1980 Superior Pacemaker $1600 OBO
Rare Superior Pacemaker Type B retired school bus. Strong Chevy 350 8 cylinder 5.7 liter engine. New battery with cut off switch. AUTOMATIC transmission. Seats 19. Great project for transporting as a party bus or convert to an RV easily! Lots of potential. Electrical works, engine runs, and transmission shifts well. Has wheelchair door on side (no lift). Great for hauling people or stuff! Original CB and com still on board (non working). Have title in hand
I bought this to transport employees, but now my family has expanded and I just dont have the time to restore this cool rig.
email for pics since I cant load them at the moment 
LOCATION : PORTLAND, OREGON

Pretty cool old bus. Looks like it has high headroom, too.

I like the way you think!
4bt swaps have really driven up the price on old bread trucks these days!

Yes...but many of the P30's have all aluminum bodies that can be scraped to offset the original cost. I have talked to a couple of guys who actually made a few bucks on the deal, but aluminum is (pardon the expression) "in the can" these days.
One downside consideration is they just about all come with AT trannies which are just so much more scrap metal.

A propane 350? How wonderfully bizarre! Oh well...there are plenty of 4BT's on Ebay these days.
