Yea that looks like the old Colonial style Trailways. Not Sure on that one.

i found one on e bay 1/43rd scale. $295.00
it looked great. but not at that price. if it was around $90.00 i would have bought it.

YIKES!!

...that's a lot of scratch, for something that's going to be drilled more times, than Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton ,combined.:devil:

1:43? I wonder how much detail it had?

I found my Greyhound pull back but it's gonna be too big (6" or so) to display with 1:64 scale.
It would have made a much better Speed bus,anyhow.

the detail was outstanding. all hand built in the urkrane and all metal
just search ebay under eagle bus. its in the buy it now section. he had 2 and the 2nd one i belive was $395.00 and thay were raw. i saw no paint :wave:

The closest I can come up with is the Micro Machines "Greyhound Coach." Being a MM it's probably too small for what you're looking for, but the plastic would probably be easier to drill out

in this case,smaller is better.
Drilling the bullet holes would be a total nightmare though- but do-able, with fine tipped paint pen,or a sharp pointed dart.
smaller will fit into the same display slots as the 1:64 cars.

Some of my Hollywood cars are 1:87... small but are the right make, model and color I need, -until something better comes along.

Thanks for the tip,I'll have to look into it :thumbsup:

How about a small Corgi GM Scenicruiser casting? It's quite close to 1/64, maybe a little bigger.

that's really nice!
it would be fun to customize!
