I'll start out by saying I like these coolers, I think they are really cool looking..

but I've stated this before... the panels in these coolers are SUPER THIN Metal and if they are in rough shape.. you'll be spending a TON of time or money trying to restore them...   it's not like restoring the embossing on a slider or other embossed cooler...

so keep that in mind when considering paying more for it just becuase it's Pepsi..

another member bought one a while back, which was an original Orange Crush,, but again the panels where rough... so in my opionion , buy the cooler for the value of the cooler 200-300, not for the signs if they are rough...

on the other hand, I've seen really nice originals with really nice signs in them sell for Huge money.. Orange Crush for $900  and a Cleo Cola original for 1200.. but again the signs where in great original condition..

Just my 2.5 cents! biggrin
