LEAKOIL Forum

I know we can all state that our wives put up with allot........ My wife has put up with me for 37 years and has never said much when i buy i vehicle without telling her (so far that has been 6, all classics ) i tell her investment dear......... well she just happened to come out to "MY SPACE" , the garage and i was on the comp looking at LEAKOIL forums. I showed her around and she said.....I want the 75 bay fixed so she can call it her OWN........ Big ooops I thought.... She can not drive a standard, and will not learn....... She tore out Mustang clutch in 2 days........ Bummer and that is why I buy Standards, so I get to drive..... So to PLEASE the wifey I need to convert this Bus to Automatic........ Anyone know where I can get one Buy, Trade, or Midnight Auto.......... Help Please...........

If I didn't have my '59 to finish, (and a kitchen to put in), I'd be all over this one that was referenced in another thread....

Thanks Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!!! placed call to him.......... got voice mail......... That Bay is doable for sure.................

My neighbor, Nelson has a '78 Automatic Bay for sale under the LEAKOIL "For Sale" thread. He still has it, I saw it today. Check it out.

Yes, I forgot about Nelson's bus. It's a runner. I don't think the bus I put the link up on is running. Either way, they are both automatics. Here's a picture of the back of Nelson's bus from Ken's camout last year...

I concur! Nelson's IS a Transporter, non-camper, but it looks solid and is priced right.

Here is a picture of Nelson's '78. The rust spots you see are only surface rust. No rust holes. Original factory paint. It was originally from California and is a must see.

I'm surprised it didn't sell yet. Money is tight, I know. If I hadn't invested my windfall money in a new I-Mac from my court settlement, I would have bought Nelson's bus and flipped it for 2X the price on E-Bay Motors.

Asking price is $2500.00 but he would take an offer.
