Interesting interior choice as well. Only missing a "don't laugh your daughter is in here" sticker. |

Just a heads up. An older buddy of mine built this bus that's listed for sale. I'm not sure who the seller is. I've seen this bus many times in person. It was built on the cheap. A guy in Kansas City did poor metal replacement. It looks decent in pics. But to get $90,000 it would really need to be restored again.
Complete interior is home made including headliner. The bumpers are fiberglass. 14 inch bus wheels. Bay window rear seats. And a ton of incorrect parts. Really just a daily driver build. Not a good deal at half the price. As it really needs a lot of money put into it to get to $90k level. It is a true pressed bumper 15 window. I have before pics too.

Before. I tried to have the owner leave it as found and put it together in og paint. |

Seriously. The restored version does little for me, even more-so now knowing the quality of work that went into it.
If it were cosmetically preserved in the condition it was in, it would make for a much nicer bus. |

At least those are the replacement parts. Wasn't that long ago that somebody was selling one chopped into pieces and loaded into boxes. |

Did it ever sell, I wonder. Or did he finally just put it all on the curb for the weekly pickup. |
