Well we got it. Actually my brother bought it. American 187 clockface. Pump is unrestored but has had a paint job put on it. Is missing one light shade cover, the access door, and the cylinder in the visi-guage. Otherwise is super nice. Going to be hard to top this one. By the way, it is not for sale.  
Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.

Here is the story on this pump. My brother saw this Wayne 505 sitting by this oil company. Was not in the best of shape. Just a parts pump. So Friday he finally goes in to check on the 505 which was only about 5 or 6 blocks from where he lives. Well he can have the 505 and the owner also has this other pump in the shop. Well it was this pump and was not really for sale but make an offer and maybe he would sell it. Monday my brother goes in, makes an offer and three hours later it is his and the 505. That is the story. Not real dramatic like some of you other guys stories.
