Fs: 1995 bb aa

Here we go:

8.3 Cummins, with oil sample records
250HP@2600RPM
MT643 Allison with retarder
Webasto heater - 100 hr full rebuild done
4.10 rear gear, probably will do about 80 if you are that crazy.
New tires
New alternator
Impeccable maintenance
Good brakes
Newish front shocks
New synthetic oil in rear diff. Synthetic in from wheels
New thermostats, alternator, with a spare.
2-8D batteries in good shape
45A Iota 12v power supply/charger
All interior lights LED, welding glasses not included.
Converted enough for us. No water onboard
Little fridge
Gobs of heaters. Cold weather spec'd bus
Raycor fuel separator, heater
220k I think.
All marker lights changed to LED, except for the 2 front turn signals
European sealed beams
Deer guard
Led bar light
Pass through belly storage

Now the bad points:

Paint is horrible. Everything but the roof is grey primer at this time.

First $15k takes it, unless I change my mind, which will probably happen in 5, 4, 3, 2....

Looking for something half the size to replace it.

This was it when it looked good:


Couple random pix

Nice bus!

250hp 8.3 & MT-643 is a great combo for skoolie duty.

How many miles?

I remember reading your build thread. . .somoene's gonna end up with a really nice conversion.

A bit too big for what I'm looking for.

need something half the size check this out

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...810050317.html
First off she's our beauty so must go to a loving home.

it has a Chev v8 gas motor, 195,000 kilometers (120,000 miles) automatic trani, manual windows and doors, natural AC (open the windows) , front and rear heaters. Seats 16 adults or 22 kids. we've had her @15 years, Driven summer only, no rust. No accidents (couple of bumper scrapes see door below). recent new trani, starter, battery, 4 core rad, brakes all around are good, seat covers are good (some pics show old covers), Rear leaf springs, great tires all around, government inspected every season before we put her on the road.
The pots of ezy dry on the floor are to keep the moisture down while it is in winter storage

re door, the passenger entry door tripped on a tree root last summer. it opens and closes still but either needs a new one or some body work. The hinges are fine just the door panel, we've not put any effort into this repair yet. We just got busy with winter. Yes we have the glass and rubber seals.

hmmm what else, we bought it from a 1st nations group with 58,000 km on it. Installed the roof rack and used it for our adventure company. Now we've bought an airport shuttle bus that holds more people so our '16' is ready to go to a new home.

It's in winter storage up on a friends farm and as of Feb 2 has 3 feet of snow around it (yes we've been shoveling off the roof). the pics show a 20' Makenzie canoe on top which we'd sell as well if you want. We'd think the snow will be gone by late March. Yes you could hire a plow to get it our earlier if you want. We're posting now so you have a chance to figure out if it's right for you and if so great.


We have all kinds of records will have to get them from our shop. like we said above, government safety certified every spring.

We live in Whistler BC Canada

We're not finding any other buses like this out on the market so far so not sure what fair market value is. We Sold our 24 seater last year for a similar price as what we asking so that's where we got our price. suggestions are welcome.

Ask any questions you may have. We have a bunch more pics ask for what you'd like. cheers

Well, I dont think anyone is going to end up with it but me. I told you I would change my mind. There is no way I am going to find anything like this again, and I dont have much ambition to do another.

I'm thinking the $4500 range. Its highly valuable to you. But not to others. It's only worth what someone will pay on the open market.
