I will just leave this here


 
That looks like it was used very little. At least 2/3 of the glass is there. I'd want to know about what looks like black overspray on the inside, both hinge area and end cap by the back of the lid. Regardless, it looks like a good candidate for a pretty easy restoration. I wonder what it's story is.

indeed, the firebox indicates mild use, be good if all doors are present.

Seems pretty cheep to me. I'd rather pay a little for a nicer grill with nicer parts.

I don’t wholly disagree. But at $150, that’s a hard pass for me. Even at $100 I wouldn’t touch it. Nice parts no doubt. But I would take 4 curb finds and make one over putting $100 up front into a grill that might net me $375 on a good day.

I kind of understand where you're coming from but I think that Grill has the potential to sell for no less than $500 with very little money to put in other than initial investment even the burners will probably clean up like brand new not to mention that cookbox and lid end caps are almost spotless already. I'd be happy to pay $200 if it was near me whether I rebuild it as is or just for the like new parts that are worth more than that to me. Of of course I understand we have different objectives and I'm trying to find the nicest grills with the nicest parts to use to build my personal grills. Not to sell. If you're trying to sell grills in the 200-300 range out of free curb find grills this one would not be appealing to you I suppose.

I think you are probably right on the flip aspect, Cody, although I know @Bruce restored and flipped one. Maybe he can weigh in. To me, this is more of a collector gem like what @Mark AU has done with his. It would certainly be a nice centerpiece if you have room for grills just to look at.
 
I don't get too many grills for free so I don't really count those. I do get most of them in the $20 to $40 category though. In that range I can expect that both drip trays are shot, which will automatically add another $65 to $70 to my restoration costs. So, if I had to pay $100 to start on a nicer grill that didn't need those things what's the difference? Plus the slightly more expensive grills are usually in better overall condition anyway. I'm going to make about the same in either scenario usually.
