Here are some photos that show some of the "bad" items on the bus.

You could restore this one or use it for parts, your choice. It is located in Central Texas. We mainly used it for weekend or short trips, nothing over 300-400 miles

Everything on the bus works, but it will need tires and a motor to be road worthy. The tires are old and dry rotted, but possibly good to relocate it a short distance. The motor burns oil and runs hot during the summer. I pulled the radiator and had it cleaned, replaced water pump, and
flushed the system, it still ran hot. Someone said it could be getting to much gas, timing wrong, etc. so it had a major tuneup with carb rebuild, new plugs and wires, distributor reworked, etc., and it still ran hot. I don't know why it runs hot, but add in the oil burning, high miles, and I just figured it would need a motor.
