I think the owner of the Gillig is in it for too much and wants to avoid a loss.

That being said, he answered my questions within 24 hours. We're talking about a medium duty chassis with a heavy...

I believe that Cummins specifies a life of 300-350k miles on their B-series. I know people have gotten close to half-a-million miles out of them. Unless it was a trip bus, 280K miles sounds like a...

The only 6.6 L diesel that i can think of off the top of my head is GM's Duramax. 99.9% chance that it's not the Duramax. It may be a typo. In the header they list 7.2 L. In the body, they list...

They are specced out very nicely. Their only drawbacks are the CAT 3126 and all the rust. Besides those two issues, nice buses to build on.

These are three really nice buses for conversion, especially if you're look for a 40ish foot rig.

I know the coaches I drove 20 years ago had 12Rs on them. I don't know what they cost, however. Can those with 12Rs on their rigs share their cost?

The DT466E should be plenty strong to pull that model, unless 75 MPH down the freeway is your goal.

The CL listing states that it's a gasser. If accurate, I doubt it's a Benz engine. The fuel door does appear to read "DIESEL", however. It's a First Student bus. I think I'd stay clear, especially...

Between Manson and being a movie star, I'm sure there's some sucker out there willing to part with $40k. Heck, $40k would fund a REALLY NICE conversion.
