The 2002 model Blue Bird Ford conventional was a short lived bus produced in a partnership by Blue Bird and Ford. For some reason, the bus was abruptly discontinued in 2002, and never heard about again, making this one of the rarest buses to find. Apparently not many, if any at all, made it into actual service.

The standard, and only engine, was the Cummins ISB. It also introduced the first "Safety View" lens, which is now found on the Vision line.
