I just finshed restoring this pump, was going to display in the house, but wife nixed that idea!! A friend wants to buy it, so I need a fair price. The faces, unleaded signs, sheet metal, ID tag are all original!! The frame has been sand blasted and painted. The computer resets, the hose recoil worksall the lights (3) work with original switch. This is the first pump I have restored so it's not perfect, but almost!!!! Thanks Don

That is an awesome pump and very well done, I would move your wife out into the garage and keep the pump in the bedroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to say it but I agree, Move the pump (very nicely done) into the house and move the wife out! It would be very hard to let that pump go where your going to see it once in a while and it will haunt you. Maybe I'm spoiled but I built a game room for that reason, to display my love of this hobby with signs and such. It now has the walls covered with signs, 3 pumps, 3 air meters, globes,a lubester and 2 oil can racks. I just promise it will always stay dusted and fun.

Good luck on that decision!!
my value on the pump would be 1000 to 1300

Thanks,
Mike Matteson

Don't act in haste, I would put a little more thought into this. A gas pump won't cook, clean the house, iron clothes or wash floors. I think you keep the wife in the kitchen and build an addition to the garage.

There are many things the wife can do for you that a pump will never be able to! Keep the wife & sell the pump. Cheaper in the long run.

I think these pumps look neat with the "eight ball" face plates and the ad glass top. I would value this pump at $2000.00. The ad glass top would bring $400.00 on e-bay by itself.
