I found a 2001 Genesis 1100 (I think) on C/L today. I got it for $40 and it included 2 full tanks since the owner was moving across country and didn't want to deal with packing propane. It was obviously rode hard and put up wet so it's going to get a full set of flavorizers, tubes, igniter kit, wheels, casters and catch pan rig. It's Mica Green like the last one I did and I hope the hood comes out as well. Unlike the Lil' Green Machine, it has the Durawood side shelf, swinger and lower shelf. I'm going to do the degrunge and re spray on the outside of the box rather than the bare metal slog but the end caps are as flaky as my mother in law so I'll likely have to strip them down. As a side note, I ordered 1/2 of the parts from Grillparts.com (wheels, casters, igniter kit and thermometer) and the order shipped in less tan one hour from submitting payment. I'm now officially addicted.
I do know that I like it. I actually took my wife (SWMBO) with me to pick up this orphan and she said the same thing about the tank value. She enjoyed the haggling that I did as well. I hope to bring another fine Weber gasser back into service and make my buddy who will receive this one, see the value in restoring a classic vs buying a commodity piece of junk and watching it disintegrate in place.
