      was talking to Charlie Hammel ( host of the show.) He REALLY wants to see it. He was considering doing it because it was the oldest but too much time invested. He thought it was cool that it was being saved in any course and thought the square tubing was innovative. to get it done.

      Extremely rare original "barn door" deluxe. I personally think that is about 4 times what it "could" sell for, but remember it only takes one suck...er, buyer to make a legit sale. There are other busses like it in the world, but not many that are currently known.
