How about a 534 Ford industrial engine Ed saw that one before I thought it was one of the Flxs along with the red and creme colored that was sold and shipped to Australia I wonder how Walker gets by with listing and selling other people buses?

Isn't this the guy who takes pictures of your bus off the Internet, puts them on the website for three times the worth of the bus, and if he gets a nibble he'll try to buy the bus from you?  If you won't sell it to him, he tells the buyer "it's already been sold".

Do you think there's an extra zero there?  If so, not bad.

Yup.. that would be the guy.

When we were shopping buses earlier this year we came across this site and got all excited to find a 'bus depot'.  We quickly realized what he was up to, and had fun playing along.

We called him about one of the buses listed, and he immediately conference called us in with the owner of the bus, pretending to be the buyer himself.  He lead the conversation, never disclosed we were on the line with him and never got a word in edgewise.

While this was happening, we found the original ad on eBay with the price at least 1/2 or a 1/3 of the listed price on bargainbusnews.com. 

He must be occasionally successful with his approach to keep 'in business', and that makes me sad that folks fall for it from time to time.

Boy, that interior looks like something out of a 1983 luxury conversion van, doesn't it?

Says Diesel with manual transmission-when its a Ford FE block with automatic.  Who do you believe?  Good Luck, TomC

I've seen that bus before, probably on these pages, but can't find it now.

Are ya sure that ain't the new Detroit experimental model in disguise?

Also hey ain't no law against Sam listing other peoples buses as long as they get what they want and the buyer gets what they want.
(not that I'm a fan or even like it) It's called "brokerage" and happens in all types of business and sales.
(it's I know where what ya want or need is, and for X amount of dollars it's yours ~ I can move that for you for X amount of dollars and the guy in the middle makes his cut to make it worth his time!)
