Free International S1700 Bus

Hi, we recently inherited a property with an abandoned bus. Its in rough shape and missing the engine, but I know it can be difficult to find parts for these things so I figured I’d try to give it away before having it hauled off.

That is terrific of you. Where is the bus located? We have members from Austrailia to Belize.

You wouldn't happen to be in the Satellite Beach area of Florida, would you?

Hey, I do happen to know the exact spot in which your bus is located!

You might want to inquire with multiple scrap yards & auto recyclers, they pay about .08/lb. However, not all accept large vehicles.

Transporter fees vary wildly, depending on the access to the bus, round trip distance (port-to-port) and condition of the tires.... (Crane onto flatbed or flat towing cabable.)

Before you call, do anything you can do yourself to make the work easier (invoice smaller). Airbrakes need air to be unlocked and caged open. Remove the debris surrounding the bus. Air up the tires. Cut limbs, remove fencing, empty the contents of the bus.....



If it becomes too expensive to move, the steel tube makes a terrific kids playhouse or chicken coop.
