NO had hundreds of school buses alined and not used during the cane. They were completely flooded out. Now the city is selling them on Ebay. One is up to $5,000 some. What I cannot understand is why were these buses not insuraned? Is this a private bus or one of the whole fleet?
Exclusive Limited Offer!!! Own A Piece of History!!!
Historic 1993 International Blue Bird Orleans Parish Schools Bus #93-97
This New Orleans Public School Bus is a 1993 International Blue Bird with 147,797 miles.

Only 147,797 Original Owner Miles. Buyer is responsible for shipping/delivery. This bus is sold "as is". No warranty or guaranty is expressed or implied. Clear title will be provided. Because the Orleans Parish School District is a public entity, your purchase price less salvage value of the bus may qualify as a charitable contribution! Check with your tax advisor.
