Buying I assume...It's a very desirable model for sure, but sight unseen, anywhere between $500-1500...for starters. jacobs Pepsi lightups are a hot item!  :smile:

If the machine is complete and in good working condition, I would estimate around $1500...
As you know, there are contributing factors and one point of interest is the condition of the light-up Pepsi disk on the front; these can be expensive to replace and difficult to locate at times...
I have seen this model sell higher as well...

WOW, those don't just pop up very often.. gotta get pictures of that ... there was one that someone offered here a while back on the east coast and he was wanting around 2500 for it ? I think? That wasn't too long ago...
They are a cool machine all done up, but Ive heard from some restorers that they are one of the most difficult machines to restore, as the panels are so close to one another that if you don't get it al lined up and straight before shooting paint, that you'l scrape alot of paint off on the doors and acces panels... just what I heard.
Let's see those photos...
