Purchase gas bus Rich Schneider 2-27-00  
Whats the longest gas bus made that can be converted into a limo coach that has a flat front. A diesel would be to loud and smelly for the wedding business. Interested in the information and where to purchase one.

:EVERY commercial operator I know uses an exc version of a standard coach to do weddings.

The folks are much more interested in Fancy Looking , clean modern, with good air cond and usually video display than worrying about what the exhaust pipe smells like .

You need to do some more market reseaech for your business plan.

I would tend to agree with FF. Taking a school bus and trying to turn it into a limo would cost more than it would be worth.

And trust me, you wouldn't want a gas transit. 3 MPG would be great fuel mileage in one of them. 1-2 MPG w/the a/c running would not be out of the normal range.

If you are bound and determined to get one, every manufacturer made up to 40 footers with gas engines. But the newest ones would be at least twenty-five, if not thirty years old.

Parts for those old style big blocks are expensive and few and far between.

Good luck and happy trails.

Where is this school district? Maybe AL? If you cannot spell diesel you should not even think of converting a bus. Take some spelling lessons and then ask your question!
