https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_pl4UtbG8cSummary by two bus experts on 9.26.2021The right dog leg has cracking bondo, the right outer rocker is missing, the lower front nose is dented and the rear is dented, decklid and corners.Underneath the front and rear cross members need replacement and there looks like a patch on the frame near the rear left wheel.It has the wrong bumpers (but nice 1960 bumpers)and no rear seats or original panels.Needs both doglegs, outriggers, frame work front lower balance, front floor, cargo floor (12 inches) on both sides. Right rocker is missing. Long panel (left) outer rockerIt is a good bus. With the right parts and repairs it would be a great bus.Pluses is that it is a original pressed bumper bus with factory safaris.Also has the desired palm green/sand green colorthe description was by a gentleman who has restored 20 busses.. he wanted to do a nut and bolt resto.. I believe preservation over restoration..just want whoever ends up with Glinda he happy....Sold as is where is..... happy bidding
