This bus is not really whine-worthy, so maybe it is a good deal. Probably more just noteworthy. It looks pretty trashed, but it is one of the earliest walkthrough buses I have seen. I can only think of four older ones right offhand, and this might be the oldest walkthrough with no upper rear vents. The listed VIN number (301740) puts it in November 1957, making it an early '58.

I had a 57 walkthrough factory safari logo panel in 2011. It’s still one of the oldest I have seen. I sold it for 1500 I believe, maybe 2500. Either way it seemed like a lot at the time and I was high school.

thats $32,000 USD, just clarifying since most people don't read ad text.
at 32K, I don't think it falls into the "good" deals category. Should it be in the whines? probably not.

Maybe not by previous standard pricing, but the amount of scabs currently for sale under $25k is hardly any and what it would take to get any of those close to looking like this one, makes this seem pretty good and hassle-free to me. |

That is a nice looking Single, and a "Dual Chester" too, love that it is not plain Jane white like many singles, not a fan of the tilt, but that is just my dislike of Truck caps in general, I wouldn't pay $32K, but it is a good -looking truck.

I paid $2000 for a SWR single cab, so if I bought this one for $32, I'm only averaging $17k a piece. Now that's data with which I can approach my wife.

I think for the UK, or just about anywhere in Europe, this is a spectacularly nice truck. i doubt you can just go buy one like that. I think it will likely find a home.

There were 3 pics but Yes, they did add one a little bit later.
The ad was deleted pretty quick so I assume it sold very quickly - Price seems really good to me! |

YES..I got a good deal but a good deal doesn't always mean good deal.i had the bus shipped back to California,and when I got the bus it was a complete mess.I had to do a bunch of work and changes to the bus it now is in much better shape and safe to drive,So I wouldn't call that a quick flip...every bus I get I give it lots of love.. |

Core middle seat. Worth a bit more than the asking price, but I guarantee that upholstery is garbage.

What is that gold line and silver/chrome canister for? Is it a propane gas line for a stove? I don't recall see that before.

Looks like a cheap Chinese diesel heater exhaust to me. Must be mounted under the rear seat.
