I'm curious, having never attempted or considered it, are the heat risers interchangeable? Could that be the only piece that has been replaced?

This Bus look like a bondo nightmare to me, among other things
At first I was like what's up with the heater tube up front?!?
I realized the carpet is covering the bottom portion

I知 not sure on that, they did do some crazy bay/split hybrids in Brazil. I do believe, and someone correct me if I知 wrong, that the two oval shaped indentations on the back of the headlight buckets are unique to Brazilian buses. This bus looks to have been put together with whatever parts were on hand, no telling what it started life as. |

Look closely at the engine lid. Looks like a mix of Brazilian lid with an eyebrow added to it. The eyebrow should be closer to the upper edge. Also a 63 and older t handle on the upper rear hatch. Very odd combo of parts to try and fake this thing. A huge swing and mis...

| Lots of Brazilian touches, like no heat vents under the dash. It does have the 1967 only dashboard. I知 pretty sure the Brazil buses never got that. |

It looks like it has a big circle under the hatch handle too, like they cobbled things together there?

It would also be the first deluxe I've seen with no pop outs!

It looks like a German bus to me that was just thrown together with whatever cheap parts then could find. Brazilian split window buses never came with a sliding door and the Brazilian split buses all came with a narrow rear hatch. My guess is that this bus started life as a German built sliding door panel or maybe kombi and was converted to a 21 window bus and cobbled together with the least expensive parts they could find.

One of those rare SO-24 Flipseats that I can convert into a 23 window. He says he has all the pieces, but won't send more pics. All can be yours for a mere $20k. Whats with people selling dreams for top dollar instead of finished products?

Holy shit look at how bent the dash is!!!! No mention in the ad of that........ Assuming this bus is build able wouldn't it have been a far better investment as a SO-24 vs a fake 23 window?? |

Certainly crunched in the front a bit. Dang. So two pictures of little bits of the bus, and then two random pictures of the crap in the garage? And then people wonder why their crap doesn't sell. I'd take the SO-24 all day, 23s don't interest me much.

Comes out to $37k USD
$37k USD is about $22k too much for a brazilian. I will admit that one looks pretty straight forward, but then again so do many others that have turned out to be the complete opposite. |

That dash is just real funky shaped on the left there.
However, the pic does show a SWR dash pointy pod fat tray bus with happich grab handle, twinsies to my April 18 SO-34. Maybe they meant so-34 not so-24?
one of the garage pics shows as samba roof clip.
If I was living in Oly I would still want more pics before driving an hour and a half to see it. I might want to look anyway, I but I don't see $19K + there. Maybe it's better in person?

Clara, It's in my backyard, if you want more, I'd be willing to go check it out. But at $19k is there any middle ground? Let me know.

Dude, I'm just not that interested at 19K. If I was where you are I would go out just out of curiosity.
I'm thinking that other roof pic might be camper cabinets???
