Newuser-- Yes, i read that somewhere up here..You're absolutely right..Whatever the case, she's gone. :( Thanks for all your input and responses gentlemen !

Don't feel so down about it. It wasn't a COB shell anyway. ;) Lugs were not period. You can get a nice Supra at a good price if you keep your eye out. The COB pre 64 shell doesn't come up as often and nowadays seem to be between 600 and 800 US dollars. A bit more than that if it's got the transition badge. If you know what to look for you can sometimes find a COB shell listed as plain old Supra-phonic, but that's very rare. I bought my COB shell for under 400 USD because seller thought it was a Luddy and I'm sure I would have gotten it way cheaper only another bidder obviously spotted it too and I had to outbid him for it. Anyway, that's something to be on the lookout for when finding these COB shells.
