Sad I have a '62 Bus which has been modified with a Honda Accord drive line. It's a disaster which I don't want to confront. The car is going to a junk yard unless someone here would like to have it. The body is reasonable and relatively complete. I would only consider it to be a shell for parts donor or to bring back if you have really rusty one. Located in Hot Springs Village, AR. Need a trailer to pick up. Come and get it. Free

You should post up a picture - I'm sure someone would take it off your hands.

EMPIGT got it. Thanks for the chance to have it serve a useful purpose rather than being crushed.

Jeeze. I need a Honda drivetrain in mine since my Hon-duh never leaves me on the roadside.. Mine seems to always break down otherwise. Brakes are acting up on mine now.

this is better than I thought it would be. The motor set up is strange, complete front frame clip from a mid 70s accord, radiator and all mounted in the rear of the bus. Putting the radiator mid cargo floor. Being cooled by cabin air. With mustang II front suspension. And accord dash and seats mounted. More pics soon!

More to come soon. I may not cut it up. Looks to solid to do that to it. My just try to fix it's issues and leave it an abortion but better engine and layout and maybe add a/c to. My wife wants a bus like Obus said, that is more reliable and doesn't have a 4 cylinder lawn mower motor. What better bus to hack than one that already is.
