I'll bet you could go "snow blind" really quick detailing that thing out (polishing and/or cleaning).

Nice bus.

Say, I have some really nice property I will sell along with that bus. Southern Florida,a bit wet, with some unstable ground. ;D

Sweet!

I too own a '60 PD 4104! Had no idea they were worth so much! I think I'll sell mine for... hmmm.... oh, let's be conservative; say only $125,0000.00.

They'll be beating down my front door with fist fulls of dollars any minute now! Any minute now... Zzzzzz.....

 Nice bus, if I ever polish mine I'd probably want to get a quarter of a million too  ;) You never know all it takes would be for someone with deep pockets to see the ad, fall for the sales line and have to have it. Wonder what pushes it down the road?

Is it my monitor, the pictures seem really crappy for a high dollar sale attempt?

It looks to me like it has a $50,000 dent in the right breastwall.

Oooh, shiny. 

If only we hadn't just bought a bus, we might have been interested...   ;-)

At that price they need to offer free worldwide delivery and a free tank of diesel.
The area code (416) explains a lot though.  Canadians can get some crazy ideas about what a coach conversion is worth.  When I was looking to buy all the Can coaches were about 10X more expensive than the US coaches....Even now when i see a clapped out old bus on it's last legs in Canada, there is always someone asking 20-30K fir it.  And remember most Can buses are rusty as well.

Okay, so they gave the kid a buffing wheel and chained him to the bus for a month, but really, the "tin" doesn't look all that hot. Looks like lots of dimples and creases, even with the low quality images. ...Which is okay, at a certain price level.

It has Alcola bud wheels with Michelin X2E tires, but the engine is N/A.   Not available?   Not applicable?   I'm curious how it "runs great" with an N/A engine.

It is very obvious they made a mistake on the price, it should be 2,500,000 not 250,000.

2,500.00????? I'm sure glad I don't live down there. The tires on my bus cost twice that and one of the two inverters I just replaced cost 2,800.00. I know that bus is probably not worth 250,000.00, but most conversions done right would cost about that. There was a MC-5 the other day here that needed a lot of work and wasn't even close to what this bus is, and it just sold for 19,500 after about a month on the market. All I can say is, things must be really really bad down there if buses that nice are only worth 2,500. I sure hope things get better for those of you down south!

My 4104 is worth at least that. However, I am waiting for the economy to turn so I can get maybe $400,00.00.

Hey Rich, how ya doing?
I seen some of the pics of your old girl after you stripped her. (looks good) I would bet by the time you get her to shine like the one for sale, you'll have 100,000 in labor into it.
Post some pics when you get it done.

A few years ago, I think I've seen that coach parked out front of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, on the sidewalk like a trophy,  before a hockey game, tricked out with a few Maple Leafs logos.

Belongs/ed to someone who has a connection.

416 telephone number makes sense.

I'd like to think that there is a typo on the price....

Way too much work for me to keep that thing shiny!

happy coaching!

So your tires are worth $5 million  :o

Jjr said 2.5 mil, not 25 hundred  ;D

But IMHO 250k is absolutely insane. You could get a 10 year old H3-45 / XLII for that kind of coin!
