Awesome!!!

The kids decided it should be called "The Princess Mobile." The one boy there was seriously outvoted.

Trying to decide by the photo weather The Plodge or The Lizzie was the biggest hit that day? The kids seemed to take to both with equal joy!

I forgot to post this. Friday, our club was invited to meet with the local British car club for breakfast. We all had a good time, many of the car guys owned British motorcycles at one time or another, and I would sure like a MGTD in my garage!

A buddy stopped by this afternoon with his '75 International Scout.

Oddly enough, I saw one of those down here today.....that same color green, too, with a white roof.

Weird.

Found it almost 20 years ago and it still sits in the shed ... waiting.

 

[dh66]

Bob! You continue to amaze. A 21 window, no less. What year? What's it waiting for? That's a real gem. It looks in pretty good shape.

Thanks Dale.

It's a '64 Deluxe sunroof. Was a 61,000-mile, one-owner Bus that came out of California and sat in a barn near Willard, MO since 1981. I bought it in 1996 and it has sat in my "barn" since then. Three kids, college, etc. has kept money away from it. I find it easier to spend $3.00 on a Hawaiian shirt than to put $3.00 in savings towards the bus. Maybe I can get it together before we hit that 20th anniversary.

The original owner and his wife are pictured. He had a bit of fame in his life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Flores

Very cool, Bob! I can empathize, as I'm in the same boat. I have a '61 Galaxie that needs to have the braking system totally redone, but so much else seems to take precedence. Cool story to go with the bus, too.

 

[1mach1]

Bob, fantastic bus. You sure don't see many of those on the road anymore. Finding the money is sure easier than finding the time, I have found.

Dale, the braking system is not that big of a deal, but it does take time and a little money, which I am sure is non-existent with the crew you have at the moment. Not to worry, once one hits 10-12, he/she will be a great helper (and the perfect second person for the brake bleeding job)

Thanks 1mach1 and Panadora. The bus in the video sounds like a hot-rod ... oh, wait ... went to the YouTube link and I see it is Porsche powered. Awesome. :eusa_clap

New door panels and window cranks on the 71 Boss.

A '64 21-window bus is worth well over $100,000 when restored. Time to get busy!
