Title: YES...I am selling off most of my machines..The Unrestored one's!!
Post by: Seven181 on May 11, 2008, 01:13:26 pm
Gang,

If you have not seen it, you will! I have listed 14 of my machines on Ebay for sale. The item number is 290229863229. I am letting go of most of my unrestored machines and coolers, signs and light ups. I am going to hold on to only my restored machines and the one's that are currently being restored. There are some great machines here. Mills 45, Pepsi Electric Gullwing, Westinghouse 66, True 2 Door Embossed 7up, 7up 33-3D, 2 Cavalier 33's, 2 Soda Cup machines and others. If you know someone interested, let them know.

Brian

By the way, if anyone is interested on here in any of the machines, let me know. PM me and I will work with members here to buy single machines or coolers. I would like to sell them all as one, but will consider selling off individual machines.

Thanks!

Why?????  I sold you the restored 7up vmc33 and now you are selling it.  Are you getting into something else?  I may want to buy it back from you.  Let me know what you are asking for it.  I miss it from time to time.

I would like to see the entire lot, if not then I may consider a few items one by one. Like Jeff says, he is buying some of my rare items that I do not advertise. I just need to make room and have way too many machines and coolers. I am also in the middle of restoring a car that has been in the family for over 70 years. A 1903 Ford Model A. Here is a picture of the original.

Wow!!  What an outstanding car!  ((Model 'T', though.  My 1929 is an 'A'   :biggrin:  ))  That will be a true gem in your collection once it is done (not that it isn't now), and even better that is has been in the family so long!  I have always wanted one of those early cars--I still regret passing on the 1903 Crestmobile I had the opportunity to buy about 10 years ago.   :darn:  I hope you are able to sell your machines to do what you want with the car.  There will always be more down the road if you "need" them!

The car is a 1903 Model A. It is not a T car. It has a 10 horse power chain driven engine. Here is a picture. This was the 121st car made by Ford in Michigan. We have the shipping papers and it is stamped into the metal frame. The frame is cool as it says Carneige steel!

I stand corrected!  Thanks, Brian...I did not realize they used the same designation twice.  My knowledge on the earliest Fords isn't nearly as complete as the '20s and '30s stuff.  Sure would love to see it when it's done sometime!
