Finally Found a 1680 Red!!
After a lot of searching I finally bought a 1971 red sub. I found one from Andrew Shear. He was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and patient with me through the whole process.

Wow! Beautiful Red... congratulations. What a way to start the year. I sold my red 1680 years ago and that's the one I wish I'd kept. Enjoy and wear in good health.

The condition looks fantastic! I've been following up on his website, but now thinking I should just call instead.

I was watching his website for a while and then I decided to call him. He said he hasn't been updating his website lately and had a lot in stock. Give him a call. Thanks
