Someone spent a lot of time, effort, and money doing the motor home
conversion on that bus. It also has a "roof raise" which makes the interior
height about 7'6". More money and time.
Looks like it's been setting a while from the moss accumulation [more than
2 days in the land of rain and wet].
That bus takes a Detroit Diesel, either a 6V71 or a 6V92, setting sideways
at the rear AND tilted with a special oil pan to allow for the tilt, so you
can't "just drop in a Frightliner engine, sorry. Replacement engine,
running takeout, would cost you in the $6K to $12K range, Plus labor to
install. Overhaul out of frame would run easily in the $8K to $25K range,
if you can find a Detroit trained mechanic and shop to do it for you.
Tow would be on a HEAVY haul Landoll Lowboy trailer at the usual rate of
$500 per hour, timed from the haulers dock, while it's being loaded, to
your point of delivery, and back to haulers dock. [That ain't a cheap tow]
So, free is the right price, or, on reflection, a lot to high.

All he needs is to pop a Frieght liner engine in and this would be able to
haul all manner of goodies back to Okie Akers. Probably not a filth
wheeler trailer, but something could bolt on with a hitch. Living
arrangements, travel to Auto Traitor sales calls, and someplace safe from
Regina and the kids

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large
or petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
