Confucius says "Humility is the SOLID foundation of all virtues"
I'm glad I could help provide some entertainment!
Ad amended to please the pundits, not the buyers of course. They are busy zooming in on my very detailed pictures showing as my ad states " inside and out, top and bottom, good bad, and ugly"
My opinion of what is solid is obviously different from those west of the Mississippi or have owned their Buses for decades. I've spent too much time excavating Buses buried in the woods apparently. Please send all similarly non solid Buses our way down in the south. We would love to take them off your hands and aren't afraid to spend a little time welding. |

And from Solid we move to your definition of "little."

Hey Everett,
That vintage pic above showing the dealer SC is a BAY Window. Look at the drivers door. |
Yup. I'm thinking '69 or '70. I've been trying to improve my knowledge of bay beetle bug truck van minutia.

No reflector behind the front wheel well and drum brakes, it's a 70. |
I just saw this bus on HVW youtube channel covering the Shaka show and it looks like the bus went to hawaii. New owner has a nutty story, wonder if any of it is true.

I couldn't watch it all but I have no idea what he is talking about at the start.
It's not the first truck.
Is he trying to say it's the first low semaphore truck?
I wonder if the previous seller told him that stuff? It's wrong.
I bet the one side with no semaphore is just welded shut and/or restored wrong.

I watched the full segment with the truck and alternative facts may best describe it. This fellow either Has a great imagination or he was sold hook line and sinker by the previous owner on this tale. What ever the case he has a lot of enthusiasm telling it. |

i remember when this one was discussed a few years ago. At the time it had one semaphore b-pillar, and one without.
old ad:

a german 59 would have had semaphores.

It's legit. The seller has had a ton of responses and has arranged a meeting time for all interested to sell it today. I think this one is more due to the fact he is moving out of the country permanently and needs to sell it. |

There was also some cryptic reference to no rust thanks to donor bus. What that means is anyones guess…

Yep, that was pretty weird. I wanted to know also, so for inquiry minds...
He rebuilt the bottom of the 15 window using the donor panel bus. In my mind, that was enough to keep me from wanting to see it. Who knows how it was done? Maybe done well, maybe not. That and the fact that I'm not going to go down there and get in some emotional bidding war with a bunch of people all looking at it at the same time. Just me... |
