Rogue_Alphonse Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Deemed the "Tower of Power", these inline six two-stroke outboards were pretty boss for their day. This one, I got for $40 and it was laying on a shed floor. In fact, it was so close by that I hooked a small trailer to my ATV and used that to go pick it up. I completely re-wired it and had plans to bolt it on the back of a 1980's Galaxy 19' boat, but the boat deal fell through. Tonight my stepfather and I poured fuel in all six cylinders, and jumped the engine over using my weak golf cart battery. Since it had fired up instantly, I had to take a video of it. After about 20 years of laying on its side... For sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimModSponges Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I used to think "no way I'd buy an old beat up bus," Wouldn't bet I'd waste that kind of money. But then one day I found a vintage one. Recognized the frame from 1962 Now I'm searching craigslist for replacement seats And frankly I don't even know what page I'm on. Man, another complication; A tire rotation takes the axel out. So much more is left to do; I wouldn't have bought it if I only knew.... Now the engine is blown and I don't have room For all the things it's leaking. I had the muffler go, It needs replacement shoes Discontinued by GM. Half it's wires are frayed and it needs new plate Man it's all broke down. Restoring a bus looks a lot like a tragedy now. -to the tune of Taylor Swift's "the story of us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
