Title: 4102 on flatbed in Los Angeles.... a new purchase??
Post by: Hobie on February 27, 2008, 07:01:54 PM
I saw a nice 4102 or 4103 on a flatbed westbound on the Fwy 60 in Los Angeles today.   Not restored but looked in good shape.   One of us??  Nearly crashed trying to look at while I was driving east!

Someone north of Sacramento around Woodland on the northbound side of I/5 must have close to 50 old GM looking buses. I was running just in front of the storm at that point last weekend or I would have gone to look.

What you saw was Ted Campbell's place on the south side of Williams, CA.  Ted's a regular GM guru, and a legend in this area, like Luke is on the East Coast.  He's the chief technician for the Pacific Bus Museum, and some of their fleet is stored at his facility.   Here's the link to his website.  Ted mostly works nights, so email is best.

Thanks Russ,

I looked the address up for Coach Maintenance, I will be one hour away from them starting Monday for two weeks. If anyone wants me to look for anything let me know. I will run over and check out his Eagle stuff. You never know.

Paul,

Of course, you need to swing on down here to Bakersfield and visit with me and Don while you are out here!

Thanks for the offer Songman,

Russ asked me to stop in Fresno, don't know if I will even have the time to do that and Bakersfield is much further south. It all depends on how the job goes on if I will have the time or not. We'll see how it goes.

When I come to LA I'll definatley look you guys up. Don't know when that will be, you never know.

Be Safe,

Paul
