Future conversion possibility?
http://www.lasvegasbussales.com/bus_for_sale_details/double-decker-bus-neoplan-doubledecker-two-story-bus-c13156

I have no connection to this bus or even Las Vegas Bus Sales at all. But they sent me an email about this bus and I thought maybe some of you that are as big of fans of Sean & Louise's "Odyssey" might be interested in building your own.

Probably thee biggest 40ft'r you could possibly have. Even though it looks good and has the right engine and transmission, after reading Sean's posts on trying to obtain the German suspension parts-that would scare me away. Probably why I'm converting my Kenworth-all American made! Good Luck, TomC

A little overpriced that bus sold for 32,500 a month or so ago in CA but you can't blame him for trying to make a few bucks he needs to pay for the blue and gray paint lol,I wouldn't chance a speeding ticket to buy it myself mileage on the bus wasn't all that bad 400,000+

good luck
