2001 Shorty for sale in Houston TX

[ChiliChzPoopTart]

Time to part with my bus and move on to other projects. Title in my name, registration is expired as a private bus.


2001 bluebird with T444e ~160k miles has a working handicap lift. Seats are torn out, ceiling and walls have 2x 1/"2 sheets of foam with an air gap. Roof deck brackets and rails are installed. from the back of the driver's seat to the rear door is 16', I think overall is like 24'. Tires are fine, runs good. Dash has a short so sometimes doesnt come on, I just use gps on phone for speed. I'll get some pics up in a day or two when I go over to it. I take it for a spin every other weekend. Hydraulic brakes so no CDL needed I had it insured through progressive for like $600/yr. Very easy to drive, wheelbase is shorter than longbed crew cab truck.


In a perfect world I'd get $6900 to pay for my next project but That's a bit much I'm open to offers

Too bad you need to bail on it.
Your price isn't too far out of line for what you describe, especially if it's a rust free Texas bus.
Good luck on your sale.
Post pics when you can...

[Disastrogirl]

[heymschris]

its real similar to my Red bus.. came from the same district.. CyFair takes really good care of their busses and mine has pretty much zero rust.. this should be a good one for someone!

Mine's from a couple districts down the road, Ft. Bend. But yeah, Rust ain't a thing down here in Houston. There's surface rust in a handful of spots from grinding off the decals since I never got around to painting it

Ok I'm a liar it's got more miles than I remember. Headroom is 6'2.5" without any flooring down. cranked up a bit slow but it's been 40 degrees here for a few days, oh well. Also it's 15' from the back wall to rear of drivers seat.


A/c blows strong, needs a charge. looks like one bolt of the roof brackets has a small leak. Emergency hatch was removed and I put plexiglass over it, no leaks. The roof brackets are through bolted into the ribs so they're pretty beefy.


I started putting up luaun panels but meh, I'm over it. They're ok. The wheel covers aren't bolted down, neither is the bench from a dodge van.

......anybody?

Two really odd questions. How long is the wheelchair ramp? And what weight is it rated for?

We're looking for something this size--you're a bit far, it'd be a long drive home. Do you know what trans it has? How is it on the highway?

my red one turns sharper than a crew cab 6'4 bed Ram 1500. I think it may even turn a little sharper than my current ram 1500 Extended cab 6'4 bed.
