    The 2014 Blue Bird is definitely a great bus. I drove one for two years when I had a route and I loved it. That bus will be a great church bus. As long as it’s well maintained, it could last forever. I do recommend not letting it sit unused very long as it can cause aftertreatment problems, which can be expensive.

      I love the Blue Bird buses as well. Even though the Blue Birds at my school were built in 2018, and we have 4 of them, they all function very well, and I’d honestly like to ride in one over the traditional IC CE.

    That looks like an ideal Church bus and probably the right size. I would do the repairs and paint it. Could you just buy a new bonnet/ hood? It would save you filling all those holes and save time. The extra storage is a good idea. I wouldn't mess with the inside too much it is not going to be lived in after all just to get you from A to B. Good luck with this project Michael.👍👍

  • @NomadicHooker
    @NomadicHooker 10 місяців тому

    I just watched your last bus purchase video before this one. So you learned a bit since last purchase and now know what Blue Bird is vs Yellow Bird. LOL, I was yelling at the computer when it wouldn't start. The Key goes in upside down, and it probably has an interlock to where you must turn it back to the ACC position first, you'll hear a solenoid click, then you can turn the key forward to the ON and START position. It may not be equipped with that interlock but both of my later model Blue Birds do. As far as those front mirrors, if it's for a Church, I don't think I'd replace them. They ARE NOT blind spot mirrors and you're not supposed to use them or depend on them as such. They are called CrossView or CrossOver mirrors. They are for the driver to be able to check and make sure there is not small kids in front of the bus before they proceed forward after a drop. Bus looks better without them, and you will find yourself hitting your head on them when in a hurry and walk around the bus to quick paying attention to something else. I'd fill those holes when I did my Bondo work. Only thing wrong with that bus, which is nature of the beast and not a thing you can do about it, is it has all the EPA required emissions. It does however at least have the best powertrain option with the Red Cummins 6.7 ISB and should be the Allison 2500 PTS transmission. Just keep up on emissions maintenance, don't run it out of DEF and it should be a good one for many years being a Church bus.

Used to sit 3 antique farm tractors in need of restoration the guy sold 2 of them to collectors that are restoring them he got $1500.00 a piece for them. Now only one antique farm tractor is sitting there in need of restoration. I don't know who the owner is but it won't be that hard to locate him. It looks like it won't take much to get it running and restore it.
