Title: Introduction - Ezra
Post by: Ezra on February 01, 2012, 11:33:52 pm
Hi Guys,

I just want to introduce myself. Glad to find you guys and this resource.  I've picked up these 2 soda machines so far.  Can you please comment on what you feel is a fair price for the Coke machine.  My goal is to keep collecting these and then begin refurbishing them once I'm done with the 1965 Cobra replica that is in the background.

Thank You

Welcome to the group!  Pepsi machine looks like a VF90, very similar to the RC VF90 I am about to finish...yours is a can machine though.  Not a whole lot of value on it, but being that it can hold 90 cans, it has some versatility.

Glad to have you.  Unfortunately, collecting soda machines is a little like crack cocaine.  It's addicting.  We are working with rehab organizations for a fix.  I'll keep you posted.

Good luck.

WElcome!!!
Im sure others here can tell you what that Coke machine is worth, as prices in my area are NOT in line with that of most areas. (Im in Canada)

Welcome and glad you found the board. What powerplant is going in the Cobra?

Sorry if this is a repeat video for you. The  first half has some great factory assembly footage of 65 Cobra's.

The drivetrain is from a 1989 Mustang GT .  Its a 302 .  That is plenty of power for me.  My goal is cruising............MPG is my focus. Good times!

Great choice on the 302. Big block Cobra's run out of fun quick in everyday driving.
