Thanks for thinking of me AS350driver, but he is a dreaming. I've decided to take the advise by others here and just stick with my Westy for now.

Looks very solid. If you’ve been waiting for a 56.....maybe time to expand your garage. $25k is a lot, but that is a lot of bus there. Tempting |

Looks like you might get that second chance, Linda? Unfortunately the price went up $5,000

Too bad he painted over the original logos or are they under that black paint? I hope someone buys it and brings it back.

The old logos are still under there, but with sanding and priming I'm not so sure they could be brought back with stripping. That is why I took photos before he painted. But he built this as an advertising vehicle for another business, and those old logos were under a couple of other layers of paint. Condition wasn't great, and he built what he needed at the time.

Sure the bodywork doesn't look great and they do mention that and the fact that the bus is rough in some places, but it is apparently a driver. Seems like a half decent deal at 9900?

This guy usually buys everything so I was surprised when he passed. said there was plaster holding the rack on on one side. Probably one you would definitely want to see in person. Not saying its not a good deal but it needs the right ass for that seat |

I bought it! I’m over 1,600 miles away so I’m having it shipped. Sure, it is rough, but I haven’t seen many non-rusted out, driving campers for sale for less than $10k

That's a cool Westy..if the frame isn't toast and interior is all there I say it might be worth it to the right person with the skills or resources to do it right.
Brendel20 (Andy's) flipseat is solid Dove Blue also.

I sent the guy with the sub hatch a text asking him to add pictures to the ad or just send some to me. Looks like everything could possibly be there especially if the water bottles are(expt Chandelier). Would luv to see what the rest looks like:popcorn:  |
