I studied, read, listened, then looked high and low and saved and scrimped to be able to own one.
Arrived this afternoon and for 32 years old it's in better condition than I even hoped for! Guess one is never too old to get excited about a Colt, huh? :o Here's a quick pic:

That's beautiful!
But I think you need to forward it to me. As a graduation present. 1978 was the year I escaped graduated from High School.

Awesome catch !
It reminds me of the one I had to sell due to future ex-wifes dental bills. I never even got to shoot it ! 
Fast forward...I do have a series '80 Golt Cup & couldn't be happier with it. 
Are you gonna shoot that one or look at it ?

That's one hell of a nice looking pistol! Anyone would be proud to own such a beast. |

I picked up a 1976 mfg. Gold Cup a few weeks ago. I too have wanted one for a LONG time. A 70's series Combat Combat Commander is next.

How much is an old series 70 GC worth? I have one that is 98%, it does have Pachmayer grips instead of the factory woodies.. Pops put those on and I haven't a clue where the originals are..
