Did this bus originally have a slight inward slope to the walls? I know the C2s do this. From the pictures of the inside it looks like the walls are straight vertical but I can't really tell.
Have you ever seen a C2 with a raised roof?

after I saw mention of this I noticed that Minotours are that way too. The hat channel is crimped just below the windows to make the walls slant inward a few degrees

I've seen a TON of Thomas buses with raised roofs. To varying degrees of success.
Yes all Thomas buses have it. Its part of how their structure is designed.

What is it about the bus? Obviously, as a noob I don't know what sort of an engine to expect in this bus. Paint job is bad but.. that's just cosmetic...

This is an interesting one. Looks like it has an International 4600 cab. Maybe has higher ceiling, but could be skirting is deeper hard to tell in pictures really.

I looked at buying one a few years ago. I looked at nice used ones ranging from around $25k to $60k. The new ones I looked at started around $80k with all of the kit.
$100k for a used rig that is sold as-is is nuts.

I've come across a bunch of pretty well-used ones for $60,000 to $80,000. TBF this one is the nicest I've ever seen.
