Well, thanks to Ed Roelle, I have bought a new bus. He put me in contact with a friend about 20 minutes from me with an 1968 MCI 7. It came with a TON of extra RV parts. New engine, tranny, brakes and seals, several new stainless pieces, vent fans, 2 roof airs, installed caps... He had also had the original windows removed and the bus re-skinned properly. So another project, but a much more solid bus.
So, now what do I do with my 4905? I am going to keep my RV pieces for the new bus and recycle much of the wood interior as well so I will have a shell that runs and drives but is pretty darn problematic. With my luck, the thing will get stuck between gears or have the throttle cable give me problems or the muffler will cause another fire just as I would hand it over to a buyer. I can junk it (hate to have all of the good parts destroyed and get no money from it), Scrap it and get some money for it, sell it on e-bay and get my approval rating wiped out or offer it here for parts to a knowledeable group of people. The last part would make me the happiest. This is kind of like talking myself into a course of action!
So, I guess I'll put an ad in the flea market. Any thoughts or know someone looking for stuff? |

YEA, you really have to watch out when you communicate with Ed, he is the reason I bought my 4106. When I told him that I was going to Arcadia, he told me YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK at his buddies bus. Well, I did.(actually glad I did)
On to your problem, if it were me, I would put it on Ebay. Just have to make sure you have a good disclaimer, make no false representations, do not hide anything, be up front and honest and see what it brings.

I like the EBay idea also. The sale would help to offset the cost of the referb on the 7.
Congrats on THAT score too! I love the looks of that bus. Better post some pics when ya can!
