This low-mileage Starliner is in excellent condition and ready to drive away.
As the destination sign suggests,it's still using the original 5-speed manual transmission, coupled to the equally original Detroit 4-71 Diesel.
Originally built for Ray Charles!

The solar panel, to charge the house battery, is brand new, as is the refrigerator. My husband added a wider rear brake system, trucker's cruise control, and two heaters. We are the third owner. The bus was originally built for Ray Charles, then the next owner converted it into a motor home, then us.
