Selling the 46 Frigidaire that I recently restored at the shop. Custom red metalflake paint that is stunning in person. Interior repainted with gloss white epoxy paint. Shelves, trim, handle, freezer door, hinges, and emblems all chromed. All original hardware and brackets polished and clear coated to last. Back panel is painted satin black. In good working condition with original components and refrigerant.

Asking $5,000/best offer however I'd rather keep it than let it go for cheap. I have over 100 hours into this thing. It'll also be in an upcoming issue of Auto Restorer Magazine.

If you custom painted it and replaced everything maybe :mrgreen:

That refrig is looking great! I have a working 54 GE in the garage doing nothing :(

Yeah the value of the fridge itself is nowhere near my price, however having one that's a one off custom is in fact...priceless.

Kevin....I can restore/customize yours for you if you're interested.

Thanks HCZ, but even though it is a family heirloom, it is not fitting in with the garage plan. I semi-restored it a while ago (no re-chroming though). I hope to find someone who will appeciate and use it. I would hate to junk a perfectly fine working refrig!
