A 1978 Carpenter conventional on the Ford B-Series chassis & cowl that has been sitting on a lot in Virginia for many years.

This bus likely has the 331 or 391 V8 engines, the last year that Ford had produced the FT engines (a heavier-duty version of the FE V8 engines intended for use in Medium-Duty trucks) before Ford had discontinued the FT engines and began utilizing the 370 and 429 V8 gasoline engines from the 385 architecture in their Medium-Duty trucks starting in 1979.

I would not mind having this bus, provided I was ever able to get it up and running.
