Need help locating this bus

[aeromech]

Guys, I was hoping that someone here might know what happened to my old bus. I would really appreciate it. Last seen on the road to Punta Baja just outside El Rosario. I thought this picture might help narrow it down because I lost the VIN number after all these years. Maybe someone knows the current owner. Thanks

Gary, I can't be of any help as I am 3000 miles east but I an sure you will find it. Just persevere. I also know you will restore it to it's past glory when you have the long lost beast in your hands. I really think you have a chance,don't give up.

Hey I bought that bus a month ago and road tripped it home - until it broke down half way. I've started a Go Fund Me if you all would like to contribute.
