A little pricey but a great one

Hmm, interesting, but there are some inconsistencies in the listing. A "235 slant six diesel pusher"? All of the rear-engine Crowns that I know of have Detroit Diesel engines in them and were manufactured in the late 1970's. That coach looks to be the standard mid-engine configuration, although the photos are not good enough to tell much.

Another thing, the rear tail lights are mounted in the body, not in the trunk doors. This makes me think 1970's, although the windshield seems to be a narrow old style. The belting is unique, never seen any like it.

Also wondering about the part about the bus being built as a transit bus. It is equipped with front and rear waring lights on the roof, which a transit bus wouldn't have. The rear lights appear to have been moved down the roofline, as they are aimed at the ground. It also has a parabolic mirror mounted on the right hand mirror mount, which is used to watch and watch for students crossing in front of the bus, another transit bus inconsistency.



Some better resolution photos would make figuring this out a lot easier.

That looks like a Skyview Crown with the roof top windows--fairly rare breed and most likely built before 1973 (rounded fenders) but after 1968 (tail lights in the corners).

The stainless steel belting was typical of tour buses.

As far as the school bus over head lights, that is a puzzler.

The bus may have been owned originally by a company that also did school work and needed the over head lights.
