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

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.
