2000 Ford E350 Micro Bird school bus

[cowboy4x4]

I like yours better..... less overhang in the rear as opposed to the first picture. wha does something like that cost.... if you dont mind me asking

I've seen these mini buses as cheap as $1500. They are usually duallys. I haven't seen too many SRW buses. Mine cost me a lot more. My reason for not giving an exact price is given below. It's what I wrote in another post when asked. Not trying to be a turd. If you are patient, you can usually find one for a good price.

Prices are all over the place. Ive seen them as cheap as $1500 to $$$ depending on age and condition. I won't put my purchase price because that came back to bite me once when I was trying to sell a bus. The interested party googled my specs and found a post about my bus on a forum. There aren't many school buses with an 8.3 Cummins. I think this one cost me more because I wanted a single rear wheel and a diesel.

Booked my ticket. I am flying back east to pick up my little birdie. I hope I don't run into crappy weather on the way back.

Good luck! Have a safe trip and post pics of the adventure home!

Pictures of my rig here if anybody is interested. I didn't think it was right to hog up space posting the same pics twice.

I sold the bus. My camper plans have been put on hold.

I found my replacement. Sorry guys, I've gone over to the darkside.

Been tempted to go there, too. They have a LOT of potential as a family RV. 6bt or cat?

forward controls take a little getting used to!

If you add chainspinners you will be able to go places you really shouldn't...

Is that a chairlift in back or just emergency exit? A chairlift could make a really nice motorcycle lift.

I love driving this thing. It turns on a dime. The wheelbase is 13.5 feet. The door in the back is going to be my motorcycle lift. It has a P-pump DT466 rated at a measly 190hp. I have been told that I can make that 250hp without too much expense. The trans is an AT545 and it sucks. Major robber of power. I have rear air suspension too.
