LMAO!  I know, that's what I was thinking, too.  But, I've never been accused of being entirely sane to begin with. 

Yeah, wasn't sure if he was confused, or just trying to hit more search tags!  But, I like the way you think!  Low/hungry.  Same seller/dealer shows what appears to be a very nicely kept/equipped Marathon Prevost: http://www.rvt.com/Prevost-Marathon-1995-Eugene-OR-ID5409683-UX122718 Seems like...

Well, the "old Prevost" is a '95, so it's only 19 years old, and the MCI is only 39........I say "only", with tongue in cheek!  I'm attracted to the Prevost listing, because the interior needs a total overhaul, which I could do mainly by DIY(I'm handy that way).  I'm attracted to the '75...

Of course, then there is this turd that could use polishing: http://www.rvt.com/Prevost-Featherlite-Country-Coach-1995-San-Diego-CA-ID5795394-UX122718 Low miles, Series 60 engine, Prevost......what could be wrong??  Been vandalized, and TWO shops have declined to work on it "due to the...

Yes, I did notice the date stamp.  So, I sent an email through the rvt site.  Received a reply from the owner this morning, still available.  Coincidentally, he bought his replacement Prevost two years or so ago from Tulsa RV(down the road from where I am).  He's got a pretty good video linked...

Came across this bus on rvt.com......anyone know it?  One thing I've noticed in my hunting, many bus sites are not updated regularly!  Sent off a request on rvt, so, we'll see if it's still available!  http://www.rvt.com/MCI-Mci-Mc8-1975-Dublin-GA-ID4971927-UX124477

Hmmm....has some possibilities.....minor tweaking to make it "mine".....errr......"ours"...... http://www.motorhomeclassifieds.com/206287.html

From one newbie on the forum to another, Welcome!  (though I don't have one yet!)

Yup, well aware of the Great White North and corroded pieces!  Some of the guys on the car forums I visit are incredibly brave bringing back some of the cars they do! Yes, I like the one-piece door as well.  Trying to stick with one like that.  (think I saw that recommendation on conversions101...

The more I think about it, the more I agree with that sentiment.  "Tweaking" to fit, more than an entire conversion.  Though I've not ruled that out TOTALLY yet!  #6881 has potential.....so long as I can program those horns on top to play, "Boomer Sooner!"......LOL.

Although lacking of pictures, this one looks like an interesting starting point...... http://www.bargainbusnews.com/Buses/3051-1976TMCCrusaderII/ Lots of prepwork done, new tires, water/waste tanks, and EL panel, windows skinned......hmmmm.....and I even could live with the paint...

^ That, I would like to avoid!  Bodywork, cabinetry, plumbing I feel pretty confident in my abilities to avoid "jury rigged" looking, while maybe not quite "professional".  Electrical......that would be my #1 hurdle to jump, which makes purchasing an "older" conversion a bit more attractive...

LMAO!  Sounds like it is JUST the project for me, then!  ALL my projects are "black holes for money"!  (Although, I did build a mighty fine front end loader for my garden tractor that has more than paid for itself not having to rent a bigger unit!)  Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the replies! Skill level....well, my avatar pic is my latest "project".  It taught me......much!  Only thing that would "scare" me, to start with, on a bus, is the electrical systems.  Design, integration, etc.....but, I'm fairly certain I could learn, and/or lean on some people I...

Greetings, from the Sooner nation!  I'm an Okie, that recently got bitten by the "let's convert a BUS!" bug.....happened innocuosly enough, when I was browsing CraigsList, and tumbled across a charter bus for what I thought seemed a darn good price.  Well, other than thinking, hey, that would...
