 |
|
I am thinking of selling my semafore sections.I would rather sell the whole bus but when i had it listed it didnt get much interest..So I am considering parting it out.I am speaking of my 56/57 semafore panel I rescued from the field.I had the whole bus listed for $700.00 or best offer.(I would have took $500.00).It was quite a while ago.Heres a photo and theres more in my gallery.

| Yeah I have bought my share of those as well......they are called donor buses...but this one is unique as it has semaphore pockets....in about five years or less you will probably have a registry for early semaphore buses too |

thats funny, I consider semaphores to be useless and that they take away from the value of a bus. just because something is rare/uncommon doesn't necesarily make it cool. although I am sure there are people who would disagree... I don't like right hand drive either...

LOL. I am very peculiar with my tastes... the further a bus gets away from a 1958 USA spec bus, the less I like it.

Dave Cormack has a pretty good story about that. I won't ruin it by telling his story, just if you see him at a show ask him about his semaphore story...
