I want a Grayhound -Bus

[tevake]

The guy that I got my airstream coach from moved on to this Prevost. He is now selling to downsize.



Cheers Richard

Thanks for the order, Stan. Post a pic after they are applied.....

IDK what it is, but it was posted in the Random Transportation Pics thread:

A comment? This thread got under my skin. I have been binge watching "Bus Grease Monkey" on YouTube and scouring Craigslist for buses. Dammit. I don't need more projects! But wow, they are so cool!

Looks like his "coach" is hard wired with it's own power lines! Nothing like home away from home.

Same here. I'm really intrigued with the old Detroit 671.

[Racerbvd]

Tim, you should build one of these

This is an interesting YouTube channel about a guy who goes around the country in a bus, fixing other people's buses

That is a bus in need of serious spring/axle upgrades.
Or another axle at least.

Your two southern routes go through my neighborhood. The northern route would be only a few minutes north of me. I’d like to buy you lunch or a drink if you were able to make the trip. Let me know when you’re coming through.

[LWJ]

Afterburn,

You need to come further West! Lovely bus! Interior pics?

[speeder]

Northern route goes right past where I am now but it would depend on timing for catching me here. Of course I'd like to meet and may be able to help w mechanical needs.

I seem to recall some Wanderlodge discussion in this thread. One just popped up in AZ for 8k

"Needs interior work."

Understatement. Needs a hazmat team.

Well, it's not my thing, but it's got a little bit of retro appeal.

This is one of those things where you show up or take delivery, and what you saw in the pictures doesn't much resemble what you actually receive.

We did some house hunting at the end of last year, and some of the pics were very different from the actual homes.

It's interesting that in some of the pics there's carpet, but then as you get further through the pics, you're looking at press-board floors.

There’s a lot of cheap RVs like that. I’d never buy one site unseen, that’s for sure.

[afterburn 549]

Most RVs and trailers are made out of spit and staples.
The wood for structure is inch a quarter, and that was 30 years ago, You will NOT find anything like 2x4 in the walls.
I will bet most the stuff is even cheaper built now.
Buses are built much better and subscribe to conversion much better.
Some busses are of course better then others.
The Silver eagles are known for a HUGE rust problem.
Crown is a brand that many aspire to.
Most all the old GMC Greyhounds are good stock to deal with.
They have a huge following and even bus shows .

[Dan J]

That Bluebird is good stock. You could hire Zeke to rehab the interior
