Bigdish more or less lives "behind" a small church in Devine. Did you get it from Bryce? |

You'll be kicking yourself in the ass 10 years from now. I know I am.
All the cool busses I've had now gone. Traded for money. Busses gone and the money doesn't hang around too long. Always goes somewhere.
I was thinking the same thing Ev. Those two do look alot alike. |
So true. I regret those that got flipped or MISSED (a 62 4 cam Carrera GT for $3500), but call it stubbornness, I still have a 56 single cab and a 58 23 window. Since 1985. Storage was not as secure as it should have been with a leaking roof over the 23, but: coulda, woulda, shoulda.

"German Scrape Metal". Don't they lay frame below the asphalt finish grade? Their motto-"So low we can't go".

Wasn't this bus on the cover of the August 92 issue of SHotVW's?
Sorry. I had to. Terrible. I will regret posting this in a few minutes. I'm sure that joke was made a long time ago regarding the famous bullet bus... or whatever vague recollection I have of it is. |

I got a call from a contact that knew I was looking for one. Unfortunately he is 7 months too late. I bought and finished up a 61 recently and am not sure I want two single cabs. I still couldn't pass up the opportunity as the patina is incredible. Comes from the interior of BC where it is a lot drier than the coast. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter |
