Just pointing out an interesting bus, is all.
Most buses I've seen have 2 data plates; 1 being the mfr, engine, serial #, point of manufacture, etc., and the other is all about the suspension and maybe rear axle ratio. Or words to that effect.

I think it's a CAT.

The pic of the valve cover label definitely is by CAT and a 3116. Looks totally different though than my FE 3116 in a RE configuration.

impound in middle Ga.
Wrecker guy won't even let me in the impound to look at it till he gets his tow/storage fees ($575 as of today and $30 a day incurring). He got popped on his way back from TN. for no insurance.

Honestly if I was just building a weekend warrior RV I would leave the school bus windows for the sheer light.. and likely wouldnt bother tearing out the ceiling either...

these were likely refurbed once in their lifetime .. have to see the paperwork to be sure but hard to believe one would be run as a transit for 20 years and not be..
Low floors are nice tall ceiling in a good bit of the bus but of course bring challenges of very little under-bus room..

Ooo!
And then top it off with a stained glass, Tiffany trolley transom!
Tho finding a classy-looking door with the accompanying mullion window glass made of a vehicularly approved glazing might prove to be a chore...

Keep in mind you only have 53" of door height, 57" if you move the header up as far as it will go. Those doors are 80", lot of trimming to do for a bus.
