She posted more pics of this old bus. For $2000, I don't think this one is going anywhere very fast. http://images.craigslist.org/3kf3mb3l05T05P75R8a35771946f917b3139c.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/3k63o03le5Tb5P55R9a3574a92653b2071177.jpg No doubt it's a pretty cool bus, I'm not convinced it's w...
