If you love old buses and better yet if you're a gun lover, this is a drop dead gorgeous bus with a very cool arsenal.

Super nice bus Gil. Not a bad arsenal of weapons either. Thanks for sharing.

WOW , Awesome old Bus. Those Windows in the ceiling are cool. But I bet it is like an Oven out in the sun ?

Believe it or not, the Flxible cools off very quickly and is insulated very well. The eyebrow window lets just enough light in to brighten the interior without generating too much heat. When they say, "they don't build 'em like that anymore," they may have been talking about the Flx!

Jerry, doing an interior renovation is on my future to-do list. I'll take my time on this to come up with the right design and find the right fit with a converter.

These look great. But like most streetrods, beauty and practicality are seldom more than skin deep.

The Magpul bus gives a whole new meaning to "gun it". Sorry that was a cheap shot.

Hi Jerry,

Based on my experience with two restored GMC motor homes it will be quite a challenge to pull one behind your Prevost unless you put it on a full flat bed trailer. If you do, watch your overall length since the GMC is likey 26’ long. The front wheels cannot turn while towing (the FWD auto transmission won’t be properly lubricated) and just lifting the front results in being low at the rear even with the air bags inflated all the way. And, the only good place to grab one is via the front cross member which is set far enough back that you can damage the front bumper, radiator or front fascia if not really careful. A properly equipped tow truck can manage a tow with the front off the ground if they go slowly (which most won’t).
