Default Re: Columbia for an A

About 15 years ago I came across one at the Amherst flea market.It was made over for an A,I didn't pay any attention to it,it had a price of $3000.on it.A few minutes later I ran into someone I knew that had always wanted one,so I told him where it was.He took off at a dead run and owned it in 5 minutes.He said there were some guys eyeballing it and trying to make offers,he stepped up and said if these guys don't buy it I will pay the price.This was at 5:30 in the morning,we used to say if you got there at 6:00 you missed the good stuff.I didn't,and still don't know the real value of one,but he was pretty puffed up and proud that he only paid $3000.for it.I know he put around $85.into it before he put it in his car and it is still going today.
