the reason it don't look right is the WV2YB part ... it's ok to have
been built in Hannover, but not as a YB bus.
should have been  WV2ZZZ242 ... something ain't right, that's fer
sure. but the graz production of all buses
didn't start til much later of that year, 1990 (not 91).

besides, this turkey in Cedaredge, CO has screwed up before ...
he put a light blue doublecab in ebay before ... with the same vin as
a burgundy automatic in st. paul, mn!!!!
WV2YB0257LH061939!!!

so, caveat emptor!!!!
