Do you have any pictures of the car when it was Playboy Pink ?
Any pictures of the ten pink cars in the parade ?
The Playboy Pink Pantera I had was factory white, then painted Playboy pink after being purchased by playboy.
Neat car.

None of the 10 were pink. This car is factory black and still black. Numerous other colors for the other 9 cars but this is the only black one.

Thanks

A buddy herein sent  me a PM that straightened it up for me.

The 10 were not "given" to Playboy. They were loaned for the grand opening ceremonies.
That must be why they were not painted Pink.
Respectfully,
John

I just watched his auction video. It sounded to me like expectations exceeded reality.

He might of covered the restaurant tab from his videos
