If you are a big Sonny and Cher fan or just want a piece of over-the-top '60s style, you might want to head to Florida come February.RM Auctions will be offering a unique pair of 1966 Ford Mustangs convertibles customized for the singing duo at its Fort Lauderdale, Fla., auction Feb. 6-8.Legendary customizer George Barris was commissioned by Ford to dress up the "his and hers" Mustangs for Sonny and Cher. They were used for publicity and appeared in the film "Good Times," the duo's only full-length movie together.The cars were used by Sonny and Cher and later reverted to Barris. Since then, they have changed hands and been restored to their original 1966 condition. The auction marks the first time they have come to market in 25 years.The Sonny car has a Murano gold pearl exterior color, dark brown side panels and an orange-and-gold "fadeaway" color treatment on the wheelwells and grille. The Cher car is a hot pink pearl and candy red blend with deep red side panels. Each car also features the owner's name painted on the side.But the cars really come alive inside. Sonny's Mustang features bobcat fur, buffed leather and a "rustic suede" trim while Cher's is covered in white ermine, hot pink suede and "Scottish leather" upholstery. Both cars also feature 3-inch-long carpet, gold in Sonny's and pink in Cher's.The cars won't be the only taste of Hollywood to appear at the Fort Lauderdale show. The show will also feature several versions of the Batmobile, one of the "General Lee" Dodge Chargers from the "Dukes of Hazard" movie and the jet black 1980 Lamborghini LP400S "Cannonball Run" Countach.
