Soo.... Why didn't someone haul that thing out before someone hacked it up? |

It´s safe in a garage. No one hacked it up. They just left some useless rusty crap.
But someone forgot the interior light
And I´m pretty sure we will see it back on the road in a couple of years... I think the restoration has already started. |

I was interested in this one about 5 years ago, then I heard that someone had cut the tags out, and taken some more of the parts, so it became a bit confusing about who owned the bus, and who if anybody owned the identity! _________________ To catch a fish, you must first think like a fish.... |

Someone on here cut the tags out, so should be easy to get back. Why on earth they would do that is another question all together. _________________ 1963 Squareback
