I can see the emails sent from buyers to sellers through the site so Yes, I could if I looked (I rarely do).

looks like a nice PNW bus. nice interior. strong paint. rust where the water had leaked through. Looks like it had been garaged. I like the front floor patches.
67 only pre heat. I'd think it is lowish miles.

I'm usually too slow to get the good deal, but this proves that they're still out there.
Found in a cabin that was getting remodeled, and they no longer wanted it on the porch.
The biggest trouble with it? My bus is a walkthru AND lefthand cargo doors. ugh

Sometimes, the best deals are the ones you give yourself. I had tried to sell this wingnut air cleaner for $40 at the last Bug-O-Rama swap I went to. The paint was mostly gone and it looked a little scruffy, but it was solid. No takers. So I dug it out of my stash, media blasted it and painted it, and now it's going on the 23-window (even though it's technically not correct)

That is a rare piece of history
I can’t believe non takers at $40
I would have jumped all lover that for my 56
