Just needs a little work  and will be as good as new  :laugh:   looks like a old barn find

      Seller says "it will look better with proper cleaning".................................... that's good to know  :tounge:

and starting price 145.00  what's he smokin'

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

Add another $120 for fines to the EPA.
 i don't get people. I've seen joke postings, but i really think this clown is serious.

Wonder what sat down or fell on that poor machine. Panels are good but not $145.

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!!

I do not want to restore that , that thing has seen  better days About  50 years back. :oh:

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: 8) :biggrin:

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

   And somewhere is a car,classic no doubt that needs some body work LOL

I bet Rick can restore it! :laugh:

        Rick can make a hot dog cooker out of it!

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?

Rick can turn that into a 81 d NO PROBLEM!

Here is Rick's completed restoration photos.  Man he does some nice work.

Gents we can't just give all the credit to Rick Dale, he has that crack team of professionals like Kowboy, (with a K how gay) and brentley.  they would not be able to get along with out them LMfao
