I came upon an orange '73 Bay Weekender (non pop top camper). It has been 
sitting outside parked for four years. Engine supposedly only has 8000 miles on 
it. Has dual carbs that need to be rebuilt. Needs new tires. It isn't a rusty 
mess but needs TLC in the windshield area and the rear window needs a new seal. 
Holes in floor near door frame (the usual place). Rust hue on roof and bumpers 
but not real evil bumpy rust. A couple of very small dents in one panel, other 
than that it is a straight Bus. Needs attention around one rear tail light, it 
looks like it is glued in place. Inside stuff is all there but wood headliner 
is drooping and small stuff like cracked closet door handle, no big problems.

Of course who knows how it would do on a compression test. And being that it 
has been sitting for four years, I wouldn't be surprised if it needs things 
like new brakes and shocks.

I always hear those magic tails of people finding a Bus that has been sitting 
and in a few minutes of fiddling poof like magic it is back on the road. But 
that is not how it works out for me. 

I don't really want or need this Bus, just wondering if it would be a good deal 
for somebody.
