Original JG? '67??

Whoa.

Yup, it's a '67. This one's a re-fin.

I picked it up a few years back. When I got it, it was painted white with spray paint.

I've been pining for a '60s HS equipped 4001 with CB binding in Jetglo & this may be the closest I get to one.

Ya' gotta love the CB against the luxurious Jetglo!!!

Btw, the paint is not hiding any breaks or issues.

I was going to say that this would have been the earliest Jetglo 4001 I've ever seen, but it's a beautiful refin, though.

Thanks guys!

I would imagine that there are some '60s Jetglo's out there Paul.

Ooh, really nice, even if it isn't the original finish.

Do you know what it was originally, or did I miss that info, above?

Originally it was a Fireglo Jeff.

I'm looking for 'before' pics, but am having a hard time finding them...
