I thought I'd post a light-hearted post for all you skoolies folks...I quote,
"1949 school bus. Needs a little work. Ms Frizzle left this thing sitting here a long time ago and has not been back for it, so it has got to go! Sold as is. No title."
listed for $2500

Judging by the moss and mold growing on it I'd think Ms.Frizzle left it there in 1949 I think it's priced too low for a vehicle with that patina and character.

You must watch fast and loud when they do that with an old Ford PU then declare it slick and sell it for BIG cash because THEY say its cool.
