VOLO, Ill. -- Eddie Munster wants to sell you The Grateful Dead's first tour bus.
Actor Butch Patrick owns the 1965 Gillig bus and is willing to part with it for $200,000.
The Grateful Dead used it to tour from 1967 to 1985 and referred to the bus as "Sugar Magnolia."
The original furnishings and decor have been preserved, and its ceiling is lined with vintage rock posters.
Currently it's on display at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, along with the General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard," the original Batmobile from the classic "Batman" television series and Grandpa Munster's Dragula from "The Munsters."
