I don't know any thing about the bus but that orange counter top would have to go and I wonder what color of shag is in the bedroom, looks like it has been caped on the front
good luck
Thanks for posting the link.
Clifford, when or if I find out more I'll post it. I would assume that lots needs to be redone, but it sure seems like a good starting place, and it is close by.
I've noticed that for about the last month and sent an email to owner but never received a response.
I'll be interested to hear your coments on chassis, drivetrain, etc. As you mentioned, looks like a gut job
but might be a good base.

I'll let you know.
I have very little sucess emailing anyone via the C/L thing. It is almost as if the add doesn't provide any other contact information that I don't even bother trying to contact.
Called the phone number this morning and left a message.
I buy stuff off craigslist alot. It's kind of a nasty addiction. If there is no phone number I've always receive an email response. If there is a phone number most likely they aren't too computer savvy. Daughter or son may place the ad for grandpa. Skip the email contact and call the phone first. I've had pretty good luck. If they don't call back, just assume it is sold and move on. There will always be another one.
Just my experience with CL
David
I don't get it??? What's wrong with the orange counter top??? ::) ::) ::) :P
That seems a absolutely great price only if all the tires are good OR if there is not enuf rust that it is sway back OR if the engine and trans is even OK OR if the suspension isn't on the ground OR if the body isn't bashed up. Seems like a very promising deal unless,,,,,there is not a clear title. ;D
Sometimes people don't even respond to voicemails left for CL items. I wanted to buy something and never got a response to a voicemail and the ad disappeared a few days later. It wasn't like it was a real hot item.
Many times I never get email responses to CL ad either.
Some times it's feast or famine on CL,Got stiffed on a Golf Cart Saturday morning . you PAYS YOUR MONEY AND TAKE YER CHANCES" I always says. V
Just an update, I've called a couple of times and left voicemail...no return call. Anyone wanna hazard a guess at the year?
Dave that has to be some where late 01-05 models, I'm guessing. ;D
Dave not enough photos to tell if you could see the rear it would help I can not tell if it has a tag or a boggie looks like from what I can see it may have a boggie I am not for sure on that,it has 01 headlights
good luck.
here is a better view. i took and lightend them up a little. KEEP IN MIND I AM NOT THE OWNER.
I actually thought that the exterior pictures made the bus look pretty good...made me wonder if they were current or older pictures.
Cliff,
What would be the upside downside of a boggie vs tag for an Eagle?
John
I'll put my money on it's an 01.
I've heard the tag has a better ride, but that's always subject to ones point of view! ::) It also provides for a shorter turning radius. I've never ridden in anything other than our 01 so can't give an honest comparison.
Paul
No Drop box in an '01 - FWIW
Did anyone EVER succeed in contacting this guy? Learned what? Unless you are bidding or something, of course.
Thanks,
John
Tried to call this guy this morning and he answered his phone. Still for sale, sounds like it is parked in a trailer park and he is currently living in it. It is a 1966 and he has owned it for 3-1/2 years. Pictures were taken from a cell phone to post on C/L.
Thanks for the update Dave...Let us know what you find if you go for a look ;) ;)
Well I finally got down there and met up with the owner, Chris Chapman. He bought it about 3 years ago or so and has driven it around locally a few times and now is selling. Currently living in it. Probably needs to be redone inside, but like he says, it is what it is for the year. Outside is pretty straight down the sides. Front wheels are polished, rear/tag are steel, but all the Michelin tires are dry rotted. 8V71 fired right up. Some of the 1"x1" steel tubing is rusted, and there is rust around the windshield, etc but the sides looked straight. Rear cap has a big window in the back! Probably average condition for the year. Lots of the air/water/oil Aeroquip lines/hoses in the engine compartment have the cloth cover coming off, so probably hard as a rock and would all need to be replaced. Anyway, his contact number is (530) 736-2156. Serial #6882, I think he'll take $7,500
Thanks for the update Dave :) :) :)
