Title: updated pictures of my $150.00 cavalier CS80E
Post by: randy on August 08, 2010, 10:02:43 pm
I picked up this cavalier css80e about two weeks ago, it needs to be restored but is a good builder. The panels are straight , except for a few small dents. I'm saving this one for a future project. I gave $150.00 for it.

Neat looking machine and neat looking car in the background. What kind is it? Looks like a chevy maybe?

Looks like a solid machine for the money!
Can we assume it's complete and functioning...?
I also like the RC transitional machine in the background!
The car goes without saying; however, you'll need to mix things up a little and add some color by acquiring some other soda brands! The "red" is a little over powering!

This machine is pretty much complete, it does need the lock and key and a coin box. It runs but i'm not sure how good it cools. I bought it as is, knowing it needed work. It is a future project and it was only a few miles from my house. I love red.

Cool cars and cool soda machines go together like baseball and hotdogs.

Update on my cavalier cs 80. I done a good cosmetic paint job with automotive paint, i did all the work myself. I did'nt remove the liner on the inside, but i did paint the machine inside and out. I also added a light up sign.  It displays very good. Still needs more work but i'm getting there.

Nice price. I have a CS80C and I wish I only paid $150 for it!
