Nice Silver Side

I don't normally post this stuff - I'm not even into these. But this caught my attention.
This seems like a great deal on a really clean bus.

Interesting. Someone will probably make this happen and restore this. I sure hope so at least.

Is 'silverside' a generic term? I thought it referred to a particular GM model

And, yes, this looks like an excellent basis for a rolling restoration that could be done for a relatively modest cost, and the end result would be quite something (and it's pretty damn cool just as it is)

Fun trying to find a windshield for it.

Well, it doesn't appear to need one yet, so you have time to save the $5000 up for a custom one

The windscreens only look to have a simple curve (ie, not a compound curve) so I reckon you could replace that cracked one with plexiglass if you had to, although that may technically be against construction and use regs.

Also just to mention that the back of my bus had a curved glass panel which (I was amazed to find when I removed it) was actually a flat sheet of toughened glass that was bent into place - you wouldn't think that you could bend glass, but you can. Of course it wasn't bent anything like as much as the curve of that Beck's windscreen
