Yeah, but do they run? I think the father/son is looking for a restorable, running bus..

It doesn't snow in Temecula either, so where the heck is that thing located?. 949 is not a temecula area code, and that hulk is far from "Rarest of the rare". As said above posts, $20k = bad joke. . If the "seller" is a restorer of fine vehicles" as the ad states, why doesn't he restore it and make the $$?... because if he did it right and sold it for $60k, he would take a loss on it. "Survivor"...  |

Flippin' a bus that you don't even have on your trailer, much less in your own state. Wow. He says he will have it shipped to the buyer from wherever it sits. That means that this joker will likely never lay eyes on this bus in person.

It had a V8 mounted in it. Note the rear end isn't VW either. Apparently neither detail is worth mentioning.

How could he mention it if he's never seen the (or a ?) bus. Probably sent the real owner/seller a small deposit, gave a bs extended timeframe to "pick it up", and hoped it would sell for flip $$ in that time?. I can't believe these guys think people on here don't immed. catch this kind of crap, and blast the word. I'm kind of surprized he didn't throw out the BJ bus as a comparison.  |
