Revology Cars Hits 100th Car Milestone with "Playboy Pink" 1966 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
After seven short years Revology Cars, maker of new reproduction 1960s Ford Mustangs, is delivering its 100th car, a major milestone for the specialty automaker.
Revology’s progress since its launch in 2014 has been remarkable. The Orlando, Florida-based automaker has attracted customers not just from the US, but also from all over the world, a testimony to the global appeal of the original Mustang combined with Revology’s innovative integration of modern technology and materials to improve performance, reliability, comfort, and safety.
The Revology owner body is very loyal, with some clients owning two, three or even four Revology Mustangs and/or Shelby GTs. Part of the reason for this is their cars’ exceptional resale value — Revology vehicles retain more than 90 percent of their original price after two years.
In contrast to a volume automaker, every car Revology builds is made to order. And the 100th car is no different, with its own, uniquely interesting backstory.
The car is a 1966 Ford Mustang GT convertible, painted in Playmate Pink. Between 1965 and 1972, Ford offered Mustangs in several shades of pink. The first was Playmate Pink, available as a special order option on the 1965 Mustang.
Playboy magazine awarded a Playmate Pink 1965 Mustang convertible to Donna Michelle Ronne, the 1964 Playmate of the Year.
Flash forward to 2021 and the buyer of Revology’s 100th car decided he wanted to echo the famous, original pink Mustang with a GT convertible painted in the same color. The car itself was a surprise gift to the buyer’s wife.
Delivering the 100th car “is a huge milestone for the Revology team and our clients,” says Revology Cars founder and CEO Tom Scarpello. “Building new reproduction 1960s Mustangs is not easy, but nothing meaningful ever is. We are honored to carry the torch for this iconic American brand and are looking forward to the day we deliver #1000.
“With only 100 produced to date, all Revology Mustangs are exceedingly rare, but this pink Revology Mustang is one of a kind, at least for now.”
Revology’s 100th car will make a special appearance on the company’s show stand at ‘The Amelia’ concours from March 3-6, 2022. The presence of the 100th car at the Amelia Island event will be doubly significant for Revology Cars as the venue is where the company launched its first prototype car back in 2015.
Revology is the first company ever licensed by Ford to build a new reproduction Ford. It is also one of a handful of companies worldwide licensed by Shelby.
