I looked at the pictures of the bus. I think I'm gonna be sick. Sad to see that done to a scenicruiser. | ||

Kyle I have to agree even though the work was immense and lookslike it was well done if that's the end product you wanted just buy an Eagle | ||

I've been through the bus in person and believe me it was this man's passion. He was a bus guy through and through and even though it's not everyones cup of tea there is not a nut or bolt out of place on anything he worked on. That being said, there are a lot of us who wouldn't do that to a 4501, but then I don't like fiberglass caps on any of the old buffalos either. To each his own. John | ||

There was another Scenicruiser that someone redid to look like a motor home. I have a pic of it on the cover of a short lived bus magazine. Maybe i can find it and scan it. It looked great but not as good as an original unit does. | ||

David may not be the same 4501 but I have photos of a blue and gold one belonged to a boat racer in Ca. had a Beaver front end it was nice on the inside I haven't seen that one around in the last few years he came too the Mak gathering all the time.You should see the engine compartment all the chrome and brass in it. | ||

Alan Very difficult to guess what it will go for. You have been a member here long enough to have half an idea and you will likely be at the auction,since you are not that far away. My recomendation would be to have a firm limit as to how high you will go, and hope for the best. As the saying goes "there is allways another bus" Joe. | ||

Price will depend on how many show up that are interested in it & how deep their pockets are. If someone were to buy this one, they would do well to try to get all the spare parts for it that are there too. | ||

Alan I also should have added it could be the deal of the year or the disappointment of a lifetime Joe. | ||
