Very few people drive green cars. My wife crashed my first (Green) Citroen SM back in '95. Haven't had a green anything since.
Maybe you see a different shade of green than I do, Jerry.

So true.
Years ago, when I had finished my Sunbeam Tiger's nine months' worth of body work, I polled my friends as to what color it should be painted.
All except one said "BLACK". The one was my wife, who I was then dating. She said "Porsche Guards Red". I had not owned a red car since 1980, and that one was metallic red.
I was concerned about the cop magnet aspect.
I decided to hell with it and did it--in Glassomax urethane--two gallons' ($720.00) worth.
I drove that car for six years after I painted it. I never got a ticket in it.
Now it's the dark blue SAAB. Next car will be anything but the three you mention.

I am always drawn to green cars (I have had several...come to think of it, I have one now!). I had a Telecaster that needed a respray & I chose green...I love the colour & a greenburst would be irresistable. I don't belive in this sort of thing, but being born in May, my birthstone is Emerald...I wonder if there is a connection?
BTW, welcome Brian....

'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Well, those Ed prices are for options, including paint and exotic woods.
"Hand Rubbed" cracks me up. No matter how you slice it, any paint job turns out to be "hand rubbed". About 20% of any guitar's finish is inaccessible to machines. Only fingers fit.
$2200.00 for exotic wood. That's at least $1000.00 pure profit.

An FF??? That's rarer than a '58 325!
Amazing and my congrats on keeping it running!
It does run, doesn't it?
