2 Rescuable Clippers In South Bend, IN
One For Every Budget!
FOI member Chet Los, in South Bend, Indiana has 3 project clippers he's
saved from the junkyards. Chet currently has a running hi-level, and
being 73 years of age at this time is beginning to face the fact that
he won't be finding much time to do anything with these projects.
Descriptions below. Chet may be reached by phone at 574 272 1769.
No email at this time. I'm expecting photos from Chet soon, so check
back - we should have some pix up momentarily.
1. '67 Flatroof Starliner 31 201 - $1250
Originally bought by the state of Indiana, this bus was used for
transporting prisoners. It got on the wrong side of a prison riot and
had all its glass broken out and some wiring torn out of the dash. Dash
kicked in, too. No fires, though! Chet bought this from a dealer who'd
got it at a state auction, and has been storing it indoors ever since.
He has fresh side windows and a Left Windshield. Right one required
as I understand it. Bus is currently seated.

2. 65 Starliner 31 159 - $350
Chet bought this bus a number of years ago from the previous owner, a
friend who'd begun work, fell ill, and passed it on to Chet. Before
Chet the PO had removed the side skins (front and rear are still intact)
and the window units, intending to replace them. Old skins are "not too
bad," and are still in the bus, which is stripped inside.

- 4-71 "supposed to run" - Chet thinks it could be made to run out
of there under its own power (although it might look a little funny
running down the road sans side skins!)
- Rust-free underneath
- Ribs and such are in good condition - and this may easily be
verified
- Price is $350
