80 gallon Air Compressor - what do you think?

I decided that I need a "real" compressor in order to get more body work done on my truck. I really don't want to spend $700+ on a new one and need some decent CFM's for my tools. Plus it's nice to have one that will run anything in your arsenal.

I found this beast and it looks like it will do the trick. No idea how many CFM's but I can tell you that a die grinder at 80psi hardly dropped the pressure gauge once the motor kicked on. Neither did a blow hose.. It must weight 500lbs and be 50+ years old but it seems to work well and the guy has it fairly air tight too...


$200 seems like a good deal for an 80 gallon tank... thoughts?
