Thoughts on this 97 International

Hey y'all,

We've been hunting for a while on what will be our second try for a bus to start a new project with. I know we'd like something with a DT466 and ideally not a 545 as the transmission as it'll be used for national travel. Found this bus and its relatively close (Im in Austin) but the seller isn't sure on the transmission. What do y'all think of this bus and the selling price?

I can be patient and there's another bus currently listed here thats in FL thats much more what we'd be looking for but getting it to TX will be the issue.

Uhhhh. Yea.

Air brake, air suspension. Out of Colorado , there is a chance that this thing has a retarder. Put a deposit on it today. And drive down to look. Put money in your pocket if it checks out. Crawl under, check the transmission numbers your self and test drive. Unrusty. This has a lot going for it. Don’t wait go look and test drive.

Wow, you could eat off that underside. I mean, if the food didn't fall on your head.
