It would appear as if this bus was set up to do trips. A short trip for Lind-Ritzville would have been one hour in one direction. Three to four hours one way would not be uncommon.


I would not be afraid of the miles on this bus because very few of those miles would have been in urban stop/go driving. Most of the miles would be flying across the state at highway speeds.



Because it is an eastern WA bus it will have zero rust issues.


I doubt the bid will stay low because this bus appears to be a pretty nice bus.
Shhhh! Don't tell... I want that bus...

Pretty standard for a "party bus" company. They seem to think a cheap paint job, rearranging the seats and a stripper pole installation automatically adds $5K market value

I can't tell if this is a Wanderlodge with an early TC front clip or a really well done older conversion.

It is a bluebird, has to have been repowered as a Cummins engine would not have been stock in 71, also would have had the little round headlights. The front clip is an add-on, maybe to cover the fact that the Cummins engine sticks out further than the original V8 engine

Defenitely a former school bus. You can see where they riveted patches over the front reds.

Looking for opinions on the CNG powered buses. Anyone here have one? Pros/cons? You don't see them often, and when they sell it doesn't seem like they go for much.
