I have no interest in this bus nor the party selling it. Seen it and thought I'd share.

I live aprox 2 hours west of this rig and can recommend a shop or two in the area.

At that price I wouldnt be surpised if it goes to the scrapper

That one won't go to the scrapper Eric the emblems on the sides are worth big bucks that is a collectors bus only 51 built and most are still around fwiw if it wasn't so far I would buy it wonder what engine ? they had 3 different engines the Cummins,Man and Detroit

good luck

I hope it dont go. but I know of alot of scrappers who wouldnt ever take the time to research its value.

One of my budys did the same thing with a silverline bus. Before I knew of it he had it destroyed.

It looks to be all original, pretty rare bird indeed.

I have seen those side emblems on eBay for half of what they are asking for the bus. I hope someone saves it.

Those are nice for conversions the roof doesn't need to be raised, a true T drive plenty of room in the engine compartment any engine can be installed with very little work

good luck

If only I had a place to store it, I'd get it. That would be a good one to hang on to. I like the taller roof and the overall look. Oh well.

Humboldt, KS looks to be in far eastern Kansas. It is about 120 miles south of Kansas City and about 120 miles west of Witchita. If you're headed straight home to Montana it looks to be about 300 miles extra.

Man that bus has a lot of potential. I wish I had the time.
