2009 Blue Bird Vision 65-Passenger School Bus – Cummins 6.7L Diesel

GovDealsVehicles📍Lawton, IA
GovAuctions Summary

A retired 2009 Blue Bird Vision 65-passenger school bus with a Cummins 6.7L diesel and Allison automatic, sold by a school district after rear-corner body damage. Bus conversion builders, camper and mobile business converters, and school bus parts sellers are the usual buyers, so this is a conversion or parts-out play. Inspect the passenger-side rear damage for frame or structural issues, and confirm the 119,000-plus miles and that the air brakes and emergency door hardware work.

Estimated flip margin and comp range available with Pro. Summary may occasionally contain inaccuracies; check the full description before bidding.
