Sam, calm down. It is not bone stock, but aside from yours, are any bone stock?
The parts are no longer available to do a quality restoration. I would have
said that it was between a ‘63 and a ‘66, but that was based on the over easy
egg front turn signals and no back up lights. Once again, after all the
comments, I remember that any bus has stuff that came off the train that day.
When I was working on Murray’s front suspension I found that there were 3
different suspensions on a ‘63. I have a small rear window. If you ask around
you will find that the ‘63 had the big rear window. Not mine. They had a small
window cargo hatch that day, so they stuck it on.
I find it educational and entertaining all the discussion about church key gas
filler doors and the latch to the engine door, but the thing that may be the
sign of the times id that the bus is for sale for $18 freakin’ thousand and
$500 more. That is probably reasonable nowadays. That is just hard to wrap my
head around.

.Sammie I talked Derrick at Wayout last night. He worked on this bus.
It is an early 67.

67s do not have a church key, they have a finger lip to pull
open the door and are spring loaded. But, as noted, the bus has a bumper
combination for 64 and earlier busses. I think it is probably a 67 with
incorrect bumpers.

Did a '67 not have a church key?
I don't see a hole on the gas door.

Where are you guys seeing the pictures of the rear of
the bus? All I see are the three photos that Denis sent. Light washed out the
dash and can't see the radio hole, which would tell if it is a 67 or not.
However, photo of bus does show a slash front bumper and what appears (but hard
to tell) is a pointed rear bumper. If it has a pointed rear and front slash
(assuming bumpers have not been changed, which may well have been) then it is a
65. 65 was last year for front slash and had a pointed rear. If the rear is
slash also then it is a 64 or earlier. Rather than all of us speculating why
doesn't someone just call him and ask?

In Springdale. This guy has a really cherry bus.
I forgot to ask what year is is. His name is Derrick and his # is 479-502-4369.
Of course he wants the moon, $18500. But it’s a very nice bus. All done. It has
a middle and back seat.
