There was a bus like that parked at the dealer with a "pre-loved" sticker on it. I think it was Rick Swafford's.

Pretty sure it was a '69.

Not mine... mine was a 69 Kombi, no trim... That's a deluxe model.  I swear i remember that bus though.  Probably from the Lockhart days.

had it been t boned at one time in the drivers side, if so then yes,  it was the only bus that i owned,  i think it was a 70 because it had a bunch of one year only stuff well atleast the master cylinder

Yep, it had been t-boned in the driver's side. If you look at the 3rd picture from the top, you can see the section that the current owner has cut out . . . it's wrinkled up pretty bad behind the cut out area too.  It looked like the impact was centered about floor level . . . the floor has been pulled back out somewhat, but some of the floor will also have to be cut out and replaced.

I've seen a 1950's truck this guy has brought back from the dead . . . I'm sure when he's done with it you won't be able to recongnize it.

This bus is up for sale if anyone is interested.  He's asking $1500, but I'm sure he would take a little less.  It's been two years since I saw and drove it, but it's been stored inside.  Despite the stripped out interior and a bunch of metal missing from the floor and side, this thing drove great!  Mechanically, it's ready for the road.  Needs some bodywork, but if you are fairly handy with a welder and a paint gun, I don't really think it would take much to make it look good again.

By the way, it's got a brand new (they are a couple of years old, but have less than 10 miles on them) set of tires . . . GOOD tires.  8 ply sidewalls.  This bus handles better than any bus I've ever driven.

Oh, yeah, it comes with an extra motor.  It will run, but it's probably just good for parts.  It ran out of oil and it now knocks . . . but it's complete.  And there's always a chance a set of bearings may be all it needs . . . but don't count on it for much more than a parts engine.

If you are interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch with him.  He's in GA . . . I didn't think to ask him about a title.  I can find out if that's an issue for you.  I would buy it, but I've already got Homer sitting in the yard needing some attention and costing me insurance cause I keep thinking I'll start driving him again next week.

My old thing was on cl a little while ago

just took another look at the pictures,  guess it was mine at one time.  the one that got away was definatly the 73 thing,  wish i still had two
