Mike-- Looking at the pictures of the engine compartment I would say this is NOT a good buy. It looks like the bus came from the rust belt, which you want to...
I don't know-- I just don't like the looks of the engine compartment. It even looked like there could of been a fire in there, the hoses and wiring don't look...

I've got 3 RTS's in Oklahoma City for sale. They are as rust free as any I've seen due to the low usage of salt and relatively dry environment. If you're ...
If you saw my engine compartment, you'd condem my bus. I do not think it has any severe rust underneath as far as I have seen, and I was told the engine was...

My 85 RTS came with 2 8Ds, but had an air starter. You got maybe 15 seconds of cranking from an air starter. I have since replaced the air starter with and...
