Parade Mustang with rumble seat, 1 of 4



This is just one of four Playboy Pink special builds for parades.


Possibly the same as this listing 1969 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE, V-8, PINK, PRESENTED TO PLAYMATE OF THE YEAR IN 1969 BY HUGH HEFNER, TROPHY WINNER, FRAME OFF RESTORATION, GARAGE KEPT AND COVERED., Vehicle condition: 2, Lot No.: 459, Highest Bid: $12200 - SOLD Ft. Myers, FL - March 20 & 21 1999. No image. http://www.carsonline.com.au/usauctions.html#Myers

Of course, this website and picture states the playmate of the year was given an AMX, "an all pink AMX was given to Playboy's Playmate of the Year, Angela Dorian. She still owns the car, but she seems to like the Rolling Stones, as she since painted it black" http://www.american-motors.de/en/history/60s/

This is the picture link http://www.javelinamx.com/JavHome/articles/pb0568-3.jpg

This car is so unknown that it doesn't even show up or get mentioned on this website devoted to freaking rare mustangs... http://www.limited600mustang.com/specials.html

Here are the pics for the next entry




What Boss Mustangs were meant for

This is getting ready for the last heat of the day, all the '65-75 cars.

I don't like pictureless stories myself, but they won't upload

I knew this info, and had the pictures, but these guys are better writers, so I include a link to their site, but the photos are from other places.

There were several special edition Mustangs in 1967, such as the Mustang GTA and the Mustang Stallion. (only Canadian) While the GTA was simply a Mustang GT with an automatic transmission, the Stallion was a very unique and very rare model with only 8 built.

The Stallion came with either a 289 Hi-Po, 390, or 428; the transmission options were either a 4-speed manual or C6 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic, , limited slip rear differential, power steering, power disc brakes, Stallion logos, Cougar taillights, and custom wheels. The Shelby G.T 350 still came equipped with the 289 Hi-Po, and the G.T 500 came packed with a 335 horsepower 428 cubic inch V8. The Shelby models in 1967 received more aesthetic changes, with the grille being changed from the other 67 Mustangs to allow for better cooling, and along with a special rear spoiler, Cougar taillights were fitted to the back end to give it a much different look than the standard Mustangs. The Shelby's sold to the general public were al fastbacks, with a select few made as coupes strictly for Trans Am racing. The G.T. 500 also came with a roll bar and the option of racing style harnesses.

The High Country Specials were still offered with production numbers of only 400, and the rarest 1967 Mustang was the Shelby Super Snake. It was equipped with a 520-horsepower lightweight 427 cubi c inch engine with aluminum heads, tuned headers, 780 CFM Holley 4 barrel carb, aluminum intake, oil cooler, remote filter, 4 speed trans and a 4.11 ratio Detroit locker rear differential. This model was a record breaker, but unfortunately, due to the price of $7,500, which was almost three times the cost of a normal Mustang, it was never mass produced. (Only one made)

The Mustang had some good looking concepts that didn't make it, like the Milano, this 2-seater "Mustang Milano" and showed it worldwide beginning of 1970 (starting in February), of course also in Europe.The taillamps of this show car glowed green, amber or red, to indicate wether the car was accelerating, coasting or stopping. The hood was a Shelby-style hood with several scoops and the car was painted in "Ultra violet". The rear hatch could be lifted electrically including the rear glass and revealed a matching set of purple luggage, same colour as the seats.

A good website for unique mustangs is http://www.ponysite.de/news.htm, they have pics of a 67 stang that has a GT40 engine, only 21 recently made. Called the Anaconda, GT690GW

On a scale of one to ten (flikr pool)



Above: The Dynacorn comapny makes brand new 1967 fastback Mustangs, 57 Chevy's, 69 Camaro's, and I think 1951 Ford F100's

SCCA meetings at Qulacomm bring out a variety of sports cars to play one the course and test and improve for fun, cool to watch!



















I think its very cool to show up to a club race that is predominantly Miatas and Hondas in a little Italian commuter that has been tricked out, it was the precursor to the trend of tricking out Hondas I think it would be accurate to say

This is the coolest way to mount a camera! Use what is hanging around in the tool box








Yeah, that looks a little bit too big. Probably been tested to work, but sheesh, it BMW figured they needed an air dam that big, they'd have rolled the car off the production line with it. But then again, that paint just screams out "Look at me"
I love it, a bug to race.. very cool
