Whale poopie…

I know some peeples are interested in buying a “birth year” instrument, and I may have stumbled into one…

dammit, the pickups may be birth year but the rest is 4 years newer…

 

[WillyW]

Your name isn’t Wiily W? Oh the humanity

check the date, I was unable to buy it when I was 5, I didn’t have that much money saved yet….

I couldn’t read most of it, you’ll have to just trust me.

that a lawsuit Ric copy?

Saw one of these on HW 280 this afternoon. It was in much better/cleaner condition with race decals (#41) and a much nicer, deeper metallic blue w/big white racing stripes. Sounded awesome too. What a cool car.

The one I saw had this same divided colour (on the one I saw, blue & black with white 41) ... super cool -

Kit or real? A real Cobra Daytona is mucho dinero.

Who knows - it didn't look "showroom", but it looked pretty bitchin'.

It is, it turns out it’s a 76.

it’s in near pristine condition,

the shop where my boy gets drum lessons had it in one of the lesson rooms. It belonged to one of the teachers.
I think this a link do some of the particulars…

And moves them, too.

Yeah right. He had dozens of them when he played Dodger Stadium five or so years ago.

 

[MCF]

I sure did Marshall.
And it was glorious!

Huh. My brain is spinning now.

Didn’t he splatter himself in a car crash in 66? Let the conspiracy theorists chime in.

I looked exactly like this but #41 -

I may have found a cab for my Sunn 200S. Any thoughts? Price is a bit high.

I think they are the ones with the “deadly” reputation. Though the ones that have survived this long must have been sorted by now.

This was as close as I ever came to owning one. Copied the paint scheme.

 

[MCF]

I may be looking for a cheapo but loud amp for the practice space the new to me band has. My little Carvin combo is enough, but I don't feel like schlepping it up and down narrow industrial stairs and a long distance through narrow corridors.

Look at Hartke. IMO their combos are good value for the money.

 

[MCF]

Now that I think of it, maybe the original 360 could live there. That would be loud enough.

Ya think?

I’m betting there are copies, but ive never seen one

quick google return shows they are out there though


Neat body style, and a Chevy Cheetah is very similar

In the Jay Leno vid above - at 7:37 they show a pic of one of the only 4 made... the one I saw looked exactly like that down to the decal.., so it was most likely a clone.

Still pretty cool to see though! Especially as a driver

Daytona coupe!! Love those, they only built like 4, rest are kit cars, Factory 5 makes a really nice one…..saw that same one at Pebble earlier this year….Ford 428 big block…..unbeatable on the Mulsanne straight in the 60’s…..
