it but I'd think if it was AO Smith then pink. But you know what? It is a much more interesting car in story and value as a pink car. You can say the same thing about Carroll Shelby's 69 GT500 that was  a diff color at first then painted red with 10 spokes, white stripes added.
