This is the third or fourth time this bus has been listed.  I wonder what gauge siding he used?  It looks REAL thin and wavy to me.  Merry Christmas Everyone!

That looks terrible! Even if it wasn't warped it would look terrible. But hey, they are on the road. That is more than I can say so I won't throw any stones.

I've seen this thing advertised elsewhere, it always reminded me of Frankenstein.  Muhahahah

Alot of times I look at other peoples coaches to get an idea of what to do, however sometimes i also look to get an idea of what not to do.

That right there, is a perfect example of what NOT to do!!


Yeah I've seen this bus listed on ebay quite a few times.  I'm beggining to think pretty soon the guy will spend more money on advertising the coach to sell it than how much he actually spent on this.  Last I remember hes been trying to sell it since at least august!

I for one think the owner is proud of his work, not my cup of tea though, but I bet many hours were spent building it. Sad to say only the guy that built it will enjoy it. It's been listed many times.

I've ran across this particular bus not only on Ebay but other bus listings as well. It does tend to stand out. Lowest it was listed was at $25000 and one ad had it at $55000.

This shows how each coach is suited to individual taste.  We customize them so narrow to a design that suits our taste that others may think it is wayyyy out there.   To me this one is wayyyy out there, but I bet the owner was really proud of it when he finished it.  I hope he finds a happy home for it someday.

Reminds me of the old Crown and Gillig pancake engined book mobiles and studio grip trucks where they basically cut off the bus behind the driver's area and made a cargo box grafted to the bus left over the driver's area.  Yes-it would be a brick going down the road, but that's how you maximize the interior area when the bus is just a 96" wide.  The extra 6" to 102" wide is noticable.  Good Luck, TomC

My guess is when he built it he love it, as he probable thought it is unique and there will be none other like it. But now that he wants to sell it has become an albatross around his wallet. Personally I don't think it looks very good, and I think a lot of people think the same thing because its been for sale a long time with no buyer. The thing is an ugly ducking, and at that price makes it hard to swallow. This is a good example of why you want to try and make your conversion as attractive as possible in case you want to sell it later.

maybe he should donate it to charity & take it as a tax write off

[wvanative]

LOL I'm not sure any charity would want it looking the way it does right now. I think he needs to restore the roof to it original look to sell it, but with the state of the economy he's just in a losing situation with such a butt ugly bus. Then it will still be hard to sell because he has it priced so high, and he would never get back the cost of changing the roof back. I feel sorry for him. If he gave it to my charity the first thing I'd do is tear the roof, and the sides off, and return it to a more conventional look.
