Oh well ... I'm not really into lowered buses, but the period hot rod look of this one quite appeals to me. _________________ fig

You must see the inside of the bus.It`s covered with old porsche posters and they are aged also.This van was in the Volksworld magazine a couple months ago.
If you want.i could scan the article. |

I wonder what the BDM knows about this baby. Note the faint Porsche logos.

I know the logos are fake, does that help? |
Is that the one that was in Volksworld a few months ago that was doused with saltwater to add patina to the paint job? _________________ Your Vanagon sucks, Stop waving at me.

its hard to see but this was a snap-on tools bus. i dont think it was done in the 60s however. i do know the bus has been in this condition for at least 20 years which is how long it sat in a ditch here in colorad and how long kids/people/retards threw big rocks at it. look down the long wall and on the upper nose to see some of the letters. bummer.

I thought SATAN on the back and JESUS on the front would work well. |

ms priss, it is an original philly bus. evergreen (EV) and howard (HO), i think both #s are west philly. i doubt the bus has ever been out of the city. it has 43,000 miles on it. _________________ Extravagant Lifestyle

That's so cool, Uzi! (Granny's # began with HO4. Strange 30+ years later I can still remember it.) _________________ Vicki

I like that your bus says "EV HO". Could that be a clue about our fearless leader?? _________________ Ken
