You could make a Pelican gun case work for a NR. It's expensive and you have to customize the foam yourself. Other than that, it will work perfectly. You can even get a tan one so it kinda looks like a Gibson case. Covering the foam with pink satin to get the full Gibson experience would take a bit of work, but I'm sure it can be done well enough.

Would need a shroud though?
 
Funny thing with orange, generally I don’t like them but others I like a lot.

Your AMX I like a lot. Holden’s “Lone O’Ranger” I like a lot. The modern “burnt orange” colours I don’t like at all. But I guess one day I’ll see one I do like.

Restored back in original Lone O’Ranger - so probably better than original paint.

1970s paint colour names! 🤣
Holden had a green they called “March 17th”. 🤣
and a lilac they called “Barney’s Shirt” (after a designer that wore a shirt that colour they mixed a paint colour to match! It didn’t make production but it’s on a couple of paint test cars that were on sold to the public).
Not a big fan of burnt orange on cars, but this orange is gorgeous!

when are you going to get one of those? we could race..
 
We only got 24 AMX’s… some of those will be destroyed by now I’d guess, but some others will have been privately imported so probably still around two dozen.

 
There are also custom makers. I suppose if I dropped $7500.00 or more, it could be worth getting a good case made if it would be going anywhere on a regular basis. Personally, if I ever buy a vintage NR, I can use the case from the ‘13, ‘21, or a BaCH.
Not mine(52").
 
Just under the wire for Tue Twosday or whatever …
