Twins!

Sun Dec 19, 2010 10:20 pm

What could be better than one Sterling 2V8? Two of them!
We just crossed paths with a 2V8 we restored 7 or 8 years ago. We had the chance to grab it, so we did. There is a video of this one that is on our site at www.sirensforcities.com

I feel like the proud father of twins!

Must be meant to be, since you set it free and it came back. :lol:

It does still work. It was not replaced, the VFD was shut down.

If you don't mind me asking... What is the value on a sweet baby like that? What did you originally sell it to the VFD for?

The siren already belonged to the VFD, we just restored it. A completely restored 2V8, I might sell for $900 to $1,200. Depending what I had in it.
