Title: Interesting Bus up for auction.
Post by: peterbylt on August 13, 2020, 08:24:31 AM
I found this on the Public Surplus auction site.

If I were looking for a Bus right now this would be high in the list.

Way too far into the current conversion to consider, although it is tempting.

Looks like it would be a good candidate for someone looking to start a seated coach type conversion.

Would also be good if you have a large amount of uncontrollable family to haul around ;D

Probably will get bid up too high anyway.

That's actually a great looking bus - I love when they still have the stainless/aluminum and look like a bus. Not many miles, probably well maintained. Worth considering.

That's the way they ought to configure school buses given the way that brats act these days.

Looks like it would be quite a project removing all that stuff.

Looks like another coach will be coming up for sale.  This one is at the other end of the spectrum.

yeah, very low miles and agree that maintenance was surely kept current. Not the kind of load you want while broken down on the side of the road. The Recaro seats are icing for sure.

Tulsa County must have a new sheriff ,nice 40 ft bus ,the plastic windows in those are a real bear to remove and reskin in case you are looking and you are going to need to be sharp in electronics the model says it is a DE (diesel electric) or Hybird not something I would care about under taking.The maintaince cost must be terriable for Tulsa County to be selling that bus
