I just spoke to the owner. He is clueless what it is other than what he was told when he bought it from a wrecker service and drove it home. I assume last month if it had a DOT inspection in 3/19. I think he said he drove it 10 miles home and it drove good. Now here's the stickler making this bus even more valuable. Being in Kalamazoo, Mi. I would not normally be interested in this rust bucket. He bet me $100 there was no rust in this bus. I guarantee a bus that old from Mi. is going to have massive rust. Seller says the bus was parked in a field for 30 years, in CALIFORNIA, and brought back to Mi. I informed him what a mistake it was to not have that info in the ad, the bus probably would have already sold. Says the title says it's a Detroit Chassis, he is sending me a pic of the title.

I got the impression from the ad it was he was saying it was a 91 pax bus, not a 1991 body.. could be mistaken.

edumacate me here, I know what a 10 speed fuller is all day, but what engine options came in these beauties? ad says 8 cyl, factory plate says 220hp
I don't know all of the engine options but I can tell you that the more common are the NHH220 Cummins, 671 Detroit and 855 Cummins.

Less common would be the 6v92 Detroit or the 8.3 Cummins.

All 6 cylinder.

Maybe Cowlitz will jump in. He is a walking encyclopedia of things skoolie.
