Just reading back through this post. I notice you said the computer was dated April 70, but the pump was built in 63. So... I guess it isn't "numbers matchin"? Oh well, practically worthless now. I will be glad to do you a favor and take it off your hands. Can I have it?

While looking at a car last year,the owner mentions he used to work @ a Sunoco Station as a teen...I like Sunoco...He then tells me he saved a few items,including the cement island can display they had,before the dismantle.
We couldn't come to an agreement on the car,so as I'm leaving he asks would I like to see the Sunoco items.
I like Sunoco..
Shows me some nick nacks and oil cans.An hour later I come home with this.






















He had it packed with cans,but not fully.
I added more to fill it up to capacity.
50 cans total..25 a side..I like it.
