He will gladly drive it here for a full inspection. We never looked at any of the RV side of things we only did bus maintenance on it here. Interior is incomplete but it’s a great start probably 80% if i had to guess. Mechanically it’s ready to hit the road. It needs to stretch its legs. Excellent but to complete the conversion on.

He bought a beautiful completed conversion mc-8 bus that was much more expensive than he’s selling this one for. He does not need 2 buses. One less project for him. - Авто та транспорт
Holy crap! Time sure does fly, I remember these back in the day. My father drove these and newer ones for Franciscan Lines back in the late 70s and early 80s. Miss those.
Mc9? Crusader II?

Nice presentation Scott.
That would be a perfect Turnkey for the person who wants a personally customized RV and doesn't have to rebuild it underneath. The expensive important stuff is done!
I wish, I wish, I wish.
If you touched it, i can't afford it. If you didn't touch it, i can't risk it.
👍👍
That's an underated comment there.
Someone's gping to get one heck of a sweet ride and it'll definitely be a safe one.
Plus they'll be able to customize the interior to fit their taste.
I sure wish I could afford to buy and own it.
It would be my full time abode.
Just gotta hit the Poweball, Mega Millions or even the Lotto.
Absolutely beautiful. I love the look of black paint against unpainted metal
One of the best riding buses, I worked on these and eagles back in the 70’s and 80’s at Trailways in Charlotte, my favorite MCI was the MCI-9
Remember your work on this one. Good series. Tons of work on this bad boy.
Thankyou for the last line in the description, first thing I was wondering, but not in the market, that was none of my business to ask.
Great looking bus😎! I would not believe the information he told you about it being Kevin’s bus from Nascar! It’s to old for a team to of used it for Kevin
I’ve seen pictures of it but that doesn’t mean anything either i guess. Allegedly when dale sr died and kevin got the ride he got this as his bus. That was the story that was told.
sweet looking ride wish I could afford but at my age its just a dream. good luck to who does purchase!!
Looks like one that Lance would love, Scott.....This is the best looking bus I've ever seen at your shop....
i think Lance is more into the original interior executive buses.
For being 50 years old that's a great unit with lots of up grades.
Maaaaan, I could totally go for this in the summer when my life settles down, but I'm sure such a gorgeous girl will have sold by then.
hope some gets it & has a lot of fun with it. keep the clips coming
That is a beautiful Bus!!
That's a gorgeous bus.
Awesome project for motivated individual. 😊
I would love a bus conversation. Unfortunately the wife does not. Could sell my 1 ton truck, and have enough $$$, to finish the conversation.
Thanks for posting!
Howdy,
Have you considered trading the wife? I might, lol.
No, just kidding on that there
@@c.i.m.1600 LOL, No way, she is to good to me!
Good looking bus
What a deal l'm going to dig up some mason jars. More later....
This is a great bus for someone.
You should let Stapleton 42 know he loves NASCAR history and owns a Newell bus owned by a racer
Its very nice. The down side is that his price is based on what you did and what he didn't, unless he got a really low price based on what was wrong. Just callin it as I see it...
All those new parts were expensive. He has way more into it than the sale price that’s for sure. So i don’t know what you are trying to say. A lot of money went in underneath.
@@BusGreaseMonkey My point is that his price is affected by the amount of work done. There is nothing wrong with the work or what you charged him. When he bought the bus if he overpaid based on the amount of work needed that would still affect the price he needs to get. No reflection on you or your skills rather math, unless he got a price that reflected all that the bus needed. I don't work for free and neither should you!
Most buses on the market still need all that stuff done so it’s got a leg up. Before or after those expenses will be factored in. This one did need about 2x the normal treatment but it’s ahead of the game vs it’s competition on missed maintenance intervals and new rubber. And the work wasn’t done at a fleet maintenance shop ;)
At least the buyer could be sure the Bus is mechanically sound. I know y’all did a ton of work on this bus. Sadly I’ll stay with my Dually and fifth wheel.
Apparently buses are crazy expensive right now as well
Good video, but you should’ve given more time to the cockpit…where the buyer is likely to spend much time.
Scott:
I'm looking for a NON-converted charter bus, regardless of the age, witj a 10 speed manual Spicer transmission.. Do you think there's one out there?
Thanks!
4 speed easy to find. 10 speed seated coach probably not very easy.
