I found this cheap bus project in Charleston. It looks pretty rough. If anyone could get her to east Tennessee in one piece I bet she could clean up really nice.

Well this is completely false advertising, that bus is not 71 feet long.

That body looks familiar, like a kit from the '70s. It's not a Vee body, though. Still rear-engined, I notice. ASbug, weren't we talking about you getting something like this to make street-legal?

Is that shift knob a glass doorknob? Sweet... ???

Bullgatti kit car ?   The FV looking thing might make a pretty good "poor man"  Auto-cross car if the gear shift lever wasn't in the middle. You don't won't to miss a shift to second gear and your hand slips off. You voice might go up about 2 octaves. ;D ;D

What about all those FJs in the background!!! Those are pretty cool.

JT Outfitters does a lot with cruisers; I bought disc brake and power steering kits for my FJ40 from them.

I wish this guy had posted some better pictures with the ad. Regardless, this seems a lot cheaper than most of the split window projects on The Samba.

It looks like this guy is giving up on his bus project. This would be great for anyone not afraid of rust or someone who just needs the parts.
