    I love this coach I use to drive MCI for Shortline and this one is really nice. I have had several conversions none have been as nice as this one and I have bought some new coach's that did not have the style or regal appearance that this one does. I bet many people have tried to buy it. That is one special coach and I bet you could never find one better. I use to drive a V6 in several of the MCI buses that I drove for Shortline I love the V6 it had a lot of power and did not suck the diesel down like some the v8 ones did. Great job on the conversion if you did this yourself you need to start doing it for others and getting paid for it this one is great.

      That is really awesome that you were a MCI driver for a career :) Thank you, and yes this coach left California and is now living in Florida. I just uploaded a new video of a truly remarkable MCI coach... Be sure to check it out and let me know what your think :) ruclips.net/video/CZxaKVXuSK4/видео.html

    I drove commercial tour bus and got a new '83 MC9 just before Christmas that year. It was beautiful, chrome wheel covers, jake brake, air step, high end interior...Travelled all over NA for two years then it was traded off...for years I've wondered were it is now...hope it ended up like this one. Coaches of this age typically have over 3 million miles on them..imagine if they could tell the stories of all the places and people they've seen.

      1983 was a strike year at Greyhound and believe it is the only year that they didn't buy new buses. I've seen the bus rosters from the 80's and 90's and plenty 80, 81, 82 and 84 MC9s but not a single 83.
