and now I'm even less inspired. It has bald 12.00-22.5 tires, which don't fit anything I have. The conversion is well-started, but nothing is close to finished. It has a "frame" consisting of intricate trusses of small square tubing that would be useless for anything else and not much value as scrap. Maybe the 22.5 wheels would be worth something. With the head gasket blown on an odd-ball engine and who-knows-what kind of tranny, I can't imagine using the powerplant for anything. The best things about it is the 125 gallons of diesel, which alone is worth the price, and the batteries. It is pretty clean, but it's still just a big boxy modern city bus. Since it does still move around under its own power, and we don't have any laws against living in busses here, I expect somebody will drive it to their own special property, park it permanently, and attempt to live in it. Then when they realize it has no insulation and 1/8" of aluminum doesn't provide much protection against North Idaho winters, it'll become a storage shed and/or chicken coop.
