I've seen two for sale recently. One in Tulsa (close to home) for $30k, and it's a wreck. The other in California for $75000 ... a full rebuild.

They are not really suitable for Skoolie conversions without significant engineering changes.

They are, by the way, the buses I rode daily as a child.

What engine did those have in them? I've never been able to look under the bonnet on one of those.

No? Probably too busy eating bangers and mash.

Bangers, are sausages, but not brats which are not sausages but something else.

I'm thinking the old greyhounds were Detroit diesel 8V-71 and Allison of course.
