The madness started a few years ago with a Commercial 12, then 5665, then Pro12, now a bunch of Pro's and another Commercial 12 joined the flock....

Here is another local Craigslist rescue. Looked clean in the pictures, looks even better in person!

Nothing too special, but this is one of the cleanest C12's I've ever seen!

Sounds like you have had atleast of one of every series,, are there any significant differences between them or are they pretty much the same?

That's a darn good looking Comm 12 of that vintage - rarely does one see that amount of original, yellow paint left on 'em. Very nice find! :fing32:

And I like the looks of those form-fitting covers protecting the real "Gravely Gold" nearby - we know where your heart lies mister - in the land of Pros. :trink39:

Thanks Kip!

Those covers are kinda nifty eh ? They are exhaust covers from the F-15. We replaced the covers with plugs so instead of tossing them, I grabbed them and took them home. They are made of a very heavy and thick vinyl and are made to withstand some serious punishment.
