Some people buy the whole bus to get the badge huh Boomer lol

Yup, but I sold the bus for what I paid for it, after removing the goodies LOL. Larry is going to turn it into an expresso stand. Sounds like Paul is giving away my trade secrets.

Bill, depending on price I would be interested in the following:

All the marker light lenses/bezels (note, great care should be taken when removing, they are very fragile)

The headlight surrounds. These are the stainless corregated units behind the trim ring. Only if they are not dented

Emergency door window. Only if not cracked or fogged.

Center dashboard plate with the GHL imprint.

Front bumper blade. Only if not wrinkeld.

Thanks,
Mark

no kidding! can't believe it is getting scrapped! someone gotta get it!

DMoedave · October 22, 2011, 09:38:57 PM

i would be interested in the mirrors and mounts, driver and door windows if they have working roller mechanisms and the crank handles. I could also use the headlight chrome trim rings and the steering wheel if it is not cracked. Hope she gets saved. Is the motor still running? what are the problems? Dave

I have been looking for the front turn signal lenses and metal hold on edges for several years. I would be very interested in those parts if you could get them. Please.

The coach runs. Owner said he'll take bids on it. They think it is a 10k bus. I didn't give him a bid but left my biz card and told him I'd pay better than scrap prices. I think it would make a great parts donor.

I'll keep ya'll posted
