The Apparition

I read it somewhere in this forum, I think it was sold, then written off, and ended up at a Daylesford wreckers, but IDSTBC

Billy P,
Well, that answers one of my questions anyway, it was the only one ever built.
Your latest post says that it had a boat anchor engine (9 and threepence), makes sense now as in the storyline the original shed rusted out, but rebuilt on a conventional Lousyville chassis and running gear which was probably standard issue in it's day.
That bloke who designed and built it sure had a few clues as to what he was doing.
Just another example of good ol Oz ingenuity.
Any more "specials" in the offering?

How's this for a special one off?

Need a few details,mikeg, looks like a pretty standard mini coach body with quite a bit of front panel work grafted on,e.g. a 'nose job'

I'm fairly certain It never had a 903 in It, at any stage of Its life..
I know a Bloke who rebuilt the 350 at least once & who used to do a bit of work on It.. I'll ask Him next time I see Him ( if I think of It)

The bus with the nose job is a Japanese School Bus.

Interesting story guys, I like the way he kept it mainly Ford, the headlights, turn signals and lower bumper spoiler are Falcon.

I stand corrected, Swishy's piece says it's a series 1 Cummins, another photo has the caption under it mentioning 903.

Thanks for the link BillyP, I saw it on the West Gate bridge many years ago, but it was black and had Towards? or Beyond? 2000 sign written on it.
