1983 International Harvester Other bus - school bus

International Harvester Other bus - school bus (1983)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

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. Very solid bus that 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!

Bus Details:

- 1983 International Harvester
-

- Already registered and titled as a MOTORHOME. The hard part is already done.

The bus drives and stops great. This project is well under way but needs finishing! It has all the makings of a great ride! Over $25K spent on it so far:
