1994 E350 Diesel Short Bus w/ Hypermax Turbo and 60K Original Miles

I have been in the process of converting a 1994 Ford E350 short bus (Collins 4 Window) and unexpectedly got a job offer in Hawaii that I can't turn down. I am listing this on here to see if I get anyone has any interest in taking over the project. I have done an INSANE amount of work on this thing.

Purchased in October 2015 for $3,650 and have put in over $6,000 in parts.

It looks like a turd as I have been focusing on the mechanical side of things and body work first. The inside has been gutted and only has a subfloor installed. It is water-tight and structurally rust free (Inland California most its life).

If you are looking to do a bus conversion but aren't looking to also be a mechanic this may be the bus for you. This engine lasts 250-300K w/ proper maintenance. The work I have done should last about 100K w/o anything major.

The vehicle will be located in Santa Cruz, California for the next few weeks before getting moved to a free long-term storage spot in northern CA if I don't get a reasonable offer.

The Bus:

The Bus Interior
