Hi Guys I thought I would share I just found and bought the 1985 Wedding Gift from Madonna to Sean Penn, his 68 500 GT Convertible, its finally sitting in my Garage! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/...=a.61491653758.73255.741428758&type=1&theater
Nice car. My friend owned that car back in the late 80's early 90's. He always took car of it. Have fun with it. Did you also get the life size cardboard cut out of Madonna with it?
It's very interesting I have learn't a lot about this car since I bought her, back in the Brat Pack days Penn, Sheen, Keifer and Emilo used to get in a lot of trouble in this car!
Charlie Sheen, Keifer and Nick Cage were/are Fans of the 60's Shelbys. Carroll knew them and they would show up at Shelby events back in the day.
According to California records, Penn put less than 900 miles on the car under his ownership, while Madonna put almost 18,000 miles on her pink 57 T-Bird given to her at the same time.Penn preferred his Ferrari's Charlie Sheens Shelby saw almost 10,000 miles under his ownership. Bill S.
Thank you everyone, if anyone has anymore pictures or info or my car and could email them to me at mjgoodall@earthlink.net I would be very grateful as I am trying to fill in the gaps in her history. Thank you Mark
Can you find out anything else interesting about this Shelby from the CA DMV during Sean Penn's ownership?
You found out more on the saacforum about the car. However, we who gave you the information are still awaiting fresh pictures (no, we are not all on facebook ) Unlike the other vehicles you buy, sell, rent out, you will not find a more passionate and knowledgeable group than those of us who deal within the Shelby realm. We track them carefully regardless of value as we view them as vehicles and not investments. Bill S.

I apprecaite your passion Bill, but its just a car and wether I park it as investment or drive her thats my choice as it was me that wrote out a very large check for her!
