Re: 260...It's A Gas!
 

Rick, i applaud your efforts. I too am a Sunoco nut! I can remember filling up at the "wishing well" outside of Pentwater MI during my childhood trips there.
I have gathered as much as I can. I have NOS blend pump bathroom keys (men and womens), credit cards (70 and 73) receipts, credit card holders, handy oilers with blend pumps, the promo radio, a "sunoco air" sign, oil bottle etc. and of course my pump.
Funny thing is, I don;t have a good shot of it. It was restored by a guy who bought 100 of them and does about one every 6 months with the best original parts from his stash.
I hope one day to here your pump ding......I wish mine did (its gutless)

Very very cool and well done on your part!!

John

here are the only shots i can find

Did Lenny W. restore your pump?
Can you show me the "Sunoco Air" sign?
You and I have nearly the same collection items.

Thanks.
No, I think the guys name was Steve. I would have to check. He was out East (he did a great job crating it)

Re: 260...It's A Gas!

Re: 260...It's A Gas!
 

hey rick, hats off to you!
i just caught up on the last few pages of this thread....
great job on the inside...
wouldn't it be nice if you could make the pump "ding" every hour? kind of like a grandfather clock.

Sorry I forgot to answer what I found earlier.
That picture I posted shows an air hose,so this 39 year old unrestored Eco wall mount airmeter I found in a bulk plant is what I was referencing..

Re: 260...It's A Gas!
 

As far as Chicago is concerned, does anybody know when we lost Sunoco as a gas brand? I saw this sign in the middle of what was an old neighborhood gas station on the 2700 block of south Lawndale in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. The place is not a gas station anymore but the sign still looks pretty good. Just be careful if you go and look at it as the neighborhood is not that great. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif
