Now John, I was honest the bus did run. It was hot wired ,portable gas tank and no brakes and it has only been sitting about 15 years so you know it's cherry. Grandaugthers husband wants to enter school bus demolition derby but when I mentioned the no brakes granddaughter nixed plan. I tried to explain the object of a demolitiom derby was to keep going, not stop. She ain't buying it so far but I'll have a good summer sending emails asking when they are going top pick up the bus
