that's probably a taller order than looking for one that is in need of a restoration with the money people spend on restoring them, have you thought about looking for one to get restored??
It costs a fortune, to restore an old gas pump. (per TV) Not including the cost of the un-restored pump. I've seen a few personal ads for restored pumps in the $1600 - $2,000 range.. Times are tuff, was hoping to beat those prices too.
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.
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.Quote:
