(2) Silversides and a Flx collection for sale

Boomer · December 05, 2021, 10:05:09 AM

I am trying to help a friends family sell these buses due to a death in the family. I know the two Silversides pretty well. The Flx has a nice low mile Series 50 with a B500, professionally installed. The bus itself has been vandalized and is heavily rusted out, but the drive train is real nice. All of them run and drive. PM me for info if interested.

Prices on the Silversides are 2,500 each or 4,500 for both. Pretty good buys.

Dang Mark! If only I had a place to stash these, I'd take em' all!

All the best

Me too, Van. I might take one anyway. That 50 Series and B500 is really a sweet set up. Jake and retarder, Davco 380, nice air cleaner, new starter, nice installation.

Are they located in WA state?
They are priced to move it seems to me. Worth it just for parts. How far would you venture to drive them?

Those would look good at your new place on the golf course Mark and Kathy wouldn't mine I am sure

but a 9 iron for a neck tie you may not like

LOL, yeah Cliff there is only so much that even a good woman can take. Sonia and Kathy are worth their weight in gold! Put an ad on Craigslist-Eugene last night and the phone lit up like a slot machine. Three showings today, and all three guys wanted both buses. Will see who wins.

Both of the Silversides sold within 12 hours of posting on CL. One fellow bought both. Flxible still for sale.

Hey Boomer,
I know you are trying to help people. I will PM two names and phone numbers of National Flxible guys that might know someone to bite on that, even just for parts.

Here are pictures of the 1960 Flxible Starliner and engine. Price is 3,500 for all. Sold on bill of sale as parts bus only, but starts, runs, well. No title. S50/B400, pro conversion.

. A good cheap setup for a MCi or Eagle owner for a swap from a old 2 stroke

Wow thought I'd never see this one again. Engine conversion was done by Gary Benett and myself @ B&B CochWorks.

That's one heck of a deal. Wish it was easier to get things across the border.

Clifford this bus was a hot rod after the engine swap. RJ drove the Gillig Phantom donor engine/trans bus back from Eureka to the shop for us.

I hope the guy that was going to do a full restoration on the bus is ok
