Well, let's see... a 6 hour round trip drive (at these new higher gasoline prices!!), plus rental of a towbar, and a day off work to pick up a bus that is not a deluxe, has severe rust, and hasn't rolled for 20 years? (Could be a hassle just getting it towable.) Marginally worth it for free, not worth it for a price. The Pa. contingent is no longer falling over himself to get this bus. I'm glad I read this post before heading out. Think I'll hold out for a closer one, or one in better shape (maybe a deluxe?), if I'm going to pay anyway. Just left a note on the door of a house with a '65 single cab in the yard, just as horribly rusted, last inspected in '84. Wonder if it's free? Ron Salmon
