Flxible Bus on CL

Just found this scouring the Chicagoland CL. I think it's too much even though you get 2 buses and a running chassis with a Cummins Diesel.

that's just cool.. think of the towing!

Am I the only one who looks at that, and wants to hack the back half off of the body so I can turn it into a 1960s-style race transporter?

Damn you Aussie! Now i'm wanting buses lol

No. Definitely not the only one.

There are 1 too many zeros on the asking price

I don't know if I would chop it. Looking at the seams, you could possibly make it open both up and out. Add ramp...perfect combo.

Awesome. I love the art deco styling.

Price seems insane, though. IIRC, Aussie didn't pay anything like that for his bus.

I'd be tempted to take a chunk out of the middle an make a VW Macrobus. (large VW pic for effect)

Correct, definitely not the only one... I was just looking at it trying to figure out where exactly to cut and leave enough interior room for the wife and kiddos.

More for less.

Can we start a $20130 bus class for the challenge?

The autocross course will need to occupy a lot the size of Scandinavia, but yea, I think that would be an awesome addition to the Challenge.

That would be a cool project to drop an old streamliner bus onto a new bus chassis, but you'd need a crane to lift the body, it's not like you can get 6 of your in-shape buddies to help you lift it, like a car body.

In reply to 914Driver:

Please don't post such things. They tempt me.

Heres a cheaper one.

I like the double decker.

I wonder how many miles you can get out of a bus? This one has 570,000! I would not think bus miles are easy miles.......

You could probably cut a chunk out of the lower back of the double decker to accept a car (with flip-down ramps)...then the lower floor's your garage (I wonder if you could roll cars straight in, store 2 or 3?) and the upper floor's your RV...maybe trim the floor of the upper back (put beds on top) and put an engine hoist above the rearmost car area...MUAHAHA YOU CAN'T UNREAD THIS!

If you have $1500 and don't need a bus .....

While you have the Saw-Zall out, move the engine to the front.

HELL YES. Racecar transport below, living quarters above.

Oh...good point. Maybe a hydraulic side-lift instead?
