       I mentioned a while ago that I sold Coca Cola Enterprises a restored
Vendo 81B. They were giving it to some oil tycoon who owned lots of gas
stations and mini-marts, sort of a bribe to get a distribution contract with
him.
      Then they ordered another machine for a guy in Nevada who started
with 1949 with 1 gas station.  Terrible Herbst.

      http://www.terribleherbst.com/
   
      Coca cola asked if this one could somehow include his famous logo.
I captured one of the pictures from his web site and had it copied for decals.

       They don't know it yet, but they are not getting an 81b,  I am selling
them an 81A which is usually harder to sell to the general public because the
Coca Cola letters
are smaller and off to the left leaving a blank space in the upper right hand
corner.
       I hope they like it!

Well done!
This goes without saying though. I'm sure the new owner will be quite pleased...

           Will it come with a Thunderbird Around it  laugh laugh laugh



          biggrin Ok here's the story! I bought the Thunder-chicken from a customer 4 years ago for $400.00. and fixed it for under $100.  We used it as one of my 3 "chase cars"......used it to drive to the new-car dealer and left it for a few days until we returned with a sunroof in the new car.

          Car has 105K mi.  clean and runs with plenty of power. I would drive it cross country
tomorrow. California problem......registration is due this month, and it won't pass the Calif smog test, without not 1 but 2 catalytic converters. $500 +-
          I don't know why but the state of California will give me $1000.00 for this 20 year
old car because it failed smog, as long as I can drive to the wrecking yard under it's own power. That's more than I could sell it for privately even if it would pass smog!!!!!
          So...........since the old T-bird is going to get crushed next month, I thought she
should go out with dignity!  Has anyone else ever driven 150 miles home chatting with a Coke machine in the passenger seat?   People look at you funny!  tounge
