I got my W597CB brand new from Brother Bobby. Paid $1550.00 with Ovation case including shipping to Hawaii. Was that a fair price?

You press the far right icon, the one with the " " on it.

The issue with Rabbi Robert is that he often advertises the guitar on ebay with nice photos of the stock case. I think the case model number is 9158 or something like that. But he ships you the guitar in a cheaper 8000 series case and then sells the good one seperately to make a few extra bucks. It doesn't always happen, but I know if at least THREE documented cases where people got ripped off like this. His prices can be very tempting, but most times you get what you pay for. I doubt buyers of high end guitars like the 47RI worry too much about saving a few hundred bucks. Once you're over the card max, does it really matter by how much?

Thanks for the clarity. Newbies like me need you more experienced souls to lean on from time to time.

Is there a place where I can reference the cases to see which one I was sent?

Nevermind...I found them. I got a 9158 model.

The ovation website should show what case comes with each guitar. Dave

nope, the ovation website, which sucks in my opinion, only lists the cases. no pics and only a modest description. seems ovation would keep their site up-to-date and also show pics of the accessories...

389? or did they go bigger by then. 389 was a great engine. Hope it's not a 4bbl or you are in for a big ticket rebuild.
(I'm obviously ignoring the topic so that I quit thinking about buying a 47RI.)

I absolutely loved those 8-lug wheels. My neighbor had them on his sporty '65 Catalina 2 + 2 hardtop.

unfortunately the motor is not original. it did have the HO motor but the guy I bought it from replaced it with a 425. it came with a 2 barrel but I replaced it with a 4. rebuilt it when I did it damn almost 20 years ago now so I guess if I have to pay someone to do it right this time it is not a big deal. I put electronic ignition on it and some chrome stuff. most of which has gone to hell by now. when I feel depressed I go on e bay and buy parts and stick them in the trunk. it somehow makes me feel better.

the 8 lug wheels are killer. only the true pontiac fans know about them.

Not bad. I've known them to go for less, but the way the market is you never can tell, and including shipping that's a great price. I know of several guys who've bought stuff from Oklahoma Vintage, and have been very happy.

Nice grab!
