PROS:
  • MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).
  • SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).
  • ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.
  • NEW TIRES.
  • BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.
  • LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.
  • WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.
  • GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.
  • AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.
  • SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.
  • GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.
  • SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.
  • BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.
  • SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.
  • DOORS ALL WORK WELL.  SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.
  • COMES WITH TWO KEYS.
  • ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.
CONS:
  • PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER.  NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT.  A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
  • CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.
  • COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.
  • RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.
  • INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN.  NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.
  • SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.
  • ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD.  MAY NEED ATTENTION.  RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.
  • SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE.  NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR.  OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.
  • DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.

IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK.  WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST.  THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.
