The $145 is what he'd need to pay you to haul it to the scrapyard.  smile

Reminds me of a generator unit we received out in the field on deployment that was dropped off the back of a big truck!  Haha.  Whatever he's smokin' is probably the reason it looks the way it does!! happydrinkers

Since the slant shelf uprights are some of the most popular models this is obviously an attempt to develop a slant shelf chest cooler.  This guy is ingenious!!

The thing looks like it was hit by a car!  I guess you could cut the embossing off the side and turn an Orange Crush V-81 into a Coke V-81! laugh Cool biggrin

I bet rick could turn it into an original Harley Panhead and sell it for $10K!!! laugh  After all, once restored, it'd be at least worth 4 or 5K, right?  But as a Harley, holy cow, you can double that one!!!

Ok, this Rick bashing is cracking me up, so I gotta throw this one out there.  Do you guys recall the Pawn Stars episode where Rick restored the Coke machine?  First off, even my novice experience could see that the one he presented as the "restored" machine was not even the same machine at all.  Then, if I am not mistaken, in the later episode where he restored the barber chair, if you look in the background, I could swear that the original unrestored Coke machine is sitting against the building.  Can someone please confirm that one for me or am I just seeing things?
