Gibson L-9S 1975 Cherry Sunburst. NOS just unboxed!

We just received a few very cool old Gibson instruments. This is a 1974 or 1975 Gibson L-9S "The Ripper" Bass. This may be hard to believe..... but I just opened the shipping box to take these pictures. I am basing the year from the packing list that was still on the box.
A picture of the bass inside the case is posted. This is the sealed plastic to a cardboard backer that was inside the shipping box.
I have this listed as mint condition because it is a New Old Stock instrument. But it does have some rust on some of the hardware. This is shown in one of the pictures. I have not done anything to this yet. These parts (washers, nuts) should be easy to replace.
It will ship in the original box.

This includes the Gibson hard shell case and the items inside are.

• Strap that was included from Gibson
• Original operating instructions
• The Gibson booklet is still hanging from the tuner
• cable
• key for the case
