Got back at 5am this morning after a solo trip to bring home this 1957 Palm Green/Sand Green bus I have been watching for a while.
I first saw the bus in a video on youtube, with some research found the name of the owner and through that found his phone number.
Incredibly nice Idaho rancher who purchased it 15 years ago to use the transmission for his Baja project.
We settled on a price, basically scrap price, and then long month before my college finals were over commenced.
The day after my last final, I rented a truck and trailer, and set out. At 1am, I rolled into twin falls Idaho, and slept a few hours. I woke up at 6am to finish the last 1 hour leg of the trip to his ranch.
I then spent a few hours getting it on all fours and getting the transmission (which didn’t end up going his Baja) into the bus.
I then set off on the 12 hour drive back home to Sonoma County.
Here she is!
Hasn't been registered since 1973.

There's a hefty penalty for exporting buses like that out of Idaho. I'm not sure what that fine is yet, but I'm sure bonecollector, Lind and cdennisg can help me come up with something.
Well done sir. _________________

$700 bucks plus $350 in gas. A lot, but most definitely worth it.
