Sorry...just have the bug for a deluxe or a panel, and always ask for advice when I see one that looks good to me because I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as most here :)

Well, first off, the price is a bit high, but that's a factor of this particular seller.

It's missing the divider, there's something funky about the overhead vent closing panel, has the wrong mirrors, and there's just a bunch of stupid little stuff missing that shouldn't have been overlooked if you're trying to get tippy-top dollar. While easy to fix, it gives an insight into the mind of the flipper.

The bus looks OK. The pics aren't as comprehensive as some of Randy's other efforts. For example, I can't see; is the hardware for the latches on the back hatch and engine lid?

The quest to find the "small stuff that's missing" is part of the fun of owning a bus.

I have dealt with Oldbug and have nothing but good things to say about Randy and the way he conducts his business.

Hopefully that provides some peace of mind.

at that price it sure would be nice to get a handle to open the rear hatch

Or decklid seals or a decklid latch bezel, or uncracked taillight lenses, or a seal for the rear hatch hinge.

Sweet looking bus though. I wish my panel was that purdy.
