Peter, I dont think you could go wrong for paying
between $150 and $250 for a pump you plan to keep
Selling and buying to resell is a whole different
ballpark, Ive found on 2 50's pumps Ive redone that
you can spend between $150 and $450 on parts ,decals
handles, hoses, sandblasting and paint. It all adds
up. If you try to turn it around you dont get much
your labor cost. Just think about what your getting
into, its lots of fun.

ps most pump in the price guide for $1300 done
range Ive sold to friend for $900.
: I recently saw an old gas pump, the id plate says the pump was
: built in 1956. What would this be worth?, the pump is in fair condition, very faded paint,
: a little rust, etc.. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
