I want it, but I question if its real with no photos of the whole machine. Coca Cola looks like it's decaled and not embossed.

The cool factor is wooff the scale on a victor, but I'll use my Gas grill and Cav 64, and pocket the 50k, I don't have for one.

Agree with Kilroy. Very cool but not that cool.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001... Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.

Hey guys this belongs to a good friend of mine and he is not saying it is the real deal but I'll tell you that I have seen it in person and it is a very nice piece and he is not asking 50K for it. He has been in the business longer than most of us by a long shot. He did this for himself several years ago as his own personal piece but I be-leave health reasons are why he might be selling it. It ranks high on the Cool factor and I was impressed when I saw it for the first time about 4 or 5 years ago. Just saying he's a good guy and not someone that would try and rip someone off, these are good people. I have bought thousands of dollars worth of machines in the past from him and everything has always been what he said it was.

It does read "Vintage Coca Cola Victor Cooler Grill". I see how that could would lead someone to think it was a grill originally.

A fantasy piece no doubt. But I like the addition of the soda/beer fountain! Would like to have something like that for my basement bar especially it that tap will accommodate a keg of my favorite barley based liquid. It will be interesting to watch this one. I do agree that the post should make it more clear that this is a fantasy piece but if you are looking for a real Victor Cooler Grille and know the value/rarity of the item, you better know what the real thing looks like!

Auction closed at $9,600 and reserve not met! I was thinking about going for this item but after communicating with the seller and finding out that the reserve was set at $10k, I did not bother. Very cool fantasy piece, just not $10k cool! I sure hope the people bidding on this cooler know that it is a fantasy piece and not a real Victor Cooler Grill.
