Gauntlet Thrown: This 1938 Ford Bus Destroys Anything That McTaggart Suggested For A BS Mobile Command


Gauntlet Thrown: This 1938 Ford Bus Destroys Anything That McTaggart Suggested For A BS Mobile Command

 

The other day McTaggart thought he’s be cute and take pot shots at my suggestion that we use a beat up 1960 Lloyd van as the new BS mobile command center. He then made some generalized suggestions as to what types of vehicles we should look at for our theoretical country cruising machine and one of the categories that he neglected in a glaring fashion was the vintage bus genre. This 1938 Ford bus is so awesome that it trumps anything that his Chrysler J-Body loving self could ever construe. This bus has the looks, it has V8 performance, it has leather seating, and it even has a wood floor. The long shifter V8 engine, sweet gauges, and the fact that the all steel bus has survived nearly 80 years is incredible in and of itself.

Other than begging McTaggart to find something better than this, I am not sure what else to say. There’s a ton of photos and specs at the link as well as the sale price listing of $22,000. In typical fashion we’ve got to know if you think it is worth that money and what you would do with it. In case the ad comes down before you see it, here’s the text –

A rare streetrod 1938 Ford School bus for sale. The rebuilt motor has about 6000 miles on it, along with the rebuilt transmission. 350/350. Automatic, power steering, power brakes, two A/C/Heat units. Lots of storage. New glass, tires, gauges. Lots of fun to drive, take to tail gate parties, car shows, camping etc. I am asking 22,000.00 for this rare find. It is not perfect it has a few bumps and bruises. Call me if you have any questions. CASH ONLY

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PHOTOS AND THEN HIT THE LINK FOR THE FULL AD, ALL THE SPECS AND MORE ON THIS BUS –

    Get rid of the Chevy drive train and give them $18,000. Other than that make them pay you to take it off their hands.

    1- Now this is a mobile command centre!
    2- would have been the Prison bus
    3- I could have supported a hot rodded Lloyd
