International Harvester School bus conversion bus - school bus (1983)
for sale
Price: US $1,000.00
Price: US $1,000.00
This is my son’s bus. He started on this project
three years ago. Personal and professional commitments have forced a change of
plans, and much to his regret, he must now let someone else finish his dream
project. The bus drives and stops great. This is a project that is well on its
way but needs finishing! It has all the
makings of a great ride! Over $25K spent on it so far but the reserve is much
lower. Glass good all around. Very dry interior. The bus has sat this year outdoors and has not been washed or cleaned
for picture taking. A good power-washing will remove all debris from surrounding
trees and return the roof outdoor carpeting to its original state. Very solid bus in and out!
