My father recently passed away, he had a 57 chevy bus. I think 7 windows, it has a 427 with less than 500 miles since rebuilding, 4 speed transmission and 2 speed rear axle, rv conversion started.
I know he owned it before I was born, 1967.
arizona vehicle so not rusted out.
someone contacted my mom about buying it and I am trying to figure out the value of it.
any ideas or where to find prices?

 

start at $15 grand and see if any interest. than ask him to make a counter offer.

 

I'd like to know what a "Chevy short bus....." is exactly? Got any photos?

 

Short bus would be a 15 to 20 passenger, compared to a full size that can seat 45 or so.

 

57 Chevy short bus.

 

Thanks for the clarificaion and photos---I had it in mind OP might be thinking along the lines of a Suburban or similar.

 

I will try to get a picture of it while I am home this time.

 

Well fire season is over, no heavy maintenance in shop for the helicopters, got my honey do book down to a honey do list. So today I got a couple pictures.
As far as i know it has been in Arizona it's entire life with the exception of road trips.

Damn! For it's age and what it is, that thing is in great shape.

 

FYI I learned recently that in NH you cannot drive a yellow bus (resembling, or as a retired school bus) unless it's an actual school bus. He was driving one his church had bought and got pulled over and ticketed for it...
