If you really want something different in a bus conversion, go for a mid-1960's Leyland "Atlantean" double-decker bus! There were quite a few built with turbo-charged 680 c.i. engines for long-distance inter-city service. They had a top speed approaching 90 mph.
I grew up in the town of Leyland and saw a lot of them being tested. I worked for Norton motorcycles for a couple of years before we emigrated. It was interesting riding my test Norton at 80 on the freeway and being passed by a double-decker. The slipstream was really rough.
