Nice find and will be worth a mint when it's done. But just be prepared for Loads and Loads of rust. Sitting in the weeds like that and the sunroof missing has most likely rusted out the majority of the underside. Good Luck. Keep posting. And expect whatever shipping company to take 2-3 times longer than they quote you.

Yeah GostaBerling, My theory when buying buses like this is to expect the worst and hope for the best. And figure that there is going to be all kinds of rust all over the thing. but I also figure that if its beyond my ability to fix I can always just sell it again for what i have into it, and maybe make a little money to boot. but I'm hoping that its not going to be that bad!, which would have to be pretty bad, as I have restored some pretty rough looking buses in the past. So just cross your fingers for me! Thanks,

I love seeing a bus being saved from the weeds . Yet somehow, weeds seem to be attracted to buses...  |
