It has been my observation over quite a few years that celebrity buses are just buses, that their history does not increase their value one bit, with the possible exception of Elvis.

What do you guys think is a fair price for that coach ? A side from the fact that it was owned by Willie Nelson.

We are the afflicted, the fallen, and the wounded.  We are born into separateness, suffering, and eternal longing for those particular things just outside our reach.

Our salvation lies not in the things of this world, but that is where we seek it.
For to do otherwise would tank the economy, and then we'd be really screwed.

$15K or best offer.  I don't care if Willie ever rode in it or not.

It is 102 wide X 40 ft I would say in the high 20's or low 30's I have always liked that bus you will never see another Eagle with the mirrors mounted on the sides instead of up front by the windshields at least I never have

The Rosa Parks TDH is probably the only bus around where who rode on it determines its value.

The former owner of a bus could make big difference.  It would get plus points if it were owned by a bus competent mechanic or someone with OCD regarding maintainance.  On the other hand, were it owned by a church or ministry, it would be dangerous.  In any case, whether the former owner could sing or not would not effect anything.

When I want to sell my bus, I will claim that George Washington rode in it.  I really do think that in all its Greyhound years, at least one GW must have.

Yeah, I just think it's a good looking bus - from the pix. Obviously, a closer inspection would have to be done.
I also think if a person wanted to hang on to it long enough, it could up the value as opposed to another similar bus.
And Lin makes a VERY good point!! People with money "can" afford more picky PM than the average church. Especially if they have a schedule they need to meet.
  (too bad they already "cleaned" it.  ::)

LMAO, that was a funny comment about Obumma Clifford.  I bet that Eagle has weed hidden in every nook and cranny.  Gives new meaning to "runnin' on biofuel".
