In 2008 I finally built my garage/workshop that I'd always wanted. I began looking for unique items to hang on the walls, anything that was old & cool. Then one day soon after I was at the local auction and there was an old gas pump. I knew nothing about it, except that it said Mobilgas Special. It was old & rusty, but solid, and I just had to have it for the garage. I paid $600 for it. Within a week I heard thru the grapevine that I had paid way to much for this pump, but I shrugged it off and began taking the pump apart. Not knowing anything about restoring a pump, I just did what I thought was best. Sandblasted the entire thing, did bodywork, and painted. It actually turned out real nice. It wasn't until some time after the pump was completed that I learned this M&S 80 pump was what they call a script top, and very desirable. I've been hooked ever since.
