Like others have said, if YOU like it , buy it and do what you want with it.. if your buying it to fix it up and think your going to make money on it,, then don't.. this model has a long way to go to be worth anything on the collectable market...make sure all the parts are there as there are not repro parts other than a hose and nozzel and decal for this pump.

What about glass for the front? Can I just have some panes of glass cut at a glass place or is there a little more stuff needed? Also anyone know what model or who made this? Just tyring to do some searches to see exactly what one looks like all put together.

Here is a link for ebay for the aeroshell decals. The pump looks like it was blue before so it wasn't originally phillips 66 so you can do it in anything you want.

What do you think it was? Amoco maybe? The blue paint actually looks like it is in good shape from what I can see from the pics. Still need to see though if I will even be allowed to buy it. My parents are watching what I buy now since I got the pepsi machine. (they did not know I had it untill a few weeks before I moved out for the summer)

Omaha Nebraska. Thanks for the link but that one is out of my price range. I could put up an ad on craigslist and see what pops up. Who knows maybe those ones that were at the gas station they recently tore down might pop up. The ones they had were pretty close to the one I wanted to get. Oh well I will find something some other time.

So maybe it's a good thing it was sold.  I speak from experience that it gets old fast when when your family thinks asking "what??? Are you opening your own gas station?" is funny and original

lol! They all ready did that when I bought a score projector from a bowling alley. Got the projector wired up so it will light up, redid the motor except for messing up a tiny little shim that now makes the motor rattle and I got the two actual brunswick scoring chairs and about 26 bowling pins sitting around it. It actually makes a great desk to use a laptop on because of the angled top.

Can you project the laptop through the projector?
