has to be someone at SS 1007 doesn’t have a sticker inside 1022 missing right side and 1353 missing left side i wonder if 1959 still rolling around with 1059

That's not it, what's probably going on is the paint and wraps on a lot of buses are just weathering away at this point.

If the front end frame is damaged enough it'll be retired but as of right now similar to 1293 it is on LTH.

Yep #1805 is officially retired, most of the key parts have been stripped, it’s parked right where most of the #800s and #905 is sitting. The guy in the picture appears to put a tarp on #1447 from my eyes, we are slowly rounding the corner of the #1000s retirement.

It's on Legal Hold awaiting scrap, that bus has severe damage and has been striped of many key components that would make it inoperable. You're best bet would be trying to get #6163, the fresh moves bus aka #6127,#6227 or even the #4900s.
