At 2400 pounds you're not going to find a bus floor that can support that kind of weight. There aren't any modern cars in the sub-2000s as far as weight thanks to safety and emissions tech.

That's a cool buggy! It's only 100 lbs more that the Fiat. But you're right, it's a lot bigger in size. Will that size even fit between the walls?
