Until very recently, the conversion process was actively underway. All of the hard, time consuming things have already been done. This includes the following: All 28 seats have been removed. However, two seats were saved to build a dinette table/booth. The wood from the seats was reclaimed and can easily be repurposed for your conversion. All of the rubber flooring has been painstakingly removed. The steel flooring has been prepped and primed with a coat of Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Metal Primer. All of the school decals inside and outside of the bus have been removed.
Everything that you see in the pictures goes with the bus. It can all be moved around to suit the particular layout of your skoolie conversion.

Wrap Up:
Why is the bus being offered for sale? It’s not by choice! Due to a complaint from a busy body neighbor, I can no longer park the bus at my apartment. That is the only reason that I’m testing the waters and offering it for sale at this time. Sell it or move, and moving is not an option at this time. I searched for more than a year to find this specific bus. If you’ve done your research regarding skoolie conversions, you know that the International DT-466 (MECHANICAL) 7.6 Liter Turbo Charged Diesel engine mated to the Allison MT643 transmission is probably one of the most sought after combinations. On top of that, a southern “Rust Free” bus is highly desirable. Activity buses are also in high demand by skoolie enthusiasts for their built-in basement storage and the fact that their use is specifically highway miles. Although the bus had to be moved and I’ve done that, I don’t have to sell it. So please, serious inquiries only.
For anyone wanting to build a skoolie, this bus has everything that you could ever want: the engine, the transmission, the low highway miles, the basement storage, southern rust free bus, and a set of six like new tires! I believe that this bus is specifically meant for a special person! It will make someone very happy. If you believe that person is you, I encourage you to contact me. Text 706-409-4368 for additional pictures or questions. I'm located in NW Georgia. Thank you.
