Disagree; I Think It's an Interesting One

This one is interesting to me, with or without the Parnelli Jones provenance [using the term loosely].

Interesting to see what looks like a standard-issue Viceroy, but with a lower serial number and (most likely) with an earlier production date. Perhaps further confirmation that Heuer was making the Viceroys, well before the Viceroy promotion (which began in May 1972).

In my view, this one is not worth the $12,000 that seller started with, but there is no downside in a purchase at under $1,500.

: I really don't think it was worth more than that.
: In my opinion it's just an 1163 with a messed up caseback.
: Nothing special about it.
: Just my opinion.
