I bought my Prevost six years ago with the intention of converting it. But, serious health problems along with other obstacles in my life have stagnated my project. I feel like it's time to let this bus go.

I found that my carpentry skills were very poor and so, I have sort of made a mess of the conversion compared to some of the beautiful work that is shown on this forum. I honestly think that it would be best to completely gut the bus and begin again.

I have the bus licensed through an LLC in Montana and so, the tag is permanent. If I'm correct, all we have to do is switch ownership of the LLC.

The bus was driven into its present parking spot five years ago. In the time since, the fuel has spoiled and the bus won't fire up. So, any potential buyer would likely need to know how to drain the fuel, clean the lines, filters and injectors and then have some fresh fuel put in. I have no doubt that it would fire then because it will most certainly come to life now on ether.

The bus has a Detroit engine and an Allison five speed trans but I don't know what the model numbers are. There is also a compression brake. Beyond
that, I do not know what it will need.

The odometer is currently showing 168,000ish miles but I don't know if that's accurate or not.

More than anything, this bus needs a really good cleaning and I will be doing that over the next week or so.

As soon as I can get down to the bus, I will take some photos and have them posted here so that everyone can take a look.

I'm going to ask $6000. ...and YES, that is the bus that is in my avatar.

It will sell for quite a bit more IF someone can Really see/hear it running.

Diesel Fuel does NOT SPOIL. A full tank of fuel does not gather nearly as much moisture as a half full tank. (Less surface area for moisture to gather on inside the tank)
If the person draining the tank uses a drain plug don’t be surprised to see water….then… decent diesel fuel draining out.

GET THAT WATER OUT of the fuel lines filer and injection pump now.

Correct diesel doesn't spoil per say but you can get algea growing in tanks that are stationary for extended periods. There are algeacide products available that can make the fuel usable but the filters will have to be changed a couple of times during the first tank.
