Hugh Hefner's 1973 CS
- Thread starter Lorenzo
- Start date
wow 23% buyers premium.
The interior may be black but that’s embossed vinyl, not leather and it looks blue which would be common for Polaris. It also has early style headrests, early bumper guards, missing wiper speed switch, missing black instrument bezels and no engine photos. Even I could make a service book with Hef’s name in it!

Looks like it needs a full restoration. Will be interesting to see what type of premium the ownership warrants!

Based on the above info it appears he did not own the car at the time of his passing which I assume has a good impact on the value.
Estimate $200,000-$225,000 - um, ok.

Wow, it needs lots of work.
Craigslist Ad, 8/27/14, once owned by Hugh Hefner, hasn't run lately, asking $17K with CSi e24 for motor swap.

Cashing in no doubt. I’d rather have Jackie O’s Bav.

In the US Hoffman called it a Bavaria 3.0S.
Q: I noticed '73 CSi's have the early bumper guards. Maybe those 73-specific guards are NA/USA-specific?
Yeah US 2.5 mph crash standards...

You just know Hef would have wanted the largest available bumpers...
Don't bring your UV-lamp along when inspecting the car!
This car was in some Car Museum near St. Louis MO and the asking was around 55k when I reached out to ask about the price

It’s a US 73 CS, not a CSi, and should have the upside down 73 rubber but there are other mods as well.

I feel like I'm living a Seinfeld episode - note that the page from the service book spells the owner's name as Hugh Heffner. Maybe he's friends with John Voight!
Not that there’s anything wrong with that...

Yea, I get it. When you're Hugh Hefner, you don't fill out your own owners' maintenance logbook. Plus the guy was probably distracted by Hugh's, er, associate.
