Nice bus mate glad to see some pictures at last!

This is a real inspiration to me as yours is the only other Caravelle conversion with those alloy style windows on here that I've found.
I'm now restoring mine and its original colour is Neptune blue too.
Lovin the drag style rims 8)

Thanks brother,Those Centerlines are old,except for the rear ones,are brand new.Federal Tires all around 165-45 R15 in the front and 165 55 R15 on the rear.Stay tuned, i will post more pictures very soon.

Inspiration is really cool.Those who told me to sell that crap,junk/dump that old piece of s**t, are telling me now
R U SELLING IT?? ''HOW MUCH''?? IT LOOKS GREAT.! .I tell them ,is a little thing called ''DEDICATION''
Later on i will explain how i got it like that with very little money ,and a lot of cojones.

Ok im back, now i will tell u a funny story how i got Bender.
The year 2003 i have been looking for a 68 only bus,bench seat all original running.My ex girlfriend helped me out.
I have been looking for a bus like that since 1996.However i owned a number of busses,but eventually i wasnt satisfied and conformed with exacly what i wanted.I owned my first bus,a '76 micro bus,then a '77 deluxe camper,then a '71 almost rust free camper,then a '70 camper,another a '67 13 windows (hence my name) a yellow slammed '70 bug with a broken chassis (was literaly broken in half) ,and then Bender wich i will say how i got it.I also owned a '59 ragtop beetle 100% original.
Anyways the year was 2003,November ,i made a deal off- ebay with a 19 yr old college kid who was about off to college and he needed some ''cash'' i saw a few pictures of Bender and i was like ''THATS IT'' There's my bus.
I flew from Miami to Las Vegas ( the girlfriend didnt come cause she had to work) i landed ,in the airport parking there was Bender 99% rust free re-sprayed over original paint,dry as sand,engine purred like a baby lion,brand new tyres,tuned up,full tank,everything worked,all lights,horn,signal,brakes etc ect.
I drove to Wall-Mart,bought food,accesories,blankets and a pillow,Then i was on my way to Miami from Las Vegas by my self.Final price: $920 and a six pack of beer .! I was driving home, was saying to myself ''i cant believe i pull that off'' ''did that just happened''??? am i on drugs?? no! LOL

Here its Bender in a gas station somewhere in the mddle of Texas.It was cold.Later i found out this was right about Bender's birthday. November 17.Ironic huh?

Coming up next: how i got it like this on little money and a lot of cojones.!

 

[dubscum]
