It is just an old bus... Either someone buys it for scrap value or more, or it goes to the recyclers where it belongs.

My plan is to stop its deterioration immediately...then to finish the conversion using as many of the original components as possible...

Basically I hope other enthusiasts would not want to see it destroyed...

I have a place to put it...and the skills to finish it...what I don't have...is the cash to stop its trip to the crusher.....

I know most folks don't care...but maybe enough will to add to what I do have...and keep it a bus...instead of window frames and beer cans.....
Coming soon.....need of a bus-friendly RV park.....that values Liberty!

Watch this space....

  You show some imagination to get others to buy you a bus to convert. I'll give you that. ::)

I've got an idea!  Let's all put our names in a hat, each pick one out and send that busnut $100...  okay send $1000.  That way everyone gets some help on saving an old bus, albeit their own.  Kinda like the gift exchange at Christmas.  Everyone wins, right?

I'm not really understanding this whole exercise.

But, we'd all get a t-shirt, right?

A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities. They're just as sensitive and soft-hearted as the next guy, but they hide their vulnerability beneath a crust of misanthropy.

This thread is weird. You want us to buy you a bus? Please explain.

If this model works...I'm going to try the same idea to save an old airliner....like a 727...

I'll donate if you promise not to save a 727. 

I hated that airplane.

   The tee shirt should have a picture of a guy with a fish hook and line lodged in his cheek and the saying...I HELPED SAVE THE BLACK BUFFALO BUS!!

Delivered new in April of 1969.

(JLV - You need to get that other book [like mine] and put it close to your computer so you don't forget the little details!   ;D  )

Dave -

They've been trying to sell that coach for at least 5 years. . .

FWIW & HTH. . .
