I want one, but atop bigger Sunn cabs, 2000s instead of 200s. Now THAT'S a goddamn rig.
GE used that amp as one of the development platforms for their 6550 variant.....6 X 6550 with a 6L6 as a driver....now THAT’s what I’m talking about!!
Such a classic look! I really loved Cobalt flats on mine.
LOL - that's exactly what I did on a follow up post. I had 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a '71 Challenger, a '72 Charger and a 1973 Cuda. IMHO - Mopars best offerings came late to the game in the 1970's but may very well be the best of the best.
Yup. Rich loooved those tubes. He knew them inside out. Wish I had absorbed a tenth of what he knew.GE used that amp as one of the development platforms for their 6550 variant.....6 X 6550 with a 6L6 as a driver....now THAT’s what I’m talking about!!
That is such a bádâšß amp!
yeah, originally designed as a servo motor driver tube......bodacious heft...the new ones don’t come anywhere near...why wouldn’t they excel at audio considering the fact that a speaker is an induction motor with a stationary rotor...

I wanted(note past tense-never got)a 68-ish Satellite/Coronet. It woulda looked stock but been a sleeper.
yep, same on the Pelham Blue. But my like is increasing.
if I changed something to blue it would have been (GMH) Pacific Blue to match my 84 Commodore. Pelham Blue would be considered now. Actually not a million miles apart, Pacific a bit bluer I think.
(Pacific Blue is a metallic and the code is 2B035. IF that means anything to anybody)
If you google PB, Inverness Green, or Kerry Green, the paint chips/cards show a lotta variations in shades and paint codes.
The PB on the Epi Custom Shop LE is more like your PAC Blue; a bluer blue with metalic flakes. The BP on the Gibson NR reissue is definately a lighter shade.
I got a '69 Coronet my senior year of high school. Petty blue 2-dr hardtop, six-pack hood, and a 318 Interceptor (from a crashed THP Diplomat) w/4 barrel & headers.
Awesome car.
By the time I got rid of it several years later, the 318 & associated driveline bits had been replaced with a slightly hopped up 440, as well as upgraded power disk brakes & some other goodies. Really loved that car
ADDENDUM: I actually got a 69 Ford Econoline van so I could carry all my bass playing gear. My first van of at least 9 vans I've had over the years. So much for having a muscle car(sigh).
See many 60’s rides in your area? Last I remember there were but it WAS the mid 70’s
Yeah, I can never align the colour on the chart to the colour I think it is / should be
The '69 Coronet was a great muscle car. Sounds like you darn near made a Super Bee out of it!I got a '69 Coronet my senior year of high school. Petty blue 2-dr hardtop, six-pack hood, and a 318 Interceptor (from a crashed THP Diplomat) w/4 barrel & headers.

It's amazing to see what the muscle cars go for these days. A nice Coronet can bring $50,000 in today's market. And to think we drove used ones in high school in the mid to late 1970's because they were relatively inexpensive to purchase and easy to find. I drove a Mustang, the high school parking lot was full of Mach I, Cuda, Camaro, Charger, Coronet, GTO, Firebird, Javelin, Demon, Chevelle, Roadrunner, and GTX cars. With the exception of VW Bugs there were very few imports in the student parking area. The faculty parking was the opposite, full of Honda, Toyota and Datsun cars.
Clearly you don't understand fashion...
It was a solution to a problem. A cheap car that gets good gas mileage. It was a success in that they sold a lot of them and made good money doing so. In fact, that and the minivan are what saved Chrysler from bankruptcy (along with a number of operational efficiencies).
I don't know if anyone here has had any dealings on FB Marketplace ( I have not to this point)
There is an ebony VP Thunderbird in Jacksonville NC. with a case for $450.It's been up for over a month.
I have a black one already so it's not for me...just passing that on if anyone is close and needs to snag one.
I'm sorta on the lookout for another white VP TB that is used,a little banged up and ready for a face lift.
Cheers!

Class of ‘76. My high school parking lot had several Mustangs and Chevelles handed down from Mom and Dad or bought for + or - $500. My bro had a ‘66 Charger bought from a neighbor for $300. A lot of Bugs too. I had one buddy who had a red ‘66 Mustang convertible, pretty beat, that he paid $350 for. I don’t think any of those have survived. If a kid got a new car, it was usually a vomit green Pinto. I’m certain none of those lasted more than 10 years, thank god.
