Keeping up with posts on the Ghia forum keeps me plenty busy so I'm not on other forums much, but I just stumbled on to this one. You sir are full of surprises. Looks like a nice find. These old buses are so cool. Can't wait to see more pictures. Congratulations. You must be excited for it to arrive.

Nice '66, congrats!
I've only seen the mismatch of slash/pointed bumpers on the early '66's, and I've only seen the slash front, pointed rear combo on a mismatch. That is how my 10/07/65 was rumored to have been from the factory.
Seems like they ran out of rear slash bumpers, before using all of the slash front bumpers up.
