Very **RARE** REO Find - Thanks Jan!

[Cliven]

I am the Luckiest man alive and once again I owe all the thanks to our wonderful Jan! Thank you Jan, for being so Kind, Generous, Caring and all of the above. You are a very special Reonaut.

It has now been a little over a year since I found REOville, (or REOville found me). Since my very first REO, I saw and have always wanted the Gold Anodized Grand. I figured that during the time Robert was selling the Anodized, he had to have sold at least 50...maybe a 100 of these so SOMEONE had to have one sitting in the bottom of a drawer, back of a shelf...collecting dust and needing some TLC. So, last week I started my search. I placed a post on the Reonauts FB page as well as a WTB in ECF. Yesterday I get a PM from Jan stating that she has a Gold Anodized that she would part with. SCORE!!!

This is a VERY RARE find! Jan bought this over 3 years ago AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED!!! NEVER seen a drop of juice. Never had an atty screwed onto it. Never been fired!!! I won't get it until tomorrow but I couldn't wait to share. Here's some pics that Jan sent me to show me this Beautiful Unicorn! This will NEVER leave my side!

Thanks Jan. You are the Greatest!

Beautiful!! so glad you were able to get this!!! But sad to hear they're rare.

It's funny cuz I was just wondering if they did gold anodized ones. I have a friend who is a huge Saints fan, so that would be great with a black door. Or black reo with gold door. If I can manage to get my reo before visiting them I can probably convert them if her hubby will build the coils for her, cuz I know she won't.

Wow what a great story, love happy endings!

Looking good, if it was the lp/sl in that color I'd love to have one as well.

Jan to the rescue once again!
Cliven, I can relate to your joy. Jan was my Angel as well. A little over a year ago I was lucky enough to score my first mini woodvil. It got stolen at work after only having it about a week. I was totally bummed big time and expressed my depression here in the 'ville. Lord & behold I get a PM from Jan offering me one of her minis!!! I couldn't believe it. She sent me a Utile/Ebony 14500! I love that little woody and is proudly on display in my avatar.
Jan has sent me little bottles to try, cellucotton to try, she is the best. Big heart and very caring above and beyond.
Enjoy your unicorn!
