This was posted a couple of weeks ago. I went out and checked on it for Tobin as a potential candidate. He has opted out of this bus (for now) for logistical reasons, so allowing me to post details. I have a dozen electronic images of it available, pages of detailed information, drop me a line if you want the whole lowdown. Here's the highlights: 1981, Chocolate Brown, original paint, three very minor dents, in VERY good condition, owner's uncle/aunt have it (they've had busses since '58). Man I wish I could find a '6X Deluxe this nice! Anyway the owner had a engine problem (unable to talk directly to her, in SF bay area) but a shop in Vallejo tore the engine down, removed cylinder #3, and estimated $3500 for fixing. (the thieves) an AVP engine rebuild is $1200! It's a non-CA engine. Never been repainted or hit, no rust except for where body dings are. They got PO'd and towed it away. It has been in Grass Valley since last fall. I did a check to see if all was there and found the distributor missing. Owner trying to get it back (good luck). The seats have been replaced with T-bird seats. Been stored under big pine trees, so filthy, but out of the sun. Couldn't find anything obvious (thrown rod, valve seat, etc.) that caused the engine to die. I have two air-cooled Westi's, don't need another! - Jeff
