Not saying it's worth it, just never know who's out there that just has to have it..... I can never find them, but some people have better luck.

It's at $50K now. If we wait long enough, maybe it will hit $6250.

it wasn't a typo - I asked him about it and the way I read his response was that he didn't know where to start, didn't want to start too low, was hoping the "OBO" would bring in some offers.

Hopefully you educated him on a proper starting point for his pricing and directed him to this thread.

I did not give him an exact price but he asking about logo trucks and I indicated a general range of other dealer logo trucks for in the past and it was MUCH lower.

Long time no bus trip! These are always fun and the buses might come and go but never forget the trips. This trip was extra special as I got to travel down with a buddy.
Saw the most amazing collection of 'stuff' ever!
Long drive, but beautiful!
The Prize!
And best part, spending the night at my buddy's farm!

Wow  That poor bus has sat for many decades in that weather.
When I see pictures like this of abandoned VW's, it's just a reminder of how disposable they really were back in the day like most other brands.

[quote="sgellis"]Purchased this today.
Not repairable but some parts. April 61 delivered to Halifax port.
What part of NS did you find this bus? I know when i lived there i found a few busses in similar condition. No need for a saw the panels just pull apart.

That seems akin to concerning oneself with the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Yarmouth area. Nice salt spray and fog. Perfect for composting busses. |
I found 1 by Digby and the nose was falling off if it
