Hello,

I am starting to build a gas station. I would like the signs to be rough, and not super expensive. If you can, would like them to be shipped. I would prefer that they would be 48'', or 42''. I am only looking for 2 pumps, 1-2 signs, and 1 pole. I would like a hanging pole. I would like the pumps to be unrestored. I will trade, but I do not have much.

Thanks!!

...there's a Mobilgas pump plate on eBay right now, as well as a piece of the Mobilgas ad glass that is shown in one of the pumps in the picture...and here's your shield:

That is way out of my price range, and I am looking for a rough one. Thank you though!

I would buy it, if I was closer, and if I had the money.

Thanks

GSG......Wayne 70's really aren't that hard to come by for a decent price. Jack's second book has them at either $600 or $700 and with the economy the way it is who's going to pay full retail.
I got this one a few weeks ago in pretty nice original condition for $400.

Nice pump! Do you know anybody who has one that needs restoring? I am just looking for a rustic one. I do not care for mint stuff.

Thanks

You might wanna start with a model station. Figure out what ya really want and save save save! No sense in buying junk now cause you haven't saved! It'll be worth it!
