Funny, my family saw a purple one much like that just last Sunday on I-44 just south of St. Louis (heading into St. Louis). We both stopped at the same station for fuel.
i actually met the dude!!! totally cool 17 year old kid has it.. he is going to the career center for school and using it to learn on in his studies and gets school credit for it.. 87 Bluebird with a 7.3 IDI and a 5 speed stick. he is converting it.. has his frig and some framing built and getting ready to start on the shower.. super cool dude that is stoked about learning all aspects of the bus and conversions..
totally cool to see him DOing it and not just talking about it!.
