Thread: Old vintage/restored Gas Pumps

Tweet

My little brother has two bubble gum machine gas pumps for sale. one is a sinclair and the other is polly gas. both work are about 7to 8 ft. tall (not sure). looks like the real thing with all the bubble gum out. he is asking $500.00 each.

GILBARCO Gas Pump 1960's Gilbert & Barker

Recently saw a eptsode of American Restorer where a guy who has 160 cars fully restored and functioning wanted 2 visible gas pumps. AR happened to have 1 that he restored and sold to the guy for $4100.00 and found another that they restored.
They were flawless and better then new. This old timer was with his dad when he bought a new 41 caddy. He now has 35, 41 caddies in his collection. I just can't get over the number of guys that collect so many cars.

Are you talking about visible pumps that you pump the gas by a hand lever? If they are complete, $500 per is a steal if they still have the glass. I just picked an unrestored, non operational one for a friends antique shop and he was glad to pay the $1000 asking price to the farmer who had it laying in the grass.
