PRICE REDUCED 2008 GMC Vandura 3500 Short Bus

~We are moving and cannot take the bus with us. Price reduced to sell ASAP~

Are you looking for the perfect foundation for your mobile food business or a one-of-a-kind tailgate machine? This 2008 Vandura 3500 short school bus is partially converted and ready for your finishing touches. Equipped with a robust 1990 GMC diesel engine (approx. 215k miles) and with automatic transmission this bus is in running condition and primed to reach its full potential with a little bit of TLC. The engine runs well, but the vehicle requires new brake discs and fluid, and a new battery, before regular road use. The last tune-up was in June 2022 and it has been in storage since then.

Whether you’re planning a food truck, a mobile bar, or the ultimate festival bus, this “shorty” has the industrial bones to get you there.

• Ready for Service: Features a 27” x 52” service window with a sturdy steel awning—perfect for serving customers come rain or shine.
• Interior & Durability: The floor has been upgraded with brand-new metal diamond-plated sheeting. The walls and ceiling are painted metal, offering a clean, industrial look that’s easy to sanitize. Tires with 80% tread, used but in great condition and lasting for thousands more miles. Interior standing-height of 74”.

This bus is a rare find that combines utility with personality. It’s a blank-slate, currently in running condition, registration is up to date as PNO, and just needs a creative owner to take it across the finish line. Selling because we are moving on to a different project and cannot take it with us.
