Seems a tad on the high side. What does the body rust look like?

No rust. The body is primarily aluminum.

8 cylinders? The only Crown buses with 8 cylinder engines were the Atomics and tour buses with rear 8V71s.

You are 100% correct. The crown is a mid engine 6n71

The vintage suggests to me that it is a 6-71T, 6-71TA, or perhaps a 6-71TAC.
I don't think any of the Crowns with 6-71's after about 1978 didn't have at least a turbo.
The model of the bus should tell the story.
If it is an A-426-11 it would not have a turbo. HP rating would be about 210-225 HP.
If it is an A-426T-11 it would have a turbo. HP rating would be about 230-250 HP.
If it is an A-426TAC-11 it would have a turbo with an after cooler. HP rating would be about 245-285 HP.

Arlington School District? Washington, Virginia, Texas or other?
Could you post pics that show the engine?
Thanks.

Definitely need more pictures and information. Can you post VIN plate picture?
What options, or even better, have you got build number?
(This looks to be a Washington Crown considering lights and side rub rails.)

(BTW- I'm not interested in buying this bus. I have enough of a problem with 3 large buses already (GMC, MCI, Crown. o.O)
BUT... I am interested in seeing it go for a fair price and to someone that wants it. I may even have some parts for whoever scores it. (Long story but I somehow managed to get a few pallets of DD 671 and Crown parts quite some time ago that I still keep.)
@DiscoveryTheBus: I suggest you post as many pictures and information as you can.
