be careful with a bus from jacksonville NC.
i live there and bought my first bus from them.
they love the 545 transmission and to gear there buses for there road speed.
all basicly flat lands around here.
but you might get lucky because you dont see many flat front buses here?
everything is dog nose.
maybe it was an activity bus.
have you bought it yet?
i can go by the bus barn and talk to them about it if you want.
PM me details of bus number etc... if you want me to go talk to them.

i drive past there everyday and have met and talked to the mechanics a few times.
am more than willing to go see them again to get specifics for you.
and might stop by there anyway ask about bus 333 and get the real info. for you.
just so you know exactly what you are getting.
this isnt a normal onslow county bus so i want to know where in NC it came from.
and how long they have had it?
however long they have had it it will come with full inspection and maitenance records from the time they received and be ready to hit the road.
regardless of its speed.
send me a text and we can go from there if you want.
my number is 910-581-7210.
aint offering to meet or anything just offering to look at the bus before you get here and let you know exactly what it is you are getting and any problems the mechanics had with it?

sorry one more thing?
there is only one more like that in onslow county and it is in a storage yard and i see it almost everyday.
it hasnt moved in at least a year?
if its from the bus barn is one thing if its the one in the storage lot with its nose next to the fence instead of backed in in your pic I can meet with them as well just send me there info.
live 7 min from there.
that question came up because in your picture doesnt look like the bus barn parking lot?
but it has been awhile since i have been to the bus barn.
just trying to help.
