For Sale-- 1996 Bluebird 7 Window $10,000

[byebyebirdie]

Dang wish this was in my budget!!!! Just a bit over. Are you firm on 10k?

Pretty close. In parts alone-- $1450 for the reman differential-- NOT installed, $200 for 5 gallons of 75W-140 synthetic gear oil, $190 for Transynd 668 Transmision fluid, $100 for trans filter kit, $225 for AC compressor, and $60 for Filter dryer, plus Freon, $1350 paid to driveline shop to redo u-joints and driveshaft, new AD9 air drier was $300, the two new Goodyear airbags were $160 each, and I either did this myself, or hired it done-- like rerouting the exhaust out the side-- and most of this stuff you can't see-- but it really needed doing to make sure the bus was as "road- ready"-- as possible...most of the time none of these things ever get brought up...

I have some 250watt solar panels, an MPPT solar charge controller, a never used propane instant hot water heater that I will throw in. I also have a virtually new Samlex 12 volt 3000 watt pure sine wave invertor (this thing is a beast-- on Amazon for $1225) that I will ad for an additional charge.

My wife informed me that I have some "wiggle room..."

Most folks want to--
Raise the roof, and all that that entails plus the potential insurance issues-- this bus has sufficient roof height from the factory for most people--
Change the rear axle ratio-- already done
Have AC going down the road-- already has it-- in spades...
Air ride rear suspension-- don't know how you could add that--

Where in Alabama are you?

 

[skydawg]

Certainly a bit of a unicorn you have there
Air ride is one of the few things I regret missing out on for my bus.

 

[PorchDog]

I am in Hamilton, AL-- on I22 about 10 miles from the Alabama/Mississippi state line. We are about 70 miles south of the the Tennessee/Alabama state line.

 

[PorchDog]

Make me a reasonable offer. This is a good bus...

Wow. This is a GREAT bus… If I wasn’t in the middle of converting one right now, I would be all over this. I constantly search for NGD 466’s and they are harder and harder to find. Mine has a 6+1 behind it, and an automatic with air ride would sure be a nice “truck” to have. Good luck with the sale! Maybe someday!
