I'm interested in one of these as well.

Did anyone do the maximum length measurement?

Sure does.  I've seen another Mountain songbook that has a very clear shot of Felix with a reverse T-bird II; can't recall if it's a studio shot though.

As I recall from an interview I read, Felix's first EB-1 was stolen pretty early on in Mountain's career.  Other than Woodstock, which was only their fourth gig(!), I think every other live photo I've seen has been the re-issue.  So I strongly suspect that if he was indeed using an EB-1 in the studio on Sleighride, it was the newer one.

I'll try to dig up that interview.

btw there are two Mountain tracks in the 40th Anniversary Woodstock DVD Box set, on the bonus disc; some cool, rare video of EB-1 #1
