2004 40ft. Bluebird All American RE Diesel Pusher, 8.3 Cummins Diesel, Allison Transmission with unlocked 6th gear (3000 series) 100 Gallon fuel tank with 85K original miles. This was a Florida school bus sourced from BGA Bus Sales. Brand new starter and battery. Bus has already been titled as a motorhome, clean and clear title in hand. It is currently registered and insured with a valid FL tag.
This bus was purchased with the intention of our family living and traveling full-time but due to life changes we are no longer able to continue working on it. All the work listed below has been done with great care and research. It has been stored under a pole barn over the last year, has been run and driven frequently.
The Skoolie is ready for plumbing and electrical. We will include the floor plans we had in mind however it is essentially a blank canvas ready for its new owners.

· All school bus stickers, lights, and signs have been removed.

· There was some minor internal floor from a few leaky windows, but all rust has been mitigated and repaired using FDC Rust Converter (a professional grade rust repair) and sealed with Rustoleum High Performance Protective Enamel.
