VMC 81 Generic on Ebay...

[SIGNGUY]

There is a VMC 81 Generic on Ebay right now.. it's been restored , and looks to be done well.. however of course it's restored to Coke..
but being that everything looks restored correctly.. strip it down , repaint it and make it into a Dr. Pepper, or Fantasy machine and everything else looks to be in really great shape, shelves, chrome, compressor.. etc..

No, it's a VMC 88 Pepsi.

I wish it was just sand blasted and primered.  How cool would it look as an Orange Crush fantacy machine?

That is kinda what I was getting it...buy it for 5000,  take it all apart, if the body is in good enough shape, prep and paint it for 1000-1500 and reinstall all the refinished parts that look pretty good and you'd be at less than what a fully restored Coke 81 is going for these days..

It looks like a quality job
