1976 Bus in Raleigh, NC area - $500

Post by Quadratrückseite » Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:56 am

Saw this on craigslist in the Raleigh, North Carolina area - wanted to pass it along. I'm personally not a big fan of the paint job & interior... :pukeleft: but, it should be saved. $500. I don't know the bus or the owner.

Please come get this beauty out of our yard! We aren't doing anything with it and it has to go. A few quick points:
It is only a shell, no engine, trannsmition or brakes. This is definitely a project for an adventurous vdub lover. It was a show bus and had a trophy inside when we aquired it. It has custom Sew Fine door panels which are black, pink & white. They are pretty nice. It's a lost title vehicle with a little rust. The side door fell off the track yesterday. Email me your phone number if you would like to discuss things about it. There are a few more minor details, email with your number and we'll call to talk about it. :)

The more I look at this thing - the more I want it! I could use a lot of the body parts off of it...if only my wife would go along with it!

Quad, setn you a PM, but how far are you from there?
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I don't know where they are at, but I'm assuming it's the Raleigh NC area, and I'm 15 minutes from Raleigh.

I found the zipcode on the ad - it's probably about 15 miles from me.
