Title: VMC 81 Generic on Ebay... Post by: SIGNGUY on March 06, 2013, 09:31:16 am There is a VMC 81 Generic on Ebay right now.. it's been restored , and looks to be done well.. however of course it's restored to Coke..
but being that everything looks restored correctly.. strip it down , repaint it and make it into a Dr. Pepper, or Fantasy machine and everything else looks to be in really great shape, shelves, chrome, compressor.. etc.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-Vintage-VMC-81-Coca-Cola-Soda-Vending-Machine-/290874689793?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b97b8901 Title: Re: VMC 81 Generic on Ebay...

Post by: bcharlton on March 06, 2013, 11:05:29 am I wish it was just sand blasted and primered. How cool would it look as an Orange Crush fantacy machine?

That is kinda what I was getting it...buy it for 5000, take it all apart, if the body is in good enough shape, prep and paint it for 1000-1500 and reinstall all the refinished parts that look pretty good and you'd be at less than what a fully restored Coke 81 is going for these days..Title: Re: VMC 81 Generic on Ebay...
