something old, something new...

Rick, there is a guy out in california that will pay a minimum of $1,000 for a Clark Custom. He's offered me $1,500 for the 1968 (it was a full custom for the time and too many details to go into here). The Series 70 was a mild job done to customer request, ambi safety, trigger, ramp, sights and tune, so it doesn't have the Clark name, but does have his mark inside (and I have the paperwork). Clark had 3 addresses, the first was Shreveport (when he worked out of his house and the tailgate of his truck at the matches), and the 1968 is one of these. In the 70's he was south of town, in Stonewall, I believe (but am probably wrong), and since the 1980's he's been in Princeton LA (he died a couple years ago and his son now has the shop and his daughter has a store in Bossier). $750.00 would be a good price for any Clark in reasonable condition. The Series 70 belonged to a local law enforcement, got carried alot, but seldom shot. The 1968 came from an estate and probably had less than 100 rounds through it when I got it and it is as fine as they came from that vintage.
