not so nice 4104

Serious accident   ?
I wonder if it had anything to do with an engine falling on him?

Now that would sting........

And leave a mark!!

I've contacted the seller and I think that I've convinced him that his best option now is to part it out.  Looks like he's just off I-80 between Davenport and Cedar Rapids.

I need to know where to send the guys in white suits to pick you guys up!

Guess it dawned on him how he was going to make the 454 turn left


good luck

This guy gets the Jerkoff of the month award! And is almost certain to win Jerkoff of the year 2010! What a foolish waste.

I see no reason to bad mouth the seller.  He's just a guy that screwed up and I think now he knows it.  We've exchanged a couple of notes and he seems like a decent sort, having some hard times like many of us.  I even invited him to come to this board for advice on what to do.

If you have a 4104, he may prove to be a good source of parts.

I agree, it hurts me to the core to see a bus like this go to the scrapper because of a foolish mistake, but it is certainly not the first or last time it's going to happen.

A little compassion might be in order.

Hey has anyone thought of buyin' it as is and re-installing the engine laying there! Shoot sounds reasonable enough to me! (ain't those 6-71 hard to hurt?)

He probably just looked at HP but not at torque or RPMs, something a lot of people would do.

A 671 is no HP monster for sure.

  You guys can probably guess I was looking for a 4104 when I found that beast. Im actually looking at one back up in Minnesota. But that one runs and drives. Im thinking in the end it might be better ( or just as good) to start with one thats never been molested. We'll see.

maybe I'm missing something, but the bus doesn't look much worse then the Scenic I just bought. The difference being someone didn't remove my engine and let it sit in the weather. For the purists. I would think this bus to be quite the find?? If the bus wasn't chopped up removing the cradle/engine, why not try the original engine, with a back up plan to find a running used engine for it? Seems it would be easier to put a good powerplant back in this bus, than try to unconvert a motorhome to a seated arrangement....

Looks like alot of work, but then, "alot" is a relative term.

Appears at first glimpse to be all there. I'd frankly love to have it about just for bits and pieces, but a determined soul could surely put 'er back into serviceable condition. All it takes is time, money and knowledge, I suppose.

These are great 'ol buses, no doubt about it. I sure love mine!

I wonder why the front of it has been replaced? Also the panel under the driver window. Perhaps that corner took a hit? The front is missing the correct headlights and the fresh air inlet which should be behind the GM logo.
