Does any one have information on the 1966 MCI challenger custom factory bus on eBay?
I get no responce from the seller.
Thanks Kevin
Hmmm......$14,000 starting bid, only 4 pictures of the outside, and no other info or description? I don't think that this one will get any bids, i know i wouldn't bid on it as is. Seller needs to have a lot better presentation if he wants to sell it.
A link to it?

Lot of newer fully converted Buses in that price range. If its just a Bus with seats its not worth anywhere near what hes asking.
Like to have the Challenger Badge off it????

That same bus sold a couple of years back for 4500 bucks wonder what improvements he did for the extra 10,000 it still looks the same a wore out old hound bus
good luck
Beware of the bus before beware of the dog!
Looks pretty good for a 45 year old 5A. Of course you want to see more pictures.

I'm hearing that more and more.. I can't understand why a seller will go to the trouble of advertising a bus and then not want to answer questions, respond to emails, or return phone calls. Back when I was searching for a bus, I know of 3 different sellers that trying to get any info out of them was like trying to pull teeth. If a seller doesn't want to respond to you then look elsewhere.. Usually there is a reason a seller doesn't want to answer a specific question. There are lots of buses out there and alot better buys than what this guy is offering.

I just had a friend buy a $25000 boat over Ebay but advertised by a broker of some sorts for the seller. Limited pictures and such. Advertised as an 8 of 10. When he drove 700 miles to complete the transaction it was more like a 2 of 10 and a total pos! The owner couldn't understand why he didn't want it. Luckily it just cost him time and gas. It takes all kinds.
OK starting to get some info on this bus, but owner still not telling me what the factory customs are. I know the bus is way over priced and I'm not going to buy any thing on eBay that I haven't seen in person and had a mechanic check it out. I don't think that it will sell for that price. When it has been some time they might take 1/2 of what they are asking for it. I got the number Well this tell me about the history of the bus. The number is 220768017546 is there a place on line I can look it up or can one of you busnut tell me any thing about this bus? I really like the Challengers.
Thanks kevin
What is that number supposed to be? The serial number/vin for a 66 MCI will only be 4 numbers.
That is too many numbers for a 1966 MCI 5 bus for me maybe RJ can tell you when it was numbered like that ,it has the Hound destination sign
good luck
I think that it is the Vin is there another number that would help.Where would they find it.
Open the doors on the back and look up on the wall between the fan cages. Should be a plate there with the 4 digit VIN and a 4 digit unit number.
Originally there was another plate that was mounted on the front corner of the luggage rack just behind the drivers head, but these got moved when the racks were torn out. They are supposed to be remounted somewhere else but not everyone did that. It can make for problems at the DMV, i only had the one in the back but i was able to show them a picture of where the front one had been. They accepted that,.... about 4 years later i found the other one underneath the covering on the sidewall of my stairs. ;D
Thank you Ed I will ask the owner to look there. I'm miles away in Boise ID.
Kevin
Mine was in the back between the fans also and in the left cabinet above the drivers seat where my breaker box is. It was inside the door screwed to the backside of it. In our 5C
