Title: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: TheGarbageHunter on February 23, 2013, 06:31:48 pm I rescued this poor, neglected, abused Cavalier 72 today. Found him sitting in a Warehouse all alone.
Glad to be able to report that he is happily sitting in my garage where my dog Rocky can keep him company. I will take a Cavalier 72 for under 1000.00 any day of the week. The little guy is complete and cools like a champ. He is not the prettiest thing but he looks good enough to put a smile on my face. Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!!

Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: TheGarbageHunter on February 23, 2013, 07:56:35 pm Thanks guys.
The best is that it was only 20 minutes from home. Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: mygoose101 on February 23, 2013, 08:16:20 pm Yeah, Just had Murie at my house about a week ago as he had bought a neon sign off me and he picked it up in passing. When he was here we started talking about Coke Machines when he said he had one but had no idea what it was. Told me he had bought it cheap years ago hoping to restore it to keep his beer but bought a kegerator instead. I asked him for pictures when he got home when I told him what it was. Cool machine.

I found a Cavalier 72 a few months ago 1 mile from my house. Guy had a whole loot of machine including a 1 Door Victor. Makes you wonder what you could be driving past each day to and from work... Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: mygoose101 on February 23, 2013, 10:17:27 pm True, that is why I always look into open garages when driving, looking for that hidden treasure. My wife use to think I was looking at girls until I came clean and said I was looking for Coke Machines. :biggrin:
Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: Blind1968 on February 23, 2013, 11:13:15 pm Nice Score !!! All day every day!
Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: BrianS on February 23, 2013, 11:53:25 pm I have always liked the Cav 72. Always thought it was underrated and undervalued.
Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: kbareit on February 24, 2013, 06:25:54 am Nice find, I'd take them all day at that price.
Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: TheGarbageHunter on February 24, 2013, 09:41:17 am Thanks a lot guys.
I just love the hunt. Love it man!!! Maybe to much, it can get obssesive. But I know a few guys with greater problems. I can live with this one. Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: BONOVOX on February 24, 2013, 03:03:47 pm My wife tells me I'm crazy... I tell her I'm not....
She says Crazy people don't know their crazy.... :glare: Title: Re: Garbage Gold Strikes Again!! Post by: sodaworks on February 24, 2013, 09:17:14 pm Need to restore that 72 Victor.
