I would think you could get at least $600.

Asking $575 locally.

From the last pic you posted showing what you did, I think it turned out great.

Pics from this weekend were of a ‘99 Gibson.

You did a good job of it.

Thank you.

I can't say much (and wouldn't since it might seem political and bring the mods in), but I'll just note that, like Chuck, things are quite interesting in the IP sector (hardware, software, mushware, etc.) WRT the current geopolitical situation. They already were, but everything's ramping up.

So far, I haven't had a need/opportunity to buy/sell a TBird, amp, pedal, or accoutrements from/to other countries, so it hasn't impacted me personally...

That reminded me : I sold my 66Gibson EB-3 to a guy in B.C. He couldn't get used to the Gibby neck profile (coming from a P), so he sold it to someone in Nashville.

Cars are for getting from point A to point B. Bicycles, basses and motorcycles... and cute little doggies named Mona!

Basses, books, and babes [named Gretchen who are 5 feet tall and lived with and near me in one legal form or another for 45 years].

Yes, yes it is…

 

[JJR58]

Yes, yes it is…

I’m in selling mode also.
In no position for any gear purchases other then trying to get my ‘71 Precision up to par.
If i can make a sale it’ll get me a new neck for it.

yeah, seems like everywhere you looked (‘round here anyway) this past week….

 

[Ringhammer]

Yeah, back then it was considered pretty old. And back then hardly anyone would buy a car near 100k (most typically got rid of them before then), now that's not a thing at all. My '19 Lariat has 102k and likely runs as well as it did with 25k on it.

My first car (w318). Pretty decent engine for pretty light car. With bigger tires in the back it was a screamer, but got squirrely the faster you went. Short and quick was it's thing.

Yeah, torsion bar front suspension and four drum brakes, maybe not the best with a super fast engine.

Yes, I assumed you were referring to pics I posted this weekend, which were not of the VP.

No, can’t say that I have. If it can be seen from the roadway I’ll have to look for it…

It's tucked away - can't see it from the road. I worked on the faux-bois (fake wood) in the living room. It's made of wood, was painted white somewhere along the line, and we made it 'appear' to be wood using a Decorative Arts painting technique. Faux bois - Wikipedia
