The "ONE" I let go of like an idiot! (1967) I paid $1200 in 93. It was all original with very, very little surface rust, never wrecked or repaired. New sun roof. Bought it in San Antonio, drove it home to Houston same day. She ran so strong and smooth. Then I practicaly gave it away because I was young, broke and stupid. Been kicking myself everyday since. Cool thread!

Sell my bus? Would Han Solo sell the Millenium Falcon?

I guess in the late 60's white took off for allot of different manufacturers and to this day look at the cars in any give intersection most are white. Atleast where I live and yet for deluxe buses that were mostly two colors it makes them unique in a way with all the polished trim. Smile

Sloan,

Nice catch. I briefly caught it in the BB pics. Anyone know who owns this and where? Love the Rustina.

It was super original inside.
