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! |

Looks great Glen! Who wouldn't appreciate any restored V81 (A,B,C or D) as a gift? Must be nice to have Coca Cola in your life?  |

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!

Great Story ... Just for fun since it's going to be scrapped anyway... you should see what else you could fit into it... Kinda like College and how many can fit into a phone booth or a buddy's 82 Gremlin...
Make sure to keep those photos,,, they are not part of SMC history!!!

I wanted to strap the machine onto the roof, but Terry was not real keen on the idea of helping me lift it up there Would have made a great picture! |
