restored 7 up on ebay

[SIGNGUY]

I'm on the fence with this question as well, but I think it all comes down to what is your intent with the restoration down the road...
if it's for yourself, do what you like.. since it is YOURS to do what you want with.. but if your merely doing it for resale, then you gotta look into what is selling more, what do others like...
Personally here is what I like
Coke Red and white, except for the 81a , keep all red like original
Pepsi, I like the solid, but prefer the two toned and that is what I will do mine in
Dr. Pepper VMC , solid green .. not a fan of the two toned in this one.
RC Cola I like the solid yellow as well
7up VMC 81 I prefer the two toned as the solid white is just to plain for me..

My 2 cents

I like to restore them in the original colors unless it's a Cavalier 72 or 96.

hi all,


now then i just cannot make my mind up on all white

or green and white on the 7up 81's............................


..all white?...or maybe green and white?.... difficult....


maybe if  john ships me a two tone 7up over to me in

England & then Moondawg ships me over an all white

7up over to me, Ill put them in the diner side by side

for say a couple of months & then make my mind up..


naturally, whichever one i decide not to keep I will

return back to the states.............................................


fair enough?


such targetted market research is very expensive, but i will,

in this instance be happy to waive my usual consultancy fee

for this valuable data.


kind regards

I would also be willing to waive my fee if they want to ship them to me.

[SIGNGUY]

sure, whats your address.. I'll get them packaged right up for ya!

[Ken R]

I'll save you a bit of money and you can just ship them to my place!

        OK GP, how about if John and I send over a pair of 7up picnic coolers........... we'll call them "salesman samples"

how bout i send you a high definition picture of each lol

I look at it this way.......

If Chevy came out with a ONLY RED vette for 64, or if Ford came out with a ONLY BLUE mustang in 65, etc... would a car lover really paint those cars green and black?  Sure they may look nice, but it's not what they are supposed to be.

Would a Vendo 39 look good with a embossed Pepsi logo? Sure... if ya like Pepsi, but it's not true to what the machine is....

A machine is only original once.... but a restored machine should be just that... restored to its natural look.

But that's just my opnion,........... what do I know.....

very true thats why im glad i bought a near mint original 7up 81 machine
