Looks just like mine except mine has grey primer on the sides where the name was painted over...

Of course, the 104 wide Model 10 is a rare bird...  ;)

rare bird indeed as they never made a 104" wide bus

Yep... That's the reason for the winkie. And I don't think this 96 inch wide bus has been widened to 102 either. The guy just don't know what he has more likely.

That bus was apparently owned by Central Florida Transit.  Wynn Silver had a very good reputation for maintaining his buses.

However, I think I have seen it on ebay before, no telling where it has been since it left CFT.

dont know anything about this one but this is the fourth or fifth time it has been listed in the last five or six months. I would assume in that time that many have looked at it. for the money you would think someone would want it unless there is something we cant see in the pics.

maybe 5% rust is 5% of the total bus material....which I might guess that 5% is the structure of the bus with skin glass tires, wheels etc...(non ferrous materials) comprimise the remaining 95%

LOL,

are we sure this is the same bus and not one from the same fleet as the others?

maybe a fleet but the pics look like the same ones and everyone had the same description and the same location. also it seems that the first time I saw it it was 12 or 15 thousand and each time since the price was lower than before.
