Série: Des personnalités et leur Shelby

I own the Shelby GT500 convertible once owned by Charlie Sheen and used in the movie "Money Talks" with Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker. I've owned the car since February 2000 and (along with my step-daughter Amanda) picked it up at Charlie Sheen's house and met with him and he signed the dash board. The next day we was in Las Vegas where we met Carroll Shelby at his office and he signed the dash.

The Bruce Willis cars inspired great interest among collectors, particularly the actor’s 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 Convertible, selling for $161,000

Originally Acapulco Blue, it was repainted by Performance Paint in Torrance, California in the Bullitt Mustang’s memorable Dark Highland Green. The interior was done by Thomas Tops in Hollywood in Saddle Brown leather throughout and a distinctive “baseball stitch” on the built in roll bar’s leather covering, a package that cost $28,000. An Alpine stereo completed the comfort and entertainment complement.”

1966 Shelby GT350
VIN: SFM6S1757

History
This 1966 GT350 was shipped from Shelby American to Hi-Performance Motors in Los Angeles on 5/9/66. According to the 1997 edition of the Shelby American World Registry, it is one of only 29 factory original black/white stripe 1966 GT350's, by far the rarest color scheme produced. Nearly all the black cars were Hertz GT350H's with gold stripes. This car was originally purchased from Hi-Performance Motors in 1966 by Gary Lewis of "Gary Lewis and the Playboys" who owned it until 1970. An interesting side note is that when Mr. Lewis purchased the car, for unknown reasons it had been repainted maroon by the dealer. Maroon was not a color available on 1966 GT350's but Hi-Performance Motors was known to do a lot of experimenting on Shelbys and Cobras so perhaps this was one of those experiments. During the early 70's it was converted into a B/P race car by the third owner, Jim Baker, who actively competed in various club racing events throughout the Northwest. At that time it was painted blue with white stripes. The car has been restored back to the original color combination and street configuration with the following exceptions

Herbie Hancock et sa Shelby Cobra CSX 2000 1963

Herbert Jeffrey "Herbie" Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader and composer.[1] As part of Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet, Hancock helped to redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section and was one of the primary architects of the "post-bop" sound. He was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace music synthesizers and funk music (characterized by syncopated drum beats). Hancock's music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs "cross over" and achieved success among pop audiences. His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. In his jazz improvisation, he possesses a unique creative blend of jazz, blues, and modern classical music, with harmonic stylings much like the styles of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.

Connie Kreski (19 septembre 1946, Wyandotte, Michigan - 21 mars 1995, Beverly Hills, Californie) Mens.89-58-91; 1,65m - 54kg, (35-23-36, 5ft5in, 118lb)
Mannequin [vidéo] et actrice américaine, Connie Kreski (de son vrai nom Constance Kornacki) est Playmate du Mois pour le magazine Playboy de janvier 1968 et Playmate de l'Année 1969.

Son élection comme Playmate de l'année lui offre:
- pour ses déplacements: une Ford Mustang (plus exactement une Shelby GT-500 fastback 428 Cobra Jet), un vélo Schwinn Varsity 10 vitesses et une Harley Davidson M-65, tous les 3 dans la couleur roses dédiée aux Playmates de l'année.

Connie Kreski (September 19, 1946, Wyandotte, Michigan – March 21, 1995, Beverly Hills, California) was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for January 1968 and was Playmate of the Year for 1969. Kreski was born Constance Kornacki; she had long taffy-colored hair and blue eyes.

The car was originally Pastel Gray and repainted pink. The serial number is 69 # 1027. No air conditioning, automatic.

In 1968, there were ten Shelbys assigned to the Playboy mansion in Wisconsin. I think one could argue equally as cool. I know one is currently for sale. It's a GT350 convertible that needs the full monty (restoration).

THE PLAYBOY SHELBYS

Most people are familiar with the pink 1969 Shelby GT500 that was given to the Playmate of the Year. That car actually started out as a Pastel Gray fastback (1969 - Serial Number 1027). It was automatic transmission car without A/C. Almost forgotten are the ten Playboy convertibles from 1968. Shelby had a long running association with Playboy and Northwestern Ford. He visited the dealership frequently.

Here is a picture of # 3279. The car was once owned by famous tennis player Jimmy Connors. It currently resides in Southern California.

James Scott Connors, dit Jimmy Connors (surnommé « Jimbo »), est un joueur de tennis américain, né le 2 septembre 1952 à East Saint Louis dans l'Illinois. Numéro un mondial à l'ATP pendant 268 semaines, dont 160 consécutives entre 1974 et 1977, il a remporté, au cours d'une carrière exceptionnellement longue (1970-1996), huit tournois du Grand Chelem en simple, dont l'US Open à cinq reprises et deux fois Wimbledon. Comptant au total 149 titres à son palmarès, dont 109 recensés par l'ATP, ce qui constitue le record absolu sous l'ère Open, il est considéré comme l'un des plus grands joueurs de tennis de tous les temps.

Gaucher au tempérament bien trempé, il a, parmi les premiers, fait un usage immodéré de son revers à deux mains qu'il aimait à frapper le plus fort possible du fond du court, dès le retour de service.

Jugé trop arrogant par le monde du tennis dans les années 1970, sa combativité sans faille, son charisme et son humour lui ont finalement valu, les années passant, de devenir l'un des joueurs les plus appréciés du public.

Jimmy Connors a épousé la Playmate Patti McGuire, Miss Novembre 1976 et Playmate de l'Année 1977, dont il a eu 2 enfants.
