Title: Another Cavalier 102
Post by: georgescustompaint on February 03, 2015, 05:06:16 pm
A customer of mine has this Cavalier 102.
He got it the way it sits.  He is having a large Gas Pump and Nostalgia Auction in May.
He is going to put this machine in it.

Has anyone seen a 102 two toned like this before?
My guess is it was updated by coke at some point. The side "Have a Coke" lettering looks factory, so I am assuming coke did the upper part white.

I haven't seen the machine in person yet, so I was unable to look closely at the rubber seals etc to see how it was painted etc.

Also.... I would like some input on value... Realistic numbers to sell it. 

It is one of those machines where it's really worth what someone is willing to pay for it, as it's hard to "Compare" it to other machines that recently sold that are similar, as it is a rare machine.

I have an idea of what I think it is worth, but would like to hear everyone's opinion on value.

This is not my machine, just helping out a friend.

Thanks!!!
Shane

It is a collector's machine, which knocks out most of the general public.
It's obviously been repainted - probably by Coke. Inside looks nice and clean.
Value is a guessing game, but I think a realistic sale price that would be fair for both parties would be $12,000-$14,000.
My six cents....

One sold about a year ago for approximately $10,000 plus a 20% buyers premium.

         The one that was in my shop sold for $12,500 restored, that was about 5 years ago.

I would rather have this one than the one that's on eBay!

Tell him I'll buy it once the US-Canadian exchange rate gets better. That is unless he'll take 12,500 pesos then I'll buy it now.  :biggrin:
