pretty cool, but if there is anything worse than driving a panel in traffic, it is a RHD panel...

I agree, and it's on my radar, very nice panel @ 23.5K with amazing logos and sounds like he really invested well in engine & transmission. Too bad he has health issues as he is most likely not interested in a trade being I need a hardtop to fit in my garage

Love mango but yikes 8K  that is way too high and will need complete media blasting and metal dipping. It would be cheaper to buy a shell of a bus 3K miles west and ship it here. He list's it's condition as fair now that's a stretch.
Under that giant sponge called "shag rug" is swiss cheese.

He lives right around the corner and stops by here. Really nice guy and a super solid and honest bus. Wichita Falls Tx all its life. I had no idea about his health though. Too bad.

Seems reasonable although thin dog legs and lipped wheel wells would make me believe it’s a 63

Just look at the Birth Certificate: based on chassis # and build date, an early '63. Also, the front seat: '63. Still, no argument on price.

Yes, it says August 62 so 1963 model.
Agree it has all the regular 1963 features too.
Little bit of trivia though - Since it's a really early '63, it doesn't have the emergency light in the dash - that wasn't added yet even though it would have the emergency light system.
