Actually, that's a modified version of the old red faced 6500. The "power handle" is probably throwing you off. THe first thing I do to my Abu's is take off the stock handle and put a power handle on it. I up graded the drag system on that one. The 6500's of new are now that dark blue I believe. They went from red, to silver, to blue. And now there is an orange one called the "bullet" that is suppose to be just nasty. I saw one the other day and thought it was just cool.[cool] Ofcourse, way back in the day they had green, silver again, red, dull orange, and I even thing they had a purple faced one with a lever drag if i'm not mistaken. I actually have an old green faced Abu from way back in the 70's. Still works like a charm.
