Guys the gentleman that owns this can deliver the bus to you within a reasonable distance if I’m not mistaken.

He tows that with an F250 hooked to a gooseneck.

Apparently the gross weight of 6500 pounds is no joke. The body is all aluminum.

Based on our conversations a good rewiring, cleaning of fuel system and brake overhaul, and fluid changes and you could probably drive this.

Honestly I was entertaining the idea of selling one of my cars to free up money to acquire this awesome piece.

This is the same Gar Wood famous for the world class wooden speed boats bearing the same name.

My strategy would be to get it running and make it safe and DRIVE IT!
