Here is a cool 59 panel that is a "drive as you restore" It's always good to have a driver. This one is a great candidate because the mechanical part has pretty much been done. All new brake system, new shifter , new clutch kit, 12 volt system, all the lights work. Good bright headlights. .New windshield and rubber. New tires.. New battery. Nicely installed gas guage and NEW gas tank. This is very impressive mechanically, may need an alignment for maximum steering and tire life. NEW seat upholstery by a professional. The shifter is really good and tight unlike many busses.The carb may need some adjustment but it runs down the road fine. Engine is really strong. Wipers work. A professional mechanic did all the work. Body has a cool patina with most usual rust but this one looks better than most of the ones you see in east. The cargo floor has a few small holes but appears to be pretty good. Front floor pan needs attention . The rocker under door is not too good. A couple of outriggers will need attention.The drivers side looks quite good. Doglegs and corners need work and passenger door needs work although it does open and shut. Engine door is not attached . I have a one tailpipe bottom cover and rear bumper .Overall, a good project that is off to a really good start. I just have too much going on. More invested than starting bid so I hope it goes up! I think for what you are getting it's worth quite a bit.call 859-623-5135 or 859-351-6649 email is probably easier but calling is fineOn Nov-08-13 at 09:50:45 PST, seller added the following information: Since posting I've noticed a bent tie rod. It must have been from shipping. I looked them up and they're 50.00. This bus starts and runs great. A professional mechanic did all the work and it is very nice. This bus is great to just drive and leave body as is.
