Help Identifying this Bus

Hello,

Was looking at a short bus for conversion and I came across this. I believe it is a 1997 International 3700. Can someone confirm Thank you.

Its newer than 97. Looks like 2004 or newer IC.

This bus is an exact duplicate of my 2003 (just a little shorter lol) and has the three-ridged bumper of the pre-durastar body styling. There's a guy on discord that just bought one exactly like this (for $12 or $14K, I can't remember) and it was a 2003. I wonder if these were a one-off thing that year.

OP, this bus is a real gem if you're looking for a shortie. I don't know about paying $10K for a bus, but that is arguably a good price in today's market.

Late 03's got the newer grilles. My 03 had it too. Its probably a 2003.5

Thanks, that is AWESOME! I will see if I can get the VIN from the seller.

For all those who had reply thank you very much. Was looking to go full time traveling when I get back to the U.S. but the future ex-wife, hahahaha, is not ready to just be on the road all the time. This would be perfect for a weekend getaway trip.
