Picked up today.
Wayne 60 that I came across a few weeks ago.
It is a fleet pump taken out of service 30 years ago.
It has been stored in a barn ever since.
It is all complete including the original pump and motor mechanism (Really Heavy !!)
Needs one hinge, otherwise perfect.
Always looking for more pumps, meters and signs.
Some say it is a problem, I say it is a solution

That is my son and we both enjoyed the experience. He is 4 and talks about going "gas pumpin". He can spot one on the side of the road like a bloodhound.

Thanks, Phil

I'm with Phil! That is one of the best looking "barn finds" that has been shown here in quite some time! That kind of finish looks great and is impossible to duplicate. Just give it a good cleaning and display it "as is". Great find!

Reminds me of the old days.
Originally from Philadelphia, home of Sunoco, who probably purchased more 60s than any other oil company, moved to St. Louis. Was back in Philly visiting my brother, but still looking for pumps (this was about 1991), found a Sunoco jobber who had a large room filled with 60s, VRs, clock face, display and display with the panels covered with a sheet of metal with the Sunoco logo on them. Unbeliveable, wonder what happened to all of them.
