ARE WE CRAZY ,or What...//

Years ago I drove tour busses in Yellowstone National Park. WE had a fleet of 25 thirty five feet 1975-6 MCI MC-5Bs there is one still in service we got to ride in on our Transportation Reunion over labor Day weekend It will be sold at a later date. However, 6 years ago another bus was sold and bought by former drivers who had let it set for 6 years after delivery to their NE OHIO home They are interested in selling, but the NOT running thing is a big concern for us.. Are we nuts or what. I checked about towing it to a shop to drain fluids, and put on new tires, and get the engine started and have insurance lined up, but still, the "ran when parked" thing still bothers us ((((Are we nuts)))) Input needed plz

I am all for it, Do it!

The altitude finally got to you guys.:p

This is not your first bus so you know what you are in for .... so if you feel that the price reflects the risk then do it. If not then pass!

Let us know what you decide and post a pic or two.

If i had more land, i would have a bus collection.

Se own 35 cars, 6 Airstreams, aBigfoot camper, and the bus. And all are stored indoors. Where does it end. The owner of said MC-5B still has the government “Certificate to Obtain Title”. Its up to her what she does and how serious is desire to sell

I’ve been to the Cbus compound and had the tour. Didn’t have to pay an admission and got free 50 amp to boot. Their collection is amazing and all under roof. Best hosts in CO.

I firmly believe that I'm one of the few sane people and that everyone else make up the crazy group... Any why shouldn't I get different outcomes from my same actions?? Why???

Cbus is my Hero!

Cbus is an awesome abbreviation nickname, how do i get one of those?
1) Years of bus ownership
2) Hours of wrenching on a bus
3) # of injectors and spark plugs
4) Suggestions?

3) PNewb

http://forum.prevostownersgroup.com/...id=18438&stc=1This is the bus of desire. 1975 MCI 5b. Bus 505/out of 25. This one sold to current owners 6 yrs sgo. Theyre overwhelmed.

Awesome! that button on the front opens the door correct?

Yep. We put bicycle locks thru the “ punch button” ,shaft hole so no one could open door when we parked. Slamming door most often got the hand opener inside to lock door. . Especially while “on tour” as we said. Prior to deregulation of transportation, we also did long distance charter work anywhere a group wanted to go besides “regular runs” within yellowstone. Once with a group of Australians, we pulled up to the entrance to Zion, and the ranger gave a quizzical look, and asked me if i was lost, entering Zion not Yellowstone. My group was in uproar laighing

Why is it so difficult to add a file photo

Does that bus have the air driven Windshield Wipers?

You have to hold your mouth just right...

Yes, this era of coach has air operated wipers

Very Cool! :cool:

I can see why you would want this. That would be a great addition to your collection.

Very cool old bus! Sometimes the joy of "saving" something is worth way more than the actual value.