Nice bus
Could you report them to the DOT so they would loose their permit to do DOT's.
Ahhhh! Already maintained by Bus Grease Monkey. Ahhhh.. bring it in for inspection! THESE are recipise for SUCCESS!.
Didn't you show a bus where a car goes inside it ? What is the progress on that build ?
What would this bus be selling for??? Asking form Toronto. Canada
Hey Tyler, Do you need a new bus !! lol
Very interesting..
I'd say the asking price is reasonable.
I would not use copper pipework in a bus when there are plastic alternatives that cope better with frost.
We used pex in our bus. It’s much better for freezing i agree. Lots of rv’s do have copper though.
Agree. Liberty, Marathon, Newell, etc...all still use copper. I guess it's a visual quality thing of using the best? Pex is much better. We used it for our back porch that has our washer and dryer. Underside of the porch is open and unheated leading into our basement. It's unheated and the pex works great in the winter.
..I guess the kids can get student loans.....
Howdy,
Sounds like a good plan to me 👍
Don't suppose he'd trade me 😅
My heads dreaming things right now that my pocketbook just can’t support.
My whole life story right there…
Any idea how much
It’s listed in the description
@@BusGreaseMonkey ok thanks I just figured out how to do that lol sorry
Looks like the standard classic car resto project situation. People get overwhelmed / over cost and give up and sell.
More like your in the middle of a restoration process and you go to the auction and find the same vehicle already finished for 2x the price and you say yes please then come home an owner of two and wish to sell the 1st one and enjoy the second one as it is. Easy button press with money.
@@BusGreaseMonkey Yes it is!
Buy - class a motorhomes under $50 000
Howdy,
I think it'd be hard to find a Class A diesel pusher, unless it needs work or unless you're talking about a sticks and staples Class A?
I've seen both in accidents and the sticks and staples normally don't fair as well as coach based ones
I'd rather go older, even much older coach based for long term durability and safety.
Not trying to be argumentative with y'all, just my humble opinion.
Yeah, those Consumer gas Class-A's are disposable, good for about 20 years / 150K before they start falling apart.
Sticks and staples motorhomes fall apart when the wind blows on them. A ten year old one a fart in the bathroom literally might blow the doors off. Call an rv dealer that sells them and try to schedule warranty service for something. Every single one sold is waiting on something warranty related to be fixed at any given time. Once the warranty is gone they get sold cheap but rightfully so. They can look nice, have nice features. They are made for 1-2 short trips a year. Full time they don’t hold up and please never call them a bus ;)
nowadays a car costs 50 grand. try buying a diesel pickup. i would not be found dead in a used sticks and staples motorhome for under 50 grand. then again if you buy one, you just might.... I just did a search here in the atlanta area. found 2, a 99 and a 2004. the beaver looked pretty decent. but definitely not nearly as cool as a MCI.
Way over priced for what it is. $25k would be fair.
Brand new tires, airbags, radius rod bushings, wheel bearings, shocks, that’s 25k of parts and maintenance. 10k diesel generator, 3 roof airs with heat strips, automatic trans, awning and more? 25k it is not.
@@BusGreaseMonkey quick search online of MCI Conversions beg to differ. There a plenty of Beautiful MCI bus conversions that are between $60 - $80k that make this bus look look like a $25K bus.
We bought a 7 with a bad engine for 17k but it still needs tires, airbags, and all the fun stuff plus it’s a dated interior, no diesel generator etc. yes you can but cheaper but your after purchase expenses are double your purchase price.
And I’m not even saying i don’t think it’s high priced. I never recommend buying a bus doing all the maintenance then trying to sell it. That is a money loosing proposition. But most conversions will need or buyers will want a kitchen remodel and bathroom upgrade. This is ready for that with nothing hidden in those area. He’s selling at a big loss at his asking price. I personally think 49500 is high, 40-45k is a good deal and if it sells for anything under 40k is a great deal. Saying it’s worth 25k is ignorant.
I'm sorry, but all y'all need to be realistic, considering today's prices, especially knowing that it's sure to be very mechanically sound. My apologies, no offense, just my humble opinion.
God bless
Any idea of the mileage on it?
No odometer and hubometers i’d never trust. I’m not sure of it’s original service life story. If it was in revenue service probably over 1 million is usually a good guess.
