I know this is probably not a lot of guys speed but I just love the look of original pumps. They seem to tell a bigger story than the show car quality restoration of an original pump. I've had this Southwest pump for a while and decided I would like to give it a little paint, but also keep the patina alive on it. I didn't fix the chewed up door or any dents and warping that may have been on it because that look is hard to duplicate. I know it's not a valuable pump but it's got special meaning to me being it was from one of my grandfathers stations he owned and I remember disconnecting it with him and it looking exactly as it is here. No hose, nozzle, or any of the other pieces it may be missing. The only flair I gave it was hand stamping the stainless top. Hopefully I'll find an original nozzle and 2 lead signs to complete the look of it but for now I would say it's one of my most valuable pieces strictly for the sentimental value of it. I hope you guys like it.
