1979 gillig

There is a 1979 gillig school bus near me. Looks amazing from what I could see in pictures. It is wired for 110 all around and has two roof mount Acs, and is a rear engine cat 3208? With an auto trans. Guy wants 5k for it. Someone, anyone, give me an excuse to go look at it!

I'll give you the excuse. if its a "complete" conversion, that i can move into when I pick it up, and it will make it back to MO sold. dead serious.

28 passenger bluebird bus. SUPER NICE LOW MILES

Too much!
But might be some wiggle room? It'd have to wiggle a lot!, for me

Milkmania....

I've seen that blue one. They do seem to be asking to much. Maybe that's why it has been listed so long. I've been tempted to ask about it, but doubt they would wiggle down to my level.
