If I'm correct, there was only one completed Chancellor RE... compared to about 3 Wayne RD9000's. Maybe its just me, but it also appears that all of the Carpenter badges has been stripped from the bus. It has been repainted though.

Like I commented on the post on facebook...its crazy how many design details carpenter borrowed from wayne after they were purchased.
What I have been able to notice is:
-Entrance door
-Driver's control panel..main panel is identical, although switches are carpenter toggle style
-Vents below driver's window
Anything else I'm missing?

This is the epitome of Carpenter. I wish I had money to spend!

Maybe I can use the money out of my college fund since the State of Louisiana will pay for my college tuition? Nah lol.

Exactly my reaction!!!!!!! Cant believe this bus finally surfaced. I remember these were supposed to be flat floors right?

To the average person, is that bus really worth $23k? To us all, perhaps , but how would it compare to, say, an AARE with similar specs?

10k at best is what it should be worth, considering it's a one-off bus.

The origonal plans were to have full air suspension and flat floor I believe.

Do the world a favor and bring back GMC and Ford conventional chassis......
