Title: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: coop6008 on June 23, 2010, 09:48:33 am I just purchased this cooler for 150.00. It is in great condition and only has surface rust. I would like to find out if this was a good deal and I would also like any info that someone may have regarding this cooler. I'm new to the hobby and I'm excited to be on this forum.

Welcome! You gonna restore it? Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: BrianB on June 23, 2010, 10:41:35 am For $150 I think you did ok. Like Eric mentioned, those end panels make it worth the purchase price alone.

Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: coop6008 on June 23, 2010, 11:47:18 am Thanks for the feedback. The cooler is embossed on both sides and I do plan to do a partial restoration... just enough to cool drinks under my patio....don't know if I want to do a full restoraton. Heres a couple of pics from when I got it home.

I think you did well. Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: gasmelincelr on June 23, 2010, 06:47:18 pm That thing is super cool.
Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: coop6008 on June 23, 2010, 08:17:33 pm I have wanted this thing since 1995. It was located in a old gas station that was closed down in 1988. I bought a Gulf oil rack from the owner in 95 and that when I spotted it. My wife finally gave me the green light. thanks for all the feedback.
Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: SIGNGUY on June 24, 2010, 08:39:16 am Yes, very cool cooler,, kinda big, but if you have room for it clean it up and enjoy it..
Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: johnnyfizz on June 24, 2010, 01:19:35 pm Nice cooler.Likely quite rare. It's interesting that it was still there after all those years,since 1995,and obviously before that.I would have never lasted that long.
Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: Jim on June 24, 2010, 10:23:08 pm Awesome Cooler, Congrats ! ! !
I usually don't complain about much here at SMC, but as an avid skateboarder, I hope the boards were not damaged ! ! ! Title: Re: Barq's Quikold 2000 Post by: coop6008 on June 25, 2010, 09:02:42 am I know, I need to get some casters but after trying to move it by myself a couple of times I had to have something to help me. Good thing is they are cheap skateboards. LOL
