| Wonder why they didn't put the heavy end of the bus on the main carrier part. Those ramp/extenders must be super strong. |

Isn't that the truth!
I truly thought I would see this bus at OCTO cause it was priced to move. I know of several people who would have loved to own this bus, but the timing wasn't right, including myself.
The buyer in Japan stepped up when no one else did. Congrats to the seller and the new owner

sweet bus.... hope the transport goes well. I'd have it enclosed... especially since it was not cheap.

Perfect battery tray with the factory strap and cover all snug as it should be… it’s going to Japan. That’s all I know. The buyer is not known and remains a private person.

Oh, Shit!!!!
Mark L. does it justice!
He hit my bus with the Azure Blue pinpoint vinyl stick six years ago, and it still looks perfect.

The updates come a little slower these days but I’m always digging for things to do. I had been in contact with the great Mark L to sew up a new and PROPER cover for the bus for a good few years but it finally made its way into the next steps...
It seems the specific blue vinyl went out of production and I had to dig around the country to find the suppliers that still had some. Found a few yards in upstate NY. Sent it to Mark and had him sew up the cover and the interior headliner. He was coming to Florida for a vacation and did a mini side trip to come hang for the day and install it. Needless to say it makes the bus a whole different level. Thanks again Mark!

Just updating this with a installed shot of the engine. Pretty much went through the entire engine. New bearings all new machine surfaces, new cam and Clyde Berg did a very thorough job on the heads. It runs great. I did some other freshening up also.
I also finally got around to recovering the middle seat to match the front and rear. The front seat in this bus was the very first cover Matt Miller made and the info I supplied while redoing the 58' Binz I did in the early 2000's was what helped get those proper and correct material covers in circulation. You are welcome!

Nice Todd! Glad to see this bus again, even though I like it at any height you have it.
