If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

my son said, Bowling Green?

Yes, Bowling Green, Kentucky. Well, that's where current examples are built. I'm not sure if this vintage was built there. But, that should be enough of a hint to know the car's make and generic model.

I dont know of aNY CARS MADE IN BOWLING GREEN

LOL That's where Corvettes are made. Technically, mine was not made there. They didn't start making Corvettes there until 1981. Still, that shoulda narrowed it down to Corvette! Everyone knows that they're made there! It's also where the Corvette Museum is.

Also, I have a question... Technically, I have a few of them.

Do you have files? Do you know how to dress fret ends? Do you know how to set intonation - even if it's a different system than you're used to (but still easy)?

LOL Did ya give up guessing yet?!? I'd have thought Bowling Green would give it away.

I made a short link - so that you could mouse over it and NOT know what the car is. If you're done guessing and just want to see a pretty sweet car, one unlike many others, then you can click the link:

Otherwise, keep on guessing. (I'm likely to go to bed early tonight.)

Other than the basic model, there's zero chance you'd have guessed the full name. I know I wouldn't have guessed the full name. I didn't even know this existed before I saw it at auction and read about it. I then did some more reading, deciding on a value first and then bidding second.

I paid a lot less than I was willing to pay. I'd have been willing to pay up to about 150 for it, because there are no other examples left. It was one of three and now it is one of one. It's certified authentic and has been seen in all sorts of magazines and TV shows.

The price surprised me. Well, sorta... It was pretty late in the day, on a Thursday, so not too many serious bidders were in the building. That's probably why I paid as little as I did.

By the way, that's where you find the best deals. Early in the day, late in the day, or days when they're not doing a bunch of featured auctions. The powerhouse bidders come in at certain times. There's a definite pattern to it.
