My girlfriend and I picked up this '60 Panel a few weeks ago and have spent many hours stripping away the layers of bad paint jobs to get down to the factory Sealing Wax Red. Interestingly enough, we got it down to the SWR and noticed some hints of a logo! Look closely and it says "DRUGS" on the rear upper corner of the bus, with some other writing before that which we cannot make out. Can anyones extra set of eyes maybe figure out what the first word(s) is?

Also, if anyone happens to know this history of this bus, we'd love to know! We got it from a guy in Indian Trail, NC where it had been sitting for many years. He says the bus originally came out of Waxhaw, NC....which may or may not be true?!? Any info would be greatly appreciated, and I'll buy you a beer if you are local. Smile

i had tried to get this thing. but it didnt work out, ive heard it came from a old lady and the bus was her sons at one point i guess that explains the harley davidson stickers that were on it


bus looks alot better then from what i remember


looks like you got the dent out of the roof .

if you look under the front seat base there was a bulb holder for the taillights and some door handles


hope to see it on the road!
