Doubt it will sell, I bet the top bid will be in the $40-$50k range. For BAT people it’s a project bus and project cars are not getting much love these days. |
That interior is horrible. |
In 35 years, you’d think redoing that front seat would’ve taken precedence over expending energy to lower it and putting that aftermarket steering wheel on.  |

No kidding. I see thousands spent on suspension in absolute turd sleds.

Do you mean the glass bottle with 'Ampco' on it? The text says 'vapour oiler' and it's connected to a fitting on the vertical part of the intake manifold. Maybe it's some equivalent of a Marvel Mystery Oil oiler?

Just for my education:
I have never seen a 62 deluxe with a vinyl headliner. Did I miss something? My parts book tells me installation of vinyl headliners startet in 8/63...

From the factory, all corner window buses had cloth headliners. This one is not original.

Lotus white 66 sold for $205k. So, well done restorations are still selling for big money, but mediocre buses and projects have dropped.

Yes.
It could even be old. I've seen a few Deluxes that should hve cloth where the dealer replaced the headliner a long time again and they used a vinyl one.
My old '63 15-Window was like that.
(Not my current Turquoise one, I had a SWR/BG one too)

I've seen that for a Judson or other marques' blower but not on a regular engine intake lube. Wouldn't it just smoke and during idle vacuum I'd think it would just guzzle the oil. |
