To quote Brendan, I'm guessing this is close:

| I've wanted that hornbecker deluxe since I was 14. Knowing it came from so close in Oklahoma. Anyone know why the pass front door and forward cargo door looks off in color compared to the rest. Also what issue of hot vws was it in? I think it was in 1985 or 84 but can't remember what month. I was looking thru my mags for it a while back and couldn't find it. |

Thanks for the replies.
That firebus is insane. 
They're all amazing and quite a bit lower than what I'd expected.

This one needs an honorable mention as well with roughly 14,000 original miles on it...
The interior defies description, too.

I know there are lower mileage buses on here, but I think mine is probably worth mentioning, in the grander scheme of things...
20,909 miles
One owner, one driver, one property (for 59 years).
