Well thanks to BobK and Joey's post I just joined
Bubba and Josh and have become a member of the
VMC Pepsi 88 Owners club. Can't believe I didn't see
it on ebay or even in the for sale ads he posted here.
I check stuff almost every night....
Called the owner, Super nice guy it belonged to his father who had a Ice Cream /Vendors
route in the early 60s here in St. Louis .... Has been in the
family ever since. Great condition really...I think I'm just
gonna buff it out and try and find new decals for the side.
A few little dings... No serious rust will clean inside real nice.
This is a KEEPER!
I called him from work, he emailed me pictures and I told
him I wasn't home to use buy-it-now.. But if he'd end the auction I would buy it at that price $700. I thought it was a great deal.
Thanks guys for posting and giving a heads up! Would have missed it... It was an hour from my home.

Nice score Eric,
Right On!! You finally got your 88. These are really cool machines, I currently have two, so can I be a double member of the 88 club!

Question... The only thing I see is that on the hinges some are missing bolts
(or the heads have broke off) and in a couple spots
there are screws in their place....What can be used to replace
these?... Just a bolt with no slot?... Or does someone sell these exact kind... I need 4.
Thanks guys (and Terry You can be president since you have 2!

Carriage bolts work great for hinge bolts.
