Could this be a good deal these days? for early late 55 manufacture, dbbl door, nos ribbed bumpers (not wolfsburg) nos handles, long side rocker looks good, no windows hacked in, and og paint under the green? It got issues but if was 12mths older how much would it be... |

i think it is a fair enough deal for an early DD panel, but it is just a roller that needs restoration...
i happen to be looking for just that vehicle... i just can't justify spending over 10 grand on a roller, as much as i like it. _________________ regards

Running driving Westy for $9500. Seems good, I would expect rust but as long as its' not coming out from the inside, it's GOOD deal. _________________ "There is only one sin; disconnection from self." |

I've seen this bus and it is definitely a good deal. Rick is a super honest guy too. Won't stick around long i'm sure |

Man. Tough to say if there is actually $800 worth of parts value there. Looks like a $300 bus to me. _________________ nothing |

If this is the bus I think it is, and I'm pretty sure it is. Take a good look at where in the bus that seat is setting. the seat has the legs cut off of it and is being used as a front seat. Bus was for sale in Mena ar. a couple years ago for $1500, not a bad deal still, but not a great deal. The grab handles are there and the middle seat could be repaired. but you would need to find front seats.
Edit: looks like its pending now. Hope the buyer looked good at it. |

i was actually thinking the add was going to be just the tent, with the way busses and parts are going for these days. I am up in the AK right now or i'd be all over it. |

If I weren't currently obligated, I'd be headed up there, too. Looks like a good bus at a good price. One of the Spokane area flippers will likely get it soon. (I am a flipper sometimes, too. No offense intended) _________________ nothing |

I don't think so. I called and talked to " Ozzy " and he said " He thinks it sold, the guy is suppose to wire me money in the morning when the banks open " I didn't play the I'll Paypal you right now or offer more Douchebag card" That I've had tried on me countless times. |

The bus is for real. Original owner parted with it just a few years ago. Hell of a great guy.... He put much love into it, and sold it for half of this asking price. |

Does this bus have upper vents on the passenger side and none on the driver's side or is that first photo just poor? _________________
