Title: GE Pepsi Cooler Post by: Eric on June 18, 2008, 11:02:32 pm Well took a little drive in Alton IL to bid on a Pepsi 81... didn't get it :down:
the “Cowboy” got it... but this little sweetheart was sitting in the corner... I've been wanting one.... and I did drive all that way.... and I couldn't come home with nothing..... what would the wife say? soooo :oops: Anyway... no rust other than the light surface rust on lids... and character scratches.. this was the non-electric model! awesome embossing everywhere... Title: Re: GE Pepsi Cooler Post by: coke_and_stuff on June 18, 2008, 11:20:32 pm Thats a nice buy Eric, what did the Pepsi 81 bring? I bought another toy tonight as well, It just never ends?

Title: Re: GE Pepsi Cooler Post by: Eric on June 19, 2008, 10:43:52 pm Well... This will sound cheap... and it was... the Pepsi 81 sold for $1400.00 It was just me and this other guy or Cowboys “buyer”.... It was missing the mech and the inner bar that connects to
the mech thing that trips the stack.... nice and straight with no dents or serious rust. I wanted it to resell.. but I didn't do my homework and chickened out... :down: I later talked with the buyer... turns out he sets up at Chicago and is the one who made the embossed “Squirt” 39s... seemed to be a real nice guy and told me he would have gone to $2800 which is still a good buy I guess... After that bid the auctioneer put the cooler up so I got it for $500.. a little much I thought... but I couldn't go home empty handed ... Turns out when I told the wife that it was a double dot and she came down to the basement and gave it a look over she really likes it... So it (and I) get to stay! I still have the Pepsi 81 Joey traded me and need to work on it when the Nichol Kola and 7up is done. It has a couple dents and a couple tiny pin holes around the belt so I worry on how bad it may be once I get into it.. but I guess it's nothing that can't be repaired..... So I don't feel too bad not winning.... and I think he's interested in my rt56.. so I may get that one sold without putting it on ebay. Title: Re: GE Pepsi Cooler Post by: coke_and_stuff on June 19, 2008, 10:49:00 pm How much on the 56?
Joey Title: Re: GE Pepsi Cooler Post by: sodaworks on June 20, 2008, 09:16:22 am Nice GE Pepsi cooler Eric.
I have one that's the refrig. version and in very good condition. Thinking about unloading it. Title: Re: GE Pepsi Cooler Post by: bcharlton on June 24, 2008, 02:38:50 pm Here is the GE Double pepsi version restored. It may be the most colorful restoration in my collection. Get a good pinstriper to do the embossing. You may need a secound mortgage.
