1996 Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor Pick up and Bidding on 1988 Wayne School Bus
I just seen a Reel school bus that was made in kate 1950s it was really nice to check out
I’m writing a book in which five characters are on mission driving one of these across the country. Any idea what size fuel tank?
Have you thought about looking for a piece of property and a nice small-medium town to drive the buses around like Belvidere IL for example?
It’s getting hot on bus 48
I’m a bus 48
Dang it’s to short as the bus
My kids going on the bus
hey don’t call me a shorty 3800
I absolutely loved those GMs with the Detroit. They were the best to drive only issues i ever had was little hard to get good heat in bitter cold and somw of those GMs liked to wander a bit on the road. My first bus was a 88 with a Ward body.
Conchasde sumaremos ponen sus malditos avisos imprudentes de mierdas.
I believe that after the chemical stockpile at the Bluegrass Army Depot has been destroyed that Madison County is disposing of a lot of the older buses that were there in case of an emergency. There were several Waynes and Blue Birds from the 1980s and early 90s parked at Clark Moores Middle School in Richmond for many years. There were also some Ward Senators there too if I recall correctly. Several Waynes have ended up at the scrap yard a few miles from my house in the last few months and I believe they came from the Madison County emergency fleet.
Love the doors and the functional door mechanism. By 1970 the one inside-one outside door action and the angled corner is super old fashioned.
Neat! I rode to school every day in the mid 80s on the GMC version of this. I remember ours was brand new and had the single red warning lights, no amber. I don't see the single versions very often in pics or videos.. im guessing most were retrofitted with the amber/red combos later. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Many memories!
The 1982 Chevy blue bird is my favorite school bus 😍
I'm from Montgomery County and remember riding these busses in the early 90's. They were substitute busses and used on field trips.
is there bus museum in Wisconsin
I've been to Madison County Schools and there fleet was awesome
This video update was a great idea. I’m glad Evelyn thought of it, and participated. Thank you, Evelyn!💕
Tommy I am looking at a 1971 International Harvest in Indiana. Save it!!! Carpenter with air brakes. It came from out west. No rust at all! Seats are out but everything else is there.
Absolutely amazing sounding school bus man will you please see if you can do a three or four hour ASMR video of you driving this thing and include engine start up for departure and take it through the city and on the interstate because that sounds really good. stay safe man. I hope all is well with you.
Good to see you back man i dream of owning a bus someday man i love your collection. Keep saving them when you can
I noticed the '74 Minnesota bus has a one-piece windshield. I worked for a school bus contractor in the 1970s, and we opted for the two-piece windshields for lower replacement costs when damaged.
Got to love rollsigns. My favourite buses have always been the 1983 GM TC40-102 Classics. The local fleet had a dozen, all with rollsigns originally and engines that sound like the one in your bus, the 6V71 in this case.That was the only year the local Classics were ordered with that engine and a rollsign. Their special and school special exposures were used interchangeably.
I would love to find an old Ford bus like that. Takes me back to my childhood
How many times does this guy say "were gonna go ahead"? Sometimes 3X per sentence. Really excessive.
GOOD MORNING BEST Tommy Retro CANADA ONTARIO MISSISSAUG TRANSIT RUclips VIDEO 🇨🇦🇨🇦🌿🍃🍃🍀🍀🍀🍀
Hi bluefire its me demonslayer53768
I am sure that if they discited to sell it again I am sure you will get it back eventually.
its always nice to save the old school buses from the 1970's 1980's 1990's but some times bids never work out but its nice to convert School buses back to actual School buses for preserve uses only.
Glad to see you back I would love to see more videos of these buses and more videos in general. Was really missing the Retro content.
I thought that you had an RTS
Hey there. I know that you get thousands of emails from your bus fans. I am also one of them. I love Carpenter buses. Special School District was a repeat customer of Carpenter school buses. They bought their first set in I think the early 1960s. I think some of the jobs that bus 540 may have could be a way to get donations. You guys are some of the very few non profit organizations that also helps out another non profit organization. If we had more of these, this country would be in much better shape.
