Hi there
Dave here.
I'm not new to buses, I currently have a 70 Doormobile and a 67 deluxe with 2
project buses on the side.  I have an opportunity to pick up an 85
waterpumper automatic.

It has about 150k, bodies in good shape (the good).

It's sat for 3 years.  The Fuel injection was removed in favor of dual
DellOrto's.  New tyres 3 years ago (didn't look for dry rot but that's a
given).  Hasn't been turned over in 1.5 years. (the bad)

Asking price is $500.  I've paid about that for a real rough doublecab but
htis is a different beastie.

What do y'all think, is this worth it or should I run away?  What should I
pay particular attention to,/look for/be wary of?  All constructive thoughts
welcomed and many thanks in advance.

Mad Uncle Dave
