Very rare find! Ok, so the story, everyone wants the story :) Me and my girl at the time bought this sweet little thing back in 05. We mostly gutted and rebuilt the interior, saving as much of the original parts as possible (like the avocado green rear bench seat, 3rd seat, n other lovelies). We did a few modern upgrades, like adding led interior lights (as an addition to, not replacement of originals, their still there), black light, modern radio, nice speakers, amplified antennas, electric sink, dual battery system, power inverter (we removed the inverter itself when we moved onto a sailboat, but its still wired up for one with reallllly heavy gauge wiring), minifridge (also removed, but wired for still), and we used to have a pc with flipdown screen in there set up with SNES emulator and to sell shit on ebay while on the road. We added toooons of goodies to this already rare find. At the time the canvas for the pop top and awning were new, and still in like new condition today. We drove it about for about a year or two, then a part on the front broke and we parked it. The part is like this mount thing that holds a linkage from a steering arm to other rods that push/pull the tires left or right to turn. When it broke, we temporarily fixed it with some shitty welds and big hose clamps to drive it home and get it in the garage. That was in 07 or 08 I think. It sat in the garage till 2015 when I moved to a different house. And trailered it here. Since then its been outside. Interior is still retro fabulous, in great shape, exterior needs a good cleaning, and paintjob. Its got some rust, but mostly its pretty damn good. If you look at the pics, and see the rocker panel for the side door youll see how great it still is. Underneath pics you'll be able to see some of the heavier rust spots, and that its really pretty damn decent for a 46 year old beauty. We've wanted to keep it and someday repaint the exterior, but times are rough atm, and could really use the money... :( not an easy decision by far, love this bus way to much... So hit me up n come take a look. If you buy, you'll need to come pick it up or arrange that at your own cost. $500 due immediately at end of auction via paypal, Balance due within 3 days in the form of cash, or certified cashiers check. No bullshit moneygrams or greendot scam crap. And if you need to pay via Paypal Or Google wallet or anything, we MAYBE can do that, but your paying the fees from your end. Prefer pickup within 5 days of end of auction, but thats negotiable. Anything over 2 weeks and storage fees may be incurred. But talk to me, and as long as your reasonable, im reasonable. I just dont want a situation where Im waiting forever for you to come get your new baby! Im sure theres things Ive forgotten to list here, so ask away. And Ill add updates as their thought of. Also, I have this listed elsewhere, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction. So if your really serious about this bus, call me (eight one 0 dash 9 six 5 dash 0 seven eight 6) to see it, and bid high, buy it now, or submit your best offer.
