I worked at a Transmission shop in the Western Burbs in 1980.There was a PlayBoy Pink 71 SX white int.Convert.w/Auto. trans.that came in needing service one day.We all thought Earl Scheib painted it for the owner,but he later said he bought it for his wife new from Nortell Olds like that.He said something about a limited production run in that color.
He told us it would be for sale once we finished,but no one there looked into it any further.

I painted a car that color but we didnt like the shade when we opened the can and poured a little really dark blue '70 VW color if I recall right we had on the bench in, was a killer shade of pink, had lots of compliments on it, will try to find a old pic and scan it.

I initially told my mom to get it and we could have it painted a different color. She said the only reason she'd get it is because it was pink.

The car in question was a white car originally if I remember correctly. I looked at it last in about 1999 or so. It was restored by Year One and was their catalog cover car way back when these cars could be bought for mid-5 figure numbers !
