It's definatley a lovely 4001 ... I'm watching this one, but being that it's over in the uk the price is already way too lofty for me at this time ....
It's my Half Century Birthday in 10 days, so if ya'll would like to take up a collection and buy it me, It'd be a Very very merry unbirthday for me !!!!

Jim, I've had my eyes on that too!From others of that same year and color - it is in amazing shape! I would have probably pulled the trigger on it when it was listed before but the shipping will be another $200.
If it helps, I'll be in London the first week of May for the Cream Reunion, and I can carry it back.

Hi Mike,

We should look at doing a Ric Forum (Fireglo) calendar ... there are so many wonderful examples that could be included ...

Jim, the fireglo finish on my 4005 looks just like the newer factory finishes!! It matches up with the v63 I sold Jeff Scott almost perfectly....
