My first Home! Its Vintage and On Wheels LOL

[IanT720]

Well I'm psyched! I Just bought my first home, and drove her to my parents house where I currently reside.. So backstory, I'm 22, used to be a light duty mechanic, have a couple car projects, and several motorcycle projects... But something was missing from my life... A Bus!! As a huge fan of the Tiny house movement, I've explored all options, and think a bus is a fantastic option, specifically coach types.. So I went looking, and found this gem... Its a 1972 Blue Bird Pusher, probably close to 40 feet long, has a Big Block Chevy... And best part... its has a professionally done conversion finished!! Now this conversion was done in the 80's the style will tell you that but, the bones are great, no mold, not musty smell, and no mouses... Yay! I bough the bus for only $5k, and drove it home with no issues besides a gunky carburetor... I plan to throw some money at it to make it into a old school swanky bachelor pad I've always wanted... Will start a build thread in a different section...

The older Wanderlodges are built like tanks but I have to wonder about mpg's with that gasser.

Roxanne.

New pulls/handles on the cabinets, maybe even paint the cabinets to lighten it up. New cushions will make it fresh.

That bus doesn't remind me of my fiance in any way!?

From my experience with BBC's no matter the load, how much your ripping on it, or driving easy... Your probably going to get 7mpg lol I'm very familiar wit gas motors, alos parts are much cheaper, and they are easier to upgrade if I want more power! Plus its fun that my bus.. My BUS sounds like a muscle car lol...
