I rescued this poor, neglected, abused Cavalier 72 today. Found him sitting in a Warehouse all alone.
Glad to be able to report that he is happily sitting in my garage where my dog Rocky can keep him company.  

I will take a Cavalier 72 for under 1000.00 any day of the week.

The little guy is complete and cools like a champ. He is not the prettiest thing but he looks good enough to put a smile on my face.

Thanks guys.

The best is that it was only 20 minutes from home.

Yeah, Just had Murie at my house about a week ago as he had bought a neon sign off me and he picked it up in passing. When he was here we started talking about Coke Machines when he said he had one but had no idea what it was. Told me he had bought it cheap years ago hoping to restore it to keep his beer but bought a kegerator instead. I asked him for pictures when he got home when I told him what it was. Cool machine.

That's a great find, and you can't beat 20 minutes away (well I guess you can!)

Nice find...

I found a Cavalier 72 a few months ago 1 mile from my house.  Guy had a whole loot of machine including a 1 Door Victor. 

Makes you wonder what you could be driving past each day to and from work...

True, that is why I always look into open garages when driving, looking for that hidden treasure. My wife use to think I was looking at girls until I came clean and said I was looking for Coke Machines. biggrin

I have always liked the Cav 72.  Always thought it was underrated and undervalued.
