Accepting offers

I have discovered that the bus has some electrical problems which I do not have time to deal with. Bus runs and drives - preferably short distance (about 100-300 miles).

So, I am accepting ANY offers.
******************
MAIN CRITERIA - bus need to be removed from its present location at the end of March 2024.
******************

Known problems at this time:
- Fuel shut off solenoid does not work well (engine runs without it).
- Turn signal does not work (but emergency flasher does)

If you are serious about taking over this project or have questions - PM me.

I'm in Vancouver, WA. Would there be a good time to come out and take a look at what you have?
