Will todays conversions look like this in 50 years?

That's right.

He posted lots of pictures...What you see is what you get...

Seller says he's rebuilt one like this, spent 3.5 yrs on it and sold it for $45k.

I'd like to see the pictures of the rebuilt one.

Also says: "So if you invest your time you will have fun & could make a little money."

So what he's saying is that you will have fun restoring it and you can make money...I'm taking bets on this statement...

I cannot see one thing that is salvageable. You basically need to replace the whole bus.

Cool old bus, too bad it's in such rough shape (understatement of the century). I think the crank handle on the dash must be for cranking the engine over.

This grand ol' bus is very deserving of ...... well...... a decent burial.

May it rust in peace.......
