We get some great storms, had one last night. Lots of wind and hard rain with
brilliant constant lightning. And it is all magnified by the bluff. The
tornadoes haven’t come to close to my house, I think it is the mountains.
Joplin and Springfield are on flat land and they got hit. I am not really in
Tornado Alley.
This house has taken big hits, so big that I stand away from all the glass, but
so far, other than dead trees being blown over and erosion of my road, so good.
Oh, the lid on the hot tub leaks and is full of water, so it’s heavy. After I
lift it I am almost too tired to get the champaign and strawberries.

Denis: Are you and Murray avoiding the storms that have been roaring
through there?

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.
