Check out this Bus Conversion

[David Brady]

Thanks for the update John. These old buses have a ton

of character and romance associated with them. They are

very tempting, but luckily, so far I've been able to resist.

Now if Jay Leno's totally reworked Flxible Clipper

should hit the market, I'm there! Otherwise, the parts and

maintence issues are too overbearing for me. I'll stick with

my LXi, thank you very much!

The fellows best number is $77K. That pretty much says all that

needs to be said on that deal. It was worth a couple hours of my

time to look at it. I think he is going to have a very challenging

time selling it at that price in this market but some people seem to

have a real talent doing deals. Nice people and I wished them the

best but that one is not for ole John.
