Short Bus in VA - $9500 (Alexandria)

This one also seems like too much. Thoughts?

Shortie BB flat-front.

Is that a RE?
How do you fit a v8 Detroit in one otherwise?

Well, my friend I think I am going to take you up on your offer to retrieve this bus. MANY THANKS! After you have cleaned it up for me, AND I can afford a motor (for you to install) I'll fly up and get it out of your way. I'll drive it over to Ohio, and let Christopher hook up all the latest goodies before going down to Fla. and have ECCB and his buddies do their thang. Then home to Texas, via the DFW area for anything they may want to help with. Finally home to Houston, so that Tango can work his magic on whatever is left. (I know he will be able to make something I will need)

Again,
Thank you

I saw that bus at a bus rally 20+ years ago. Small world.

The company I drive for is selling off a bunch of their buses, mostly Bluebird TCs with some International DT466s. Pretty sure most of them have the MT643 or the Allison 2000 series so they would be a solid deal.

I'd say average for Midwest buses, they have an in-house body shop that frequently patches rust and resprays the older buses. Floors behind the rear axle tend to get a lil crunchy though

All red flags that I've learned always point to a waste of time or at least high drama.

A smart feller knows good pics, info and attitude attracts more potential buyers.

I would not inquire or look at this guys bus for any price even if it was parked next door.

I'm sure the seller will be disappointed to know that.
