Colors of the year....

Post by webhead »

I remember when Desert Gold came out, and I got a 360 with black trim. I was wondering if anyone knows there are any un-common models out there in Blueburst. I think it's one of the best colors RIC produced next to Fireglo, and AmberGlo.

What's Amberglo?

Desert Gold black trim sounds nice... does anyone have a picture of that color combo?

If you look on Mike Parks' site, the one I had is there on his sold page. I bought it off of the guy who bought it from him. And Darth Vader is my father......

The uncommon ones for the COTY's are usually the 660's, 381's, 350's, and 5002's. Maybe also the 340's and 370's.

Absolutley, Don. I've got a 660/12 in Blue Boy, it's fantastic...a real head-turner.
