I stumbled across this 63 bus near my work the other day. I needs a complete interior, paint in and out, and two bench seats. Engine was rebuilt 3 months ago (1500 SP). Has the freeway flyer "Big Nut" tranny. Runs and drives well.

My question is: does anyone have any real world experience with the restoration costs of one of these. I could not find any rust of consequence (checked all the usual suspects). Some surface rust on the floor. No bondo either. So it's a solid original with good mechanicals but needs restoration. And I'm not into over-restoration - I love survivors, so if there's a decent way to give it the kind of paint job it left the factory with, that would be plenty fine.

The seller needs to get rid of it - I think I can get it for around $7,500. What do you think?
