Default The Bus Lives!

You got a square deal on that price ! Lots of parts for those old
Hippie Buses up here.
I saw one on E-Bay awhile ago. It had the Camper upgrades ( pantry in
the side door, etc.), and was in pristine shape.No lifting roof like
the Vanagons, in that era. Neat old Vans, that's for sure. The
Gasoline heaters could be a pain, though.
Be sure to post a pic after painting !

------------------------------------

The one I have is a camper version but without the pop up roof.
It's the old style with the split front windshield.
Inside, there's an icebox type refrig, a water tank with a manually operated
pump/facet and the rear seat folds down to form a bed of sorts. It's
pretty cool and runs perfectly.

The guy I bought it from was a mechanic who rebuilt the engine, replaced
floor pans and converted it from 6 volts to 12. He was a decent mechanic,
but a terrible body and paint guy. It needs to be sanded all down,
smoothed out and re-painted. Actually has runs in the current paint, if you
look closely.

The year on the website is in error. It's not a '66. It's a '65 with a lot
of '66 parts.
