Well.... If you must... At least stop by for a barley pop while you are in town

That's a good idea. We have other friends up that way too -- Kinetic Sculpture Racing friends in Corvallis and other places. Burning Man friends every few inches the whole way. The trip might take a month!

Those are Chinese Michelin knock-offs.

isnt a bus like that goinbg to command somewhat of a premium by the mere fact it still has usefulness as a bus? the overhead racks, nicer seats, Air-conditioning...

seems there would be better candidates for skoolie conversion..

I fully expect it to be out of my price range pretty quick... But I like the color scheme lol.
I actually know what bus I am purchasing, just trying to get the timing of the purchase to coincide with the time I have off.

Just caught this on CL - thought I would pass along. Looks like a really clean bus. And yes, I know that the price is higher than auctions, but given the condition, three window units, the engine and the fact that it is all mechanical, I figure someone will want it lol. We have decided to try and keep overall length under 30' so this is a no go for us.

Found this conversion today - 1948 Flxible Clipper Bus - $16000 - suspect that someone really loved this bus before they passed away.

30 miles on rebuilt engine and trany - https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/5990077337.html

Scam or buyers remorse?



Edit: It is the same seller with a (360) phone number and I noticed that the Phoenix ad is 26 days old so it was running concurrently with the ad in Seattle.

It lists it as a dt466, and then says 8 cylinder...
But other than that it looks like a nice bus... Ask if she has a sister for me!
