    you need to hit the swaps... green (or gold) is/are all i see... it is the other colors that are harder to come by. (at least in my neck of the woods)

  9. I'm not 'sledging' you, but do a search back through previous HAMB threads, as this was mentioned a while back, and I'm sure there is a HAMBer who's Shop has them at a good price.....just a suggestion.

    Cheers,

    They don't seem to show up that often on ebay, but i've seen some good ones. I picked up this beautiful dark teal one a while back... it's transparent green with blue flake in it... amazing color. When I first got it, it was actually a brownish color... I was kinda disappointed in it. I realised it was grimy, so I took some polishing compound to it, and it really came alive...

    Anyhow, they're typically $30-75 on ebay when they show up.

  17. Yes, the shop is Rocco and Cheater's, located in Birmingham, Alabama...they were an east coast supplier in the '50s/'60s and when the gas crisis dried things up, they just kept their stuff...Pinstriper, who owns it now, is the son/nephew of the brothers who originally had it...it's a time capsule of SPEED!!!
