I talked to the current owner last week. He had a couple mechanical questions in the process of making it stock height.

Go back to Page 1, 3rd post down. UPS got after him so he had to repaint the logo and use "UPS" magnetics only for static display. |

sweet pic!
The number above is 63200.
Looks like a regular walkthough, not a swivel seat. Black upholstery?
I think the front turn signals may not be stock, possibly 'upgraded' from the bullets.
The number on the bus below is 63162

A friend of mine in the Portland area said he still sees the bus parked at the same spot on a regular basis. He sent me a pic from his cell a few months ago

Sorry, not trying to hate on anything, its just my own preference as to the threads.
I've always given him credit as to its history. Wouldn't have it if it wasn't for him. Glad you finally made contact. |

yup you are correct this is a thread about a bus, a bus that Shad once owned before you so he is a part of the history, no need to get your panties in a wad mr "el thread disliker" we are just curious where one of the previous owners of the UPS bus went.
Well I just spoke with Shad's mom and she said that he is living in Portland.I left my contact info with her and i should hopefully be talking to Shad Spencer tomorrow.perhaps he has some more info or photo's of this super rad bus. |

Shad's last name was "Mattioli" (not sure of the spelling) and then it changed in the mid 90's to "Spencer" last time I talked to him |
Sorry if I offended you Mouse, I haven't been on here in a year! Umm...Hi.

Bus will not be listed by me. Price will be set once the ad is placed. (for those who have already PM'd asking for the price) |
