| Yeah I guess........it had been for sale a pretty good while on Samba. I'm surprised it didn't sell quickly? Anyway I have two other buses, so maybe I can concentrate on getting my 59 swivel painted now.....thank goodness it's original sheet metal also🤗 |

| Don't worry, plenty of our good early buses have ended up stateside. Can you share which province it's going to? |

It's on its way to me in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It'll be garaged and only driven in dry weather. It's going to a good home.

| Hahah I just spotted this in one of the local club sites and came back here to mention it was going to be local. But I see you've already sorted that out. Look forward to seeing it out and about next year. |

No bus yet... Still at the Michigan border because the paperwork was late getting to the broker. It takes 72 hours to get border clearance. It should be leaving Wednesday. The wait is freakin killing me!!!
