Answer 2

You'll have to find a van cheap enough, then cut the front off. Then you'll have to figure out how to hang it on the wall, and it's got to weigh 200 lbs or more. If you don't know what year van it is, go to thesamba.com. They have just about every one there is in their ads. Then you just have to start calling around and see what you can find. Actually, I've never heard of the show before but just checked out some set photos on the net--VERY cool sets!  The bus front in the wall would be a 1961-7 model, I'm not prepared to narrow it down any closer than that. Unless you can find one that has an intact front but the rest is smashed or rusted right out, it's not going to be cheap. They are collector's cars now.

You can call it a bus or a van, whichever you like. I've been driving one year or another of them since 1976 when I started with a 1960, and I call them both names. In the US they were first marketed as the "microbus" but not in other countries.

Simple! Look in your yellow pages for Auto Salvagers.   (junk yards)  Call them on the phone.  Tell them what you're looking for.  Ask if they have it and how much it costs.  Then find out if they'll deliver!

Answer 4

I would - like everyone else - suggest going to an auto salvage ("Pull n' Save") yard and looking for one there.

A cheap, fun and great alternative would be to mural the front end of the bus onto your wall.  I actually did this in my sons bedroom a few years back (along with a Hummer, Semi and Bug) and it looked amazing!!!  You could blow up a picture of someone (yourself or fav dude from the 60's), cut around the picture and paste it where the steering wheel would be, then paint the top part of the steering wheel over the picture to make it look as though they were driving!!!  Its REALLY easy to draw this kind of vehicle out and then you could paint it ANY color(s) you choose.

Good luck.
