18 thousand miles since new... probably to and from the 1/4 mile, and lots of times down the track

1968 Shelby GT 500 KR, Nascar tunnel ram 427 side oiler. Only 900 miles on it since 1970... think investment. 13.5 to 1 compression, think 115 octane or better, expensive to get even 900 miles along.
With probably 6 or 7 miles per gallon on this dual quad gas pump, a 20 gallon tank, and around 8 bucks a gallon, I think it may be close to guess that they've only burned up about 1200 bucks in gas in 37 years. Thats 900 miles in 37 years = 24 miles a year = 4 gallons of fuel a year.

The Rumble seat Mustang you've never seen or learned of, except here

elite bike,cars,new car I've posted on these before,

Suprised the hell out of me, one went up for auction at Barrett Jackson and they didn't promote it... wow, missed chance there to spread the word. I'll be looking through the magazines to see how many were at the auction and noticed this rarity

Went for 48 thou.

"This particular package was a joint effort by Ford and Autocraft of Dearborn, MI. The option was not shown on the build sheet or Ford window sticker because the conversion was done after assembly. It was a "Blossom-Time" sales promotion offered only during April 1969 to certain Michigan dealers. Documented by 2 different magazine articles, it is still un-certain exactly how many were done. This one is believed to be the only one in "Meadowlark Yellow". This one was built April 16, 1969 and delivered to Jack Dykstra Ford in Lansing, MI."

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 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
