hmmm....well... I took a close look at it today and am not to sure about the deal. I has many little dings, needs a back window. Has some rust starting off pretty good near the rear taillight, as well as on the corner of both the passenger side and driver side floor pan. Actually, it has rusted through completly, about the size of my fist. No headliner, ripped seats... starting to sound like alot of work to be done here. I talked with the shop that rebuilt the engine, and the owner used to own the bus, he said the bore from 16 to 1776 was done about 9 years ago. All this, for $600. I could fix it up and dump an unknown amount of cash into it, or buy one in better shape for probably close to the same or less.. I'm not to sure.. went and looked at a '73 with a 1500cc with 1000miles on it, as well as headers and a beefed intake. Its sounds like a good runner, but isnt beautiful. Wants $1850 for that one.. probably offer $1400. God, all I want is a bus that runs good, and looks halfway decent. hmmmmm...
