I have an opportunity to buy this pump at auction, however i don't buy many pumps & don't even know what make or model this one is...an approximate value would be nice...is worth around $500???? Thanks in advance...DT
Looks like a Gilbarco 86 Cool pumps
Yes it is a Gilbarco 86. I seen them go for $800.00-$1400.00 depending on codition.
I'd sell mine for $1400 in a heart beat
I would pay easily give $500 for this pump. I think the price range is 650-900 as long as the trim is in good shape.
In today's pump market I'd say that's a $700-$800 pump.
If you are going to buy pumps you need a copy of my Gas Pump ID book, don't leave home without it.
Page 163, and I valued it unrestored at $1200.

I have had 2 in the last year, Both very nice clean pumps, advertised everywhere and FINALLY was able to get $500 and $550 each. everybody asks for them but when you get one nobody seems to want one for more than $500. the "Book" is way off on this one too
Thanks for the info guys...i now feel comfortable knowing maker & model of this pump & what i should pay..............
I will second what Jack said, if you even have a slight interest in gas pumps, get the book. I have about 30 books on the hobby, a lot of them cover stuff I do not collect but they are interesting to look through plus they give you a clue about stuff you see in antique shops and shows. They can help you spot a deal or prevent you frome getting burned. Most of the books are guides, as the prices can vary a lot by the economy and condition/ location of the item.
I build model gasoline pumps and I've been using Jack Sim's first book to the point here the darn thing is falling apart ! I finially bought Jacks second book . I'm trying not to be so rough on that edition Jack .
