2001 International AmTran Partial Conversion
This bus is a 2001 International Amtran, 28ft FE, the perfect mid-size bus. It is currently registered as a motorhome in VT with clean title. It has only 164k engine miles with a powerful DT466E motor that is normally used for 40 ft buses. The transmission was replaced at 140k miles with an Allison MT643. I have all mechanical maintenance invoices including engine diagnostics, brake work, and tie rod ends.
May need a new battery, after not running it for a few months, will need a jump (cables included), but engine and air brakes work great!!!! Tires are more than halfway through their lifetime. I had zero issues during my trek – it was pretty awesome. It now sits atop a mountain waiting for someone to give it some TLC. Unfortunately, I just got into a car accident, and must sell the bus to purchase another vehicle. I am so sad to see this bus go.
I love this bus so much and wish I could finish it. This bus was going to be my primary residence, so I didn’t skimp with any of the materials. It has been gutted, insulated with spray foam, plywood floors installed, 8 RV windows have been cut, 6 new RV windows have been installed, the rest are included and ready to be installed (12 Brand New RV Windows Total), a brand new Dwarf 4K woodburning stove has been installed, and there is a wood closet installed. I have all brand new materials already purchased including solar, appliances, floors, ceiling, sinks, shower tile, RV toilet, tanks, water heater, 6000W inverter and battery. Needs electrical, plumbing, solar installed (materials already purchased). The bus is already primed and has Tropicool on the exterior roof.
I have lists of all purchased materials with receipts.

I have put so much money into this bus, but I don’t have the skills to finish it. With the bus purchase, supplies, and mechanical repairs, I have put over $30,000 into it.
It is currently registered in VT as a motorhome with a clean title. You can transfer title in VT as you don’t have to be a resident to register there.
Please contact me if interested for purchase.
