love the flames. my mom lives in wichita and I always look for buses when I got out west. I only make it out once every couple years. Plan on taking my bus on a serious trip this summer might make it out that far

The PO, seemed to have a hate for this bus. I was at the swap meet and found out he was in the booth behide me. It was late in the last day, and he said " I'm not taking this bus home, its going from here to the crushers". He then said " if I could push it off my trailer on some dirt road without getting caught I would".
Well lucky for me, I had sold a bunch of old signs at the swap and had some CASH. We worked out a deal, and I became the proud new owner. My cousin said he could drop it off at his daughters house which was on his way home, and since I didn't have my trailer with me, so that worked out good.

No...Nice color combo with the camper kit. Shame it does not appear to be an original camper, though I could be wrong.

Thats what I'm thinking, one reason is the window in the side closet, and the Mplate said it had 6 popout windows. The camper kit looks like a factory style material and a descent job.
But I'm sure it could tell some stories if it could. I'm thinking it spent its last days as a work / parts running bus for Ernies VW Auto Center, in Wichita. The building is still there but its a differnt business now.

Like I said in the bus hunting thread, I took a good hard look at that one, I didn't see anything too wrong that some funky green couldn't fix. Logo, flames, patina, shag carpet - what's not to love? I'm glad it went to a good home!
I'm in the Wichita area so if you need some help with it send me a PM. |

You really should use the green shag as a launching point for your restoration theme. Think of the possibilities! Incense, Peppermint, Rosemary and Thyme. Oh, I think I'm trippin'!

OK I'm needing some help on the m code

I'm thinking this is a 64 but the last 7 digit starts with a 1200319, so is this a 1961? Thanks
