That was my take on it a VS2, a deal breaker in my opinion, I'm not sure a 2 speed tranny is what I'd want, the f-n-r would get old.

6V-71 and VS-2=SLOW!  Swap that out with a 6V-92TA and V730-now we're talking.  Good Luck, TomC

It is a very good looking fishbowl that someone has put a lot of time and money into. Your friend should keep it because in this market he would loose his rear if he sold it for current market value. There are too many intercity bus conversions out there at rock bottom prices to justify looking at a transit conversion with that power-train setup. Regardless of how nice that bus is, it will always leave you wanting more, and as soon as you see what you could have had for not much more, you would kick yourself a thousand times over.

the 2-speed tranny would absolutely bring the price way down. you need at least a 4-speed to do any good in the mountains.

I agree with you all, and am actively looking for something else.  You have all opened my eyes up to some good stuff.  This is my first buy, and I appreciate all your knowledge and hospitality.  Keep sending 'for sale' buses my way!
