WE BOUGHT A WRECKED 2014 BLUE BIRD SCHOOL BUS FROM COPART 

Great church bus. Cover “School” or paint over it and ditch red lights SC Highway Patrol can advise you. Funny laws about school busses. Your church is lucky to have you and Ivan.

The 2014 Blue Bird is definitely a great bus. I drove one for two years when I had a route and I loved it. That bus will be a great church bus. As long as it’s well maintained, it could last forever. I do recommend not letting it sit unused very long as it can cause aftertreatment problems, which can be expensive.

hey Mike and Ivan! fellow Christian from the UK here, I'd keep the paintwork as it is apart from just minor clean up. Instead put a poster with an encouraging scripture on the back for anyone driving behind. Bless you.

Very good! Praise God! We like to see you are involved in church !

An great paint job that goes with church colors 🤔💯

YOU WERE IN MY STATE! Glad you got a good deal. I love the way you support the kingdom of God. Be blessed, hope to be able to visit you one day....

I see it started the first time after you put it in park. ;)

It helps when you have put the shifter into park as I noticed it was in middle then in next clip it’s at top park and now bus starts lol😊

You were trying to crack it in drive lol 😂

Hi guys from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍👍

Restore it, it's nice. I'm impressed.

Thanks friends for sharing the good purchase of the Blue Bus. 👍👍

I'd do it like the Partridge Family bus but put your church name on the side instead. Great buy!

What a Kool skool bus ! Fancy polished aluminum rear rims. Plush drivers seat as well as the kids seat. Air conditioning! And upper storage, never seem that in a school bus Maybe for backpacks that all the kids use today !

Nice cover but we all know you forgot to put it in park before trying to start it. 😂

Michael: Ivan loves that fiberglass work! 😀😀 Let's see the work! Thanks guys for sharing!

You should have used a little cup of gasoline held up under the nest - no extra cleaning required. But I suppose the spray did the job. 👏🏻👍🏻

Cummins motor , that's good. Maybe come up with a design that goes with your church somehow and do a wrap on it!

Great buy for the church yes mod it and paint

I used to live in Maryland (Frederick County), and they owned some 2014 Bluebirds similar to this one. I rode a few of them as spares and they ran nicely. I hope the church that got this bus likes it.

Yes please record the work being done.

Absolutely let's see you turn the school bus into a church bus. God bless you fellas for doing this. A church is only as strong as its kids who need a good reliable bus. Baby blue with a white strip down the sides was our colors at our church at Kelham Ave Baptist church in okc.

Nice bus I think God was guiding your hand there, how's the house build going 🤔🤔

Didddddd I really see you checking the oil while engine running 😂😂😂😂😂

Nice bus..o hope they make bus party or homemade camping bus

I would like to see you rebuild the bus, to bad your little friends couldn't come back with you...🐝

thanks 4 the ride

The sports busses came with those racks.

Great video nice to see fixed up GOD BLESS

Finally, you feature a school bus. Vice President Kamala Harris even said “school buses are big and yellow, they can take kids to school to learn. School buses will someday be powered by solar energy,or tiny windmills, not nasty smelly air polluting fuel.”

Nice choice good bus

beuatiful video,s from you everytime

Black with ghost flames on the front. Would get alot of attention for a church buss.

Hi there I think a baby blue or even a metallic blue as a collour for the bus would make the bus stand out wherever you go but would keep the grill white or maybe change that to black I have an idea that the blue and the aluminum wheels will compliment the other and it the grill is chrome keep it just as is

A great find, yea I want to see all what you do with it. I like the idea of the storage boxes on the underside woukd be a great addtion.

At 07:40 coming into the underpass then out onto the Mobile, Alabama, causeway! Made that trip a lot of times.

Ok I love bluebirds so y’all need to keep it

Nice running rig

3 kids to a seat when I was driving those last year..so looks like the biggest you can get. We had seatbelts recently installed, and it was 3 per seat. Not all school districts..or bus manufacturers have seatbelts. Love the Bluebirds..

Awesome job on finding the church agreat bus and pretty sure blue bird is definitely best built, put those mirrors on the fender it helps when you are cornering, way easier to see cars on your side👍

Chesapeake bay Bridge tunnel. Been over it several times as a kid. Pretty cool

👍Гарний бус зробіть будинок на колесах.

digital, two-mini-fans!? Nikko Brothers coming-up on the world! 🎉

I'd love to see you two repair it and add your unique touches to it. Great buy!!!

What will they bring home next. Bus does look like it was worth thr price and I am sure you will have a quick turn around as they always seem in demand. Keep bussin.

Metallic dark blue with gold leaf church name and logo. Also a hydraulic lift for the disabled wheel chair users.

I’d love to see it get restored. Buses are so cool

What you guys have is A Blue Bird Vision, it’s called that because of it great visibility from the slanted hood and bright headlights. Plus they look great

Going across the bridge tunnel tomorrow, this will be the 3rd time in a few weeks.

Definitely want to see you restore it! 😊❤❤❤❤❤

yes restore it

its a awsome deal. i think wrapping it would be cool buy repainting it i cant really get on board with

Definitely interested to see the renovation of this bus! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Milan, Italy!

Yes lets see the repair and upgrades.. After all that is what you channel is known for.. Other than that good buy.

I LOVE SCHOOL BUSES. The Thomas saf-t-liner C2 I rode for 9 years is numbered 594. ( pretty sure it's still in service)

Starts much better in Park....

