this isn't about the under-seat log. this is about no heat at all. 
this doesnt have the heater tube underneath that runs to the front - it has the part under the dash, and it has the dash vents....
and no holes in the crossmembers for the tube. crossmembers have dents and painted over road rash, so they're certainly older, and a quick look around the seams doesnt seem to show signs of replacement.

Does it look like the heater cable tubes are there? |

I love how he keeps saying that it isn't a painted pig, while in fact it is a painted pig.
Plus, how the hell do you change the middle seat from a short to a full length? Don't you have to cut out the floor and replace the mount points? Or maybe he only has one leg attached.

So I emailed the seller about the heater tube.
Me: "What happened to the heater tube under the bus? I can see heater registers in the front of the cab, but the heater tube from the engine is missing. Was this removed during the restoration?"
Summers Eve: "Yeah doesn't have a heater box"
Me: "I can see the heater boxes on the engine are missing. I am asking about the heater tube that is supposed to run along the entire length of the bus, underneath. What happened to it?"
Summers Eve: "not there"

I forgive the old school cat for shortening a bus. And.....
I guess I can forgive a guy that would chop a Brazilian in half before a real split.

Sorry but that piece of shit isn't worth 3200 dollars never mind 32000 ...
Come to think of it, I wouldn't pay 320 dollars, not worth the embarrassment factor....
check out the door...errr....drop on the passenger side....who needs to step down when you're half way there already....
Shorties have aways been utterly hideous cool-cutie-pie crap, ever since the very first was done. No exceptions. What a waste of welding gas. |

But wait, are there only 11 windows? It looks like the skylight windows are just black paint (looks level to roof with no seals)? Or are my eyes deceiving me

Does this bus even have value? What kind of value? Can anyone answer. realistically do they sell?
It seem to me it's the most expensive Brazilian bus out there. It's half a bus
23 window. Please. This is the worst ad. And if the windows are painted on then this guy needs a throat chop
You want to talk waste of money this is it.
Take the basket case any day! |