Looking for a Chevy or GMC with the 67-72 C60-C6500 front end style.
Would love if you could film your restorations
Can you do a full video about your school busses and talk about them just asking my friend .. keep up the good work my friend 👍 😊
Glad to see an update and hear everything is going so well! These classic school buses are fantastic.
Great to see the update looking forward to seeing more 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
There is a video on You Tube of a ride along on the 540 in the area around the Bus Museum. ruclips.net/video/yS4FWcvNULk/видео.htmlsi=jNDySgR3I1qwthcC 370 V8 with Allison Automatic
Very cool! 👍
Tommy, why don’t you add in a Thomas Ford B700 to your bus museum?
Great bus. Looks like a bus loop with all the buses lined up for school ending for the day
We have some old abandoned buses up in my area. The main 2 I remember are a 56 Ford Superior and a 70ish Ford Wayne. The 56 us 100% abandoned, property and all, and the 70 is just neglected. Both were in service locally to me from what I can see. I hope to eventually buy and restore them. When and if it ever happens I'd be delighted to have them be shown off at your guy's museum.
Any plans for more Transit bus acquisitions?
Working on getting an RTS right now.
@TommyRetro Sweet! I work at Madison County Transit/Agency For Community Transit(Southern Illinois) and I am responsible for our fuel inventory (Diesel and 87 Gasoline), and (DEF). As well as billing out our accident estimates. IDOT Safety Lane inspections. And other fleet related duties. I like School Buses too and that's what originally got me into buses. I see you have a beautiful Fish bowl too! We had some of those around here before MCT existed in 1980, and started purchasing heavy duty buses in 1991 with our Orion II's. Bi-State now know as St. Louis Metro and Bi-State operated Fishbowls, and Flixables around here before MCT got heavy duty buses in the 90s! We now have a fleet of 16 2010 Gillig BRT 40's (Equipped with the Cummins ISL9/Voith transmission) , 12 2012 Gillig BRT 40's (Equipped with the Cummins ISL9/Allison B400R), 42 2020 Gillig BRT 29's (Equipped with the Cummins L9/Allison B3400 xFE ), as well as well as 13 2017 Ford E-450 25' Turtletop Oddessy's with the 6.8 V10. And 26 Para transit, 2019 Ford E-450 Turtletop Oddessy's also with the 6.8L V10. Up till mid to late 2012 we had 1997 New Flyer D40LF's with the DD50/Allison B400R, and 1998 New Flyer D30LF's with the C8.3/B300R! A few are still around last I checked Lorenz Bus Service in MN still operates one or two of our D40LF's. Those were tanks! The current 2010s are doing well with despite being emissions motors. A few have upwards of 625k on them!
We know a thing or two about the Minnesota spec'd windows here in Alton, IL down state from you. Our school bus contractor Illinois Central School Bus has some Minnesota Central Locations, and we get MN buses every now and then and same for Wisconsin have the first window double-paned.
I love it 😊
Cool thanks and new subscribers from Rensselaer Indiana and longer video
Let me know if you’re also interested in purchasing a couple more buses. I got a local Catholic school that has a few buses that they would like to get rid of two of them are bluebirds.T 2000 from 1996 with the 16 valve Cummins one other bus is a 1988 to 89 international Thomas with a DTA 360 high clearance roof and they also have a few 90s internationals with the 7.3 power stroke one’s Thomas regular clearance and the other ones a mid bus
Would definitely be interested in the S-series Thomas, se don’t have too many Thomas buses.
Good to get an update! hello Evelyn! and Tommy!
Hey Tommy, reach out to me if you’re interested in a Ford F 700 1970 model Gaser bucket truck for parts for the school buses
If you be able to acquire a type-a bus or school van, that would be great!
