Hey, it comes with free shipping though!
Then it says base included, and after that base is sold. |

What's really funny is what he says in the ad
"Don't "Best Price" me because these prices are already a reflection of the economy and it's hurting. "

I edited this ad.
It looks like he might have had an NOS thermostat in this ad in the past as there are some deleted photos of another one.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he forgot to update the ad title.

It does sound high but I had to read the ad to see it includes ALL the tin + some other parts.
It's not just the shroud that is pictured.
This is a good example of why you should use multiple photos if you have multiple parts listed in the ad

1962 Double Cab Stretched 22" Bus Price: 69999
At least three (including trailer) buses ruined to make one butt ugly one. Price is in Canadian dollars so it's less in US dollars. Still too much in my opinion. |

Looks a lot longer than 22 inches, though I suppose pics on the computer can look a little different. 
It is a shame that 3 buses were chopped up to make this... thing. It is what it is, though. Unique. Not necessarily cool or good looking, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It'll turn heads for sure. |

Since neither of you have any idea of the condition of the donor buses, you have no idea whether they were worth saving. Yes, there are still buses out there that are so fucked up they should only be used to donate for others.
This one would hvae made a perfect donor for that bed, or the trailer.
I like the extend-o-truck. The wheels and colors would have to change, and the price is well beyond my reach, but that would be a great work truck for me in the summer months.

^^... that was good for a laugh.
Don't think this a bus part... maybe a Type 3 motor mount?.... but seem like a whine worthy price... and just wanted to share that the first pic is kinda creepy.
Is that a mattress?
*edit*... from the seller:
I'm having someone put this stuff on for me who doesn't know the prices, so I redo them after they put them on.

Yeah, that an early type 3 engine mount, and way over priced.
