Re: 1990 Bluebird Body, GMC chassis 72 Pass. Bus.
I don't believe 19,549 it has never flipped over once or twice. The way that motor looks it is more like 219,549. That one does flip after 99,999. And I think that dash appears to have fresh paint on it and I don't think I've ever seen one that year bluebird body with black dash panels. Anyone think someone is trying to hide something and trying to get more than it is worth?

I would think so. They're probably thinking someone will buy it for the driveline and parts, not to fix it. They would make more parting it out.

Re: 1990 Bluebird Body, GMC chassis 72 Pass. Bus.
the first one that went for over 9000 for sure looked like a cover up story to me. Why all the shine on the front tire??
Besides that I would hate to drive a bus with that much overhang. Could be tricky around here.
The second one, I think would make a good addition to Millicent  just weld her up to the back of millicent as an extended garage

Re: 1990 Bluebird Body, GMC chassis 72 Pass. Bus.
What is with that overhang?  I don't think I've ever seen a 72 passenger Class C with that short of a wheelbase. Am I just looking at it wrong? Is that the norm? I know my overhand is WAY shorter and my bus is only one row shorter.

Looks like a normal overhang to me.
It also looks like it has been relisted to.

That 'shine' is water  . That wheelbase does seem awful short..

I agree the wheels do look a little to close. Maybe throw a enough weight in there and drive around doing a wheelie. Ha ha!

Re: 1990 Bluebird Body, GMC chassis 72 Pass. Bus.
I had to look at a picture of it next to mine just to see. It appears that his wheelbase is the same as my 65 passenger as his rear wheels are a window and a half further forward than mine and he has an extra row of seats. I guess that wouldn't be that abnormal. I know my rear axle is nowhere near being maxed out given its 18,000 lbs rating with a 17,400 lbs gross weight with an empty fuel and water tank and just me in it. That would help unload the front a little so they could probably get away with a 12,000 lbs axle up there.
