Don't see these show up very often but pretty cool to see one.

At least it's not posed for the pics on a yellow table.

We sold Cobra in 1978, and the local distributor where we got them had one of these. They told me it was not a functional CB, but a gold-plated mockup. Had it on display in a glass case with other merchandise.

Never did persuade them to let me hook it up and see.

I had a gold one at one time. I did not pay a lot for it. It was not perfect. When I got tired of looking at it and tried to sell it I could not barley get the $69.00 I was asking for it.

The only place I could see that thing "fitting in" would be in a 1987 Suburban at a keydown .....
