Title: Ideal 55 Slider - Squirt
Post by: SVOGator on December 05, 2025, 11:40:21 am
Located in Cleveland, OH-IO
Embossed Squirt 55.
Runs and cools/frosts very well, but needs a thermostat.
Comes with keys and allen-wrench (not pictured)
No rust-through and has been sitting in a garage for the last 20+ years.
Looks to be an easier resto, but as much as I love em',  I just need the room.
Happy to negotiate or would consider interesting trades (Oil/Gas signs or vintage Mini-Bikes (Rupp, Lil Indian, Ruttman etc..) or Steelcraft pedal cars)
Asking $550 pick-up in area code 44109 or if you are traveling in, i can meet you outside the city to help cut down on travel time.

I'm mostly a lurker as I have been learning from the pros here since 2010.  Everytime I get a new model machine, I come on here to get motivated and read up. Such a massive amount of knowledge here.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  I think I may be a tad high on the price as I know the market can be like a roller-coaster for original sliders, so happy to negotiate. But I have restored a few sliders to date and this is one of the most solid & complete ones I have come across. (Actually have a Glasco sitting right next to it in primer that is in the final stages of body-work and room is tight  :laugh:)
