Nice score elnutty...You going to try and save the SWR and logos? The body looks fairly nice. Guess I should ask if you bought it?

Bought this early panel today, first tubular tranny mount bus I've ever owner. Found it in Illinois, couldn't believe how nice cargo floor is. The number stamped in bulkhead is 161714, does that make it December of 55??? |

That's the body number on the bulkhead, not the vin.
Vin is stamped directly below the vin plate in engine compartment
Nice find.

| Manny I agree it looks like it was taken in the early 80s. Just get a motor in it, I like it the way it sits. |
It looks like it's already doing donuts around that junkyard sign |

By my reckoning that is early March 56 and with production switching to Hannover on 8th March 56 that must be one of the very last Wolfsburg buses made  How cool is that!
Great Score.
Cheers, Dave |
