You have not seen this Bus and have no idea how waisted it is.
The guy that owns the place knows me, knows how to get a hold of me. He wants $500 for it, then you get to pay a guy w/ a logging truck to grab it & haul it over the fence 
Do you really think the 15 or the RHD would still be there if they were close to worth the $$ to save. |
is this the one that the dude just picked up in the bus hunting thread

Here is our February 1960 15 Window as found:
We found this bus 2 years ago behind our other 15 Window. Originally we had hoped it would be savable, but it was extremely crusty. We kept all of it anyway. Here is where it now resides:
Maybe someday. |

Can't I have ever seen a Montreal export code in person. Cool.
Also, I found the text and arrows on the trash can lid pretty funny in this shot.

All you had to do was ask Corey! My 63' Kombi is also a Montreal export code. That's a nice 15 window!

| Does this bus have a heater mounted under the front seat? Mine did, I heard a lot of the Montreal buses had heaters mounted at the dealership. I've got the holes, but no heater. I did just get a heater from a friend that I may put back in there. |

That's a beautiful addition to the registry Busfarmer! Is it original paint? Looks to be a speck of patina on the driver's side bullet

I don't think I ever knew that. I have seen your bus many times, and knowing where you found it that sort of makes sense. I'll have to check it out up close and personal next time.

M-Code called for ambulance fans and safari windows so I had to make sure they were put back in. Still trying to figure out what code C98 is. I gotta order a birth certificate. |

Hello, GUTBUS,
I sent you a PM, but am looking for the 1960 15 window VIN#583452 that you show in this thread. The one with the Washington plates. I am the owner of this bus. I have been looking for it for a very long time and found my title to it yesterday April 19, 2018. Please contact me asap regarding my bus. I had waited for the day I could find her again!!!!
Thank you... |
