Oh for the want of a dollar or two!
If I had a billion I would not waste it like this!
And as far as the Rosa Parks bus...I don't remember the cost they paid to restore it...however I thought it could have been done at a much lower cost!

People pay a lot of bucks for history but someone to pay that amount would have to be a big big Bob Wills fan.
Most of you guys here probably don't remember Jim Reeves a country star from the late 50's and 60's but I found his Flx in Texas and sent Dreamscape some photos of it still converted the way it was when he was killed in a plane crash



good luck

I thought it might be cute to offer 5 bux but then I looked at the pictures and thought "what if he accepts it?"

I really don't think the guy is off base at all, as a matter of fact it's probably a bargain, unfortunately, I'm not looking for another bus right now, tho if one appeared I would be willing to adopt it, as a matter of fact I have a bus that was the personal bus of a blues singer at one point, and we all know that buses owned by entertainers carry a lot of value.

THIS is why you should never sneeze when posting an Ebay ad.  You might turn $399 into $399,999!

I'd offer him a dollar and a half for it, but he just might take me up on the deal!

I was tempted to click "Ask a question" to ask "what are you smoking?"

I was going to offer a lot more for it, but now that I see how low the price is, I am concerned that there is probably something wrong with this bus.

Just needs a wash and wax job and maybe a little touch up paint in one or two spots. ;D

Then we outta be in high cotton, Cody. You've got a blues singer's ex- bus and some day I might get famous (sigh).   How 'bout we open a specialty bus outlet... we'e already got nearly $1 million in assets. Outta be plenty of collateral to borrow some serious operating money.
