With a reserve and a buy it now price of $2K, I wonder if he will sell it.
(Guessing the reserve is right at the $2,000 price point.)



Good Luck with your bid mannylinda, it is the only one right now.  Hope I am wrong about the price and you get a good deal.

Is the  1 of 40 number the seller is quoting correct?

Eric should know.

Yes, there were approximately 40 or so of those made. I really enjoyed making those and put the best of the best into those. I wish I had one!  lol.  This looks like a nice example with everything in place. Good Luck to the winner of that one. Those were near the end of our run, then sold to Remington.

Thanks Eric.

I thought that maybe there were more of them.  I always thought that they were the best looking of all your variants.

How many of the Mission/Coyote were there approximately?

Eric,
How many of the "Custom"s did you make with the green slide that you had at Shotshow?

 Exact number unknown. . . . . but, only a handful or so were made as they were a pain to do. I had to paint the finish on (Duracoat) . . . not a fan of the product and was too thick, so much fitting had to be done afterward, that's why we tried it to see how they were, but not fun to build so off they went to the back seat. lol.

That "Custom" with the green/gold slide finish was the one and only like that. I liked the finish, but we were trying to become more "standardized" at the time, so I made a "Custom" and sent it out to sort of "get rid of" that slide. It turns of that that green/gold slide has some worth. lol. . . who would have known!?  Ha haa. . . . .
