Whats the asking price?

Check the footwells, all the interior joins (pannels, floor to side pannels etc... and the exterior joins for ANY signs of rust and shout back here. I'll happily check that the asking price is worth what your getting.

Take a magnet along to check the pannels haven't been fibreglassed also.

as its a 67 and is in "good" condition its very likly to be only about 30% original.

I'm going back this afternoon to find out what the bottom dollar price is, so i'll tell you then.
I've checked it all, and it looks good.
Hopefuly ill get it.

ah but papaw if its in texas its really sunny and hes not near the sea it may havr a better chance of not getting so rusty and being reapaird thats why so many unrestored buses come from overthere

[gulfsurfer]

Yea, this bus is coming from inland (about 300 miles). He hasnt even gotten to take it to the beach since he's had it. But as soon as i get it, it will be parked at the beach for a long time!

be prepared for rust mate

[gulfsurfer]

Yeah, ill wash it really really good each day after the beach. In Port A, we have a car wash thing that will wash the bottom of it and crap.

Machinical washers do more harm than good!
Best thing you can do to protect it is to give a solid layer of wax every two weeks or so after had washing it with soft sponge and shammy.

o ok

[gulfsurfer]

The deal fell through with the bus.
But its probably a good thing since it was so old itd prolly be in the shop all the time.

BUT,
Ok, im going to get made fun of this but i dont care,
ive been looking at honda elements, you know, the lunchbox car...They are really ugly but the inside is awesome. Back chairs flip up on the side where you got plenty of room to sleep, the interior is all waterproof, when one of my friends gets wasted and barfs all over my car i can just hose it out, or hose sand out. And you can fit a 10 foot board inside the car.
Im going to see if i can get the deal done on it friday and if i get it i gotta get prepared to be made fun of.

UgLy i like trucks better.

[gulfsurfer]

Trucks are a dumb vehicle for a surfer to own unless they have a shell on them. I like them and all, but you cant put racks on them unless theres a shell, and you dont have as much room inside.
I think this car is ugly too, but the inside is sick.

[gulfsurfer]

I just got home from picking it up at the dealership. Its sick!
It came with all this s h i t ill probably never need, but theres this circle tent type thing that you can use to get dressed in, so i figure that will be really good this winter when i need to put my wetsuit on or just need to get naked!