That blue bird vision is loaded, air conditioning, air brakes, am fm stereo and pa system. And luggage racks along with an air door you got a good deal. Depending on the rear axle gear ratio plug into the computer and shut off the speed governer and see what shes got. Also check the refrigerant charge on the air conditioning also. You are missing the battey box door tho on the bus

That is a beautiful ride .

Love to see the transformation

That looks like an ideal Church bus and probably the right size. I would do the repairs and paint it. Could you just buy a new bonnet/ hood? It would save you filling all those holes and save time. The extra storage is a good idea. I wouldn't mess with the inside too much it is not going to be lived in after all just to get you from A to B. Good luck with this project Michael.👍👍

I would love to have one of the old one small one ❤

Fantastic vlog and fantastic bus, reminds me of the one in the the film Ferris Bueller’s day off 🚌😀👍

Only one of the two AC compressor clutches was turning that could be why the AC was struggling.

Very good buy for your church . And I can not wait to see it done on your guys channel.

Can't wait to see it tricked out

You should go grab some aluminum wheels for the front to match the back. Any semi salvage yard should have them.

Hey Niki what is the highway that goes miles and miles over water and then goes into a tunnel? Nice video, good bus for the church to do God's work..

These are such fine buses to ride in. I got my CDL with it in 2021. Does it have the rear view camera? Oh.... and REMEMBER to stop for train tracks, other traffic will expect it. The cubby over your chair is where I kept the First Aid and log books. Check the codder pins often at the front.

I just watched your last bus purchase video before this one. So you learned a bit since last purchase and now know what Blue Bird is vs Yellow Bird. LOL, I was yelling at the computer when it wouldn't start. The Key goes in upside down, and it probably has an interlock to where you must turn it back to the ACC position first, you'll hear a solenoid click, then you can turn the key forward to the ON and START position. It may not be equipped with that interlock but both of my later model Blue Birds do. As far as those front mirrors, if it's for a Church, I don't think I'd replace them. They ARE NOT blind spot mirrors and you're not supposed to use them or depend on them as such. They are called CrossView or CrossOver mirrors. They are for the driver to be able to check and make sure there is not small kids in front of the bus before they proceed forward after a drop. Bus looks better without them, and you will find yourself hitting your head on them when in a hurry and walk around the bus to quick paying attention to something else. I'd fill those holes when I did my Bondo work. Only thing wrong with that bus, which is nature of the beast and not a thing you can do about it, is it has all the EPA required emissions. It does however at least have the best powertrain option with the Red Cummins 6.7 ISB and should be the Allison 2500 PTS transmission. Just keep up on emissions maintenance, don't run it out of DEF and it should be a good one for many years being a Church bus.

You guys aren't boring😂

I seen you try to play off the fact that it wants in park when you tried to start it first😂. It helps to put it in park first key won't move it it's not.

Good for you guys!!

Make it one of a kind, it's going to a good cause and I'm sure it will be put to good use......Nice one Niko Bros

Great school. Bus I would love one on these in th UK, but a little big for UK road I think. Great channel matey

bring back the who has the better deal brother series please

Yes please show the repair on this!

Nice bus! They go for about $5000-$6000 used in New England (by Connecticut/mass line) when buying from a school bus company and not private sale

I would love to see your paint the

Definitely would like to see what you do to it..

Very nice deal on a great bus. 👍 I would love to see the repair and modification video on it.

Hi guys Congratulations nice school bus,glad you made it back to the shop safe, love your dog,waiting for the repairs and the finish product, stay safe

There are laws that saw at least in New York that it has to be about 90 % different color then chrome yellow ( school bus color ) . It can not look like a school bus , the destination sign .Some buses have higher head room and pa system,inside racks , rear air.Yours has some options that regular buses do not. We had a nice Thomas that had a lot of extras when i was a partner in a contract school bus company A t2000 use to be the one to have in a bus with no hood. Yes I would like to see what you all do with her !

you need to bring that white jeep to the channel, and bring back that winnabego rv

Right as the school year starts! Good find! Also, after I’d seen the bees above the drivers seat if I’d been the one to buy it, I would’ve ran out of there 🤣

Busssssssss Busssssss

Very nice Bluebird! Knowing these buses, the 5th digit of the VIN identifies the size. The biggest is an 84 passenger (N in the vin), down to 78 passenger (K) to a 72 passenger (G), which I see a lot of Visions are. Can’t wait to see more!

I think one of the two AC compressors are shot.

Love to see it modified 😊 go for it

Awesome!

I am watching from Elmira NY it looks pretty nice. In Wellsvurg NY close to the PA boarder in a little wooded area with a creek next to Bill Lewis sons house. Used to sit 3 antique farm tractors in need of restoration the guy sold 2 of them to collectors that are restoring them he got $1500.00 a piece for them. Now only one antique farm tractor is sitting there in need of restoration. I don't know who the owner is but it won't be that hard to locate him. It looks like it won't take much to get it running and restore it.

Your going to also need driver side mirrors that go next to the driver side window, hood mirrors if you want them. The ones I'm use to have 60 gallon fuel tank, except the ones I drive are propane powered.

Would be a great project for an RV.

Nice Bus , super challenge, nice video !! needed one of these painted black, black windows, mafia style 😁😁😁

Fit a sound system in in with speakers in the back

Nice vid of a nice bus, would be great to see what you will do with it.

easy work

Love to see it made unique. Maybe made into a motorhome

OH SO YOURE THE ONE WHO BOUGHT IT! NICE GRAB!

❤❤

So were are all the repairs and builds .looking forward to them
