Pre 163 silver Alexander BBb

Post by tubadoctor »

Just seeing if there’s any interest out there. I’ll post a link to some photos soon, but there are some if you search my posts on the tubenet discussion forum. Would like to get 4000 to help fund purchase of a CC again, but I’m in no huge rush or need to sell just yet. I’d like to have a killer CC and a killer BBb, but if I end up keeping both killer BBbs I won’t be too upset. Please PM me with any questions. Horn is located in upstate (ish) NY. I can ship for purchase but would prefer not to ship for tire kicking purposes. Thanks!

yes, heavy_metal... that is the correct thread.

Since then, I've had two more Alex gurus look at it and guess it was closer to WWII, but apart from that I'm not entirely sure... Thanks!
