Title: So you are looking for some Rusty Gold!!! Quikold Jr.
Post by: TheGarbageHunter on February 19, 2014, 06:19:36 pm
Saw this cooler on craigslist last week. Located 4 hours north of where I live. Owner just happened to be traveling to Oakland ca on business and agreed to bring it with him. Picked it up this morning. Needs a full on restoration but heck for what I paid it was a no brainer. Lid is toast but body is solid. Will need a new everything but will make a great resto project.

I had no idea that these coolers were this small.

Thanks for all your help Eric!!!!!

Awesome! Keep us posted on the restoration... Can't believe with the internet and all the info out there that it was sent to a scrap yard.
Glad the owner was smart enough to post it for sale... Nice save for sure!

I am sorry you did not know but the Garbage Hunter Never sleeps.

The Garbage delivery packer guy does.

Think about that for a while.
