Van, see how that one piece door opens on that bus that was a factory install the way I been telling you to build yours now you know the rest of the story. 
If only I was a little younger that  baby would be in my shop with a fresh 8v92 going in it



good luck

 I spotted that as soon as I had seen the door, I remembered the factory window at the bottom of it as you mentioned . The mech said it hadn't been run in years, also the engine was dead, yet it was also mentioned that he hadn't had time to put batteries in it yet. I wonder if they really know whats up with this engine, some batts, filters, who knows you might just drive it home. Never know till you go it seems.
I'm pretty certain a good price can be negotiated for this bus. ;)

Van you can also make that type door open towards the front and you can do it buy using the hardware from your 2 piece door but you can't go both ways that is called a plug door

good luck

I thought I might as well jump in on this too! ;D

That would be a great coach to build, it's got the right stuff.

Come on Clifford, you're still young, what's a little job like that to you!  ::)

Having lived there for 22 years, my standard advice is "just say no to anything from Pa.".  That bus sure looks clean to me, however.  Just the fact that the shock isn't hanging free from rusted and broken mounts seems to mean it was never run in Pa.

Anything used for schools is inspected vigorously.  Nebraska last approved it in 2001 and it has been sitting for 2 years?  So it ran for the period that an inspection is good for before it was removed from service.....motor or ?????

2 cents,

John

It will probably have some sheet metal rust but nothing major on the frame Cor-Ten is good stuff it only rust where the air is cut off to it, you cover it with dirt and the stuff will rust with the best




good luck

I'm hoping libby doesn't see it, she is all set on me doing another bus, this time with slides and maybe a roof raise, I don't understand why cause I don't see where she is growing, at least not taller lol.  I'm thinking she is after my rosewood lol.

From the Ebay pictures it looks like it is riding about the right height 13~14", then in the photobucket pictures the first one shows the torsion bolt.  With so little thread showing on that side of the arm there is a ton of thread left on the other side of the bracket to raise the coach.  The beams must be in great shape.

This will be a great deal for someone.  Wow, I almost wish I was looking for one.  

Someone buy it so we all can give you great advice as to how to convert it.  :D :D :D

Isn't Sidney where they have Cabela's chief rabbit?  I've spent more than one night at the "Walmart Truck Stop" there, waiting for the highway to open.  LOTS of salt.

G6 salt doesn't affect Cor-Ten steel much that is reason it is used on highways.

John it would be a good one to make a 45 footer from has dual air system, swingout radiator and that door I have always loved, I priced that door before big bucks there.
I bet Tony Fisher the Eagle converter in Kansas buys and converts the bus


good luck

Cifford, why are you looking to buy another?

If she was, she should buy it for him.

After all, would that be like "paying it forward." I wonder what she has on her wish list...lol.

God bless,

John

Title: Re: Eagle On Ebay

It sold for 5,700 anybody we know here


good luck
Title: Re: Eagle On Ebay
Post by: David Anderson on January 02, 2010, 07:25:27 AM
How did it sell if it didn't meet its reserve?
Title: Re: Eagle On Ebay
Post by: Van on January 02, 2010, 07:28:20 AM
Even at the BUY it Now price of $6450.00,seemed like a reasonable deal. A running coach in the same condition goes for way more, 20,000 +. Hope some one we know won the bid.

High bid was 5700, did not meet reserve, did not sell.
Title: Re: Eagle On Ebay
Post by: luvrbus on January 02, 2010, 09:24:41 AM
I know it has a new owner today regardless of the reserve price.
He will post when the time is right and all the paper work is over and I would want a copy of the title before sending the 500.00 deposit



good luck

Clifford...I Really Thought It Was Mine. The Guy Sent Me A Second Chance Offer. Good For 24 Hours. !! Then He Sold It To A Guy From Pueblo Colorado Two Hours Later..... He Told Me To Take My Time And Think About It......So I Did. I Guess Thats What Happens When You Drag Your Feet To Long...... If The Guy Backs Out For Some Reason I Will Go Look At It.
