Who would have thought CDA was a rainbow Weber hotspot?  You've been on a roll lately!

Wow!  Based on your pics, that looks nearly new.  Great find, dude! 
The 18s are really starting to grow on me.  You have a fine collection. :)

  This was a local buy @redkettlerich . An estate sale where you could buy at the preview , he listed the kettle under appliances for $30.00 , he claimed he bought it Lowe's for $100.00 , I didn't have the heart to tell him that Lowe's probably wasn't around when that grill was made , lol

@maceggs - it has very little wear and tear. Wheels are shot but that's it , I can't wait to clean it up.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone,
Merry Christmas

That's a sweet find! Looks like a 1978. The 18's do so much more than they are given credit for. Every civilian Weber owner should have at least one in the arsenal. Every Grillfella should have at least three to four... ;D

Idahawk It looks to me like the lid handle is slightly off center? Meaning closer to the lid vent. If so I also have one (mid 70s 18 red BBQK) that has the same thing going on. Pretty neat!

@Craig , interesting any guesses as to why they are like that ?
