That's a beauty. When did they discontinue the 4005? I didn't realize that they were still made in '79.

Overpriced.

I know they officially discontinued them in 84, but I have no idea when they actually built the last one. Probably before 84, from what I've heard.
That thing is spotless. I love it.

"Overpriced"
I had some offers of $6k for my '79 years ago, so I'm not sure how overpriced, if at all, this one is...

I think it's priced on the money if you ask me.

A beaut!

If you can pick a solid 60's version up for this kind of money, then a 70's version should be cheaper.

This one is in great condition though.

I've reports of 4005s made into at least 1982, not counting a couple of custom-made ones at the factory in the '90s.
