Comments
I bought this bus as it was a good, rust free California bus and had it restored and refreshed earlier this year. I didn't restore this as a "show bus", but as nice looking, functional camper bus to be used and enjoyed. My hope was for my wife and I to use it for camping and adventure as we're preparing to be "empty nesters", but we've since decided we could better use the funds for our youngest daughter's college expenses. We never camped in it since the restoration, but I've been driving it regularly to work out any issues. There are currently no mechanical issues and everything works as it should. I say "currently" as in "at this moment". It is a classic, 46 year old bus after all :-).
Please feel free to ask any questions.
And please buy our Chianti Camper and adventure with it!
Thanks for looking!
