This 38 ft beastie can't live in the backyard anymore as of the end of June, so we're looking for all decent options for its fate. Ideally we would donate it to a non-profit or find a peice of land that could use a ready-made home on it. It runs off WVO, but does not currently enjoy running due to electrical problems. The inside is the sweet part--it's got a double burner stove, an oven, huge bedroom and living room area, and lots of personality. The closer to Oakland this creative solution comes from, the better, but any ideas are welcome.

electrical issues
Thu, June 1, 2006 - 12:12 PMAll of the starter switches are busted; we've been starting it with an external starter (alligator clamps to the starter, button at the end of the wires). Repairing the switches would be reasonably easy for anyone well-versed with electricity in vehicles. If you or anyone else want more detailed information, just send me a quick message. Thanks! -

Re: electrical issues
Thu, June 1, 2006 - 11:11 PMso the "starter" works but the "ignition switch" is busted?
For clarity; the starter is the cylander that attaches to the engine that has gears and teeth. The ignition switch is what engaes the started to the battery.
And what kind of renumeration are you looking for for this beauty?

Re: Fully Converted '69 Gillig Needs New Home
Thu, June 8, 2006 - 1:09 PMsorry, I've been traveling up to my bus and it took a good minute. as for clarity on electrical shit, the starter under the bus does work but requires an external starter switch (button on end of two wires clipped to the starter) to actually start because the front and back ignition switches need repairs. as for money, i'm more interested in it being useful in some way as well as safe during what may be a long period of small repairs. the specifics of that would have to be worked out, but i'm still looking for creative solutions. thanks..

Thu, June 8, 2006 - 10:59 PMIm with a traveling free food kitchen and we could use your bus to travel around the country feeding the masses of people who do not currently enjoy full bellys. My best friend is an experienced uss mechanic and can fix anything thats wrong with it. we do not however enjoy the luxury of npo status but are working on it (should be aproved within the next year). Our last bus saw its end and we have been looking for another so we can get back on the road again. I would be more than happy to take the bus off your hands im in san fran right now so let me know.
