- Ours is the second bus. With the ratty roof A/Cs lol.
This was out in the high desert of Southern California, in Phelan, Ca (pronounced "faylun", but often confused with the much less common double "e" version of the name "Pheelan", pronounced "feelun"). We are primarily a Crown Coach group, but also Gilligs, and really buses in general :)
that #13 is bad ass i would love to have a crown like that some day
Gwenzdaddy : That 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engine sounds awesome doesn't it???.
Now, THIS is how a REAL bus should sound like!
A real bus sounds like a scania l94ub wright solar which actually has a lot of power unlike them which sound like it but at the slow speed there moving at i dont think so
@@cam43002 no
@@cam43002 First of all, no. That bus sounds like shit.
Second of all, most of these buses have ten-speeds. I guess because a Lonestar is slower than Durastar that the Durastar has a more powerful engine, right?
@@WeatherxCalipha I would guess the Lonestar would be more powerful since it's heavier, but...it's heavier so it would be slower, yes.
crown supercoach 2is my favorite school bus, just wish they made those in a 13 speed like the originals
Last one was definitely straight piped.
I love ❤️ how bus #13 sounds!!
Oh yes, that is a popular one! 671 Detroit Diesel with NO muffler! It's a ten speed but he didn't know better than to skip gears. It sounds even better when you use all the gears!
realvanman1 wow 😮! I never knew it had NO muffler! Just wow! Anyway, cool 😎!
Haha, well, they came with mufflers, but that particular fellow has a strong love affair with the song sung by a Detroit, so he replaced it with a strait pipe. Enjoy the music! ;)
realvanman1 sure will! Thanks!
Still love this video!
I would love to be part of something like that with my MCI MC9
The first 2 white ones make me think of one bus that Compton College had. It sounded like a diesel truck.
Rubber Duck: looks like we got us a convey.
Detroit Diesel Series 71 and 92 sound the best
My School District, San Dieguito in North San Diego County had about 25 Crowns aged early 60's to early 80's
5 were Long wheelbase models with 10spd trans and were the newest of the fleet.
ALL were manual trans.
The school bus & motorcoach version of the Detroit Diesel Series 92 engine.
Highway sounds of the 80s & 90s. ☺
Modern school & motorcoach bus engines are out of their league.
jfs1988 much older 1970s on back
Cool, those buses look awesome!
damn 13 sounds so good
Yeah, and the black Diesel smoke is so awesome 😋👍😄
bus 13 sounds like a gasoline bus 😂
Idk why but 13's the smoke make it look bad *bell* for some reason.
Well at least he has a hotel room already.
is that al jennings in bus 13?
Yes. Or, at least it was his bus. I believe it has since been sold.
:O hes a boss
Al Jolson
She's on her way back to Alabama.
I didn’t know how to pronounce it either so for the longest time I just pronounced Phelan as “Felon.” 😆
0:42 Thats sounds a bit weired for a bus
That one is a Detroit, amidships, with NO muffler. :) The first one is a Detroit, amidships, WITH muffler.
The sound is glorious
Classic inline 6 sound. Great, powerful, racey sound.
That bus has a straight pipe
@ realvanman: just curious if your a Crown Coach collector?. What kind of price tag are the older Crown coaches bringing these days, I would love to convert a Crown Coach into a motor home, far superior quality than any motor home available today.
Kind regards, Eric Dee
Hi Eric, I have a couple. ;) The second one in this film is one of mine. Their prices vary widely based on condition, engine/trans, location, and how well advertised. Anywhere from a couple thousand to well more than ten or even fifteen. There is a Yahoo group called Crown Coach Junkies and a Facebook group by the same name. A lot of the guys there are preservationists, but most everyone appreciates a very nicely done conversion. There is also a Facebook Bus Conversion group. Lot of great people on these forums. Hope to see you there! Regards, Keith
realvanman1 : Hello Keith, thank you for your reply and invite I appreciate that and will most definitely check out those sites. A couple of questions for you Keith, I'am curious as to how well those Detroit Diesel engines handle long hours on the freeway as opposed to a 4 stroke engine. Two strokes are snappy and great for city stop and go traffic but, are they reliable for long distance cross country work???. Also what is the difference between the two axle and three axle busses, they appear to have the same seating capacity, so what is the theory behind the extra third axle???.
Kind regards, Eric Dee
Either engine, properly maintained, are fantastic machines. The three axle ones are five feet longer, 90 vs 78 passenger (typically). On the models with both rear axles driven, they have much better traction off road or on otherwise slippery roads. In later years they built two axle buses at 36, 38, and 40 foot.
That MCI has an 8V92
Close, 6v92.

Detroit baby
What was that last RV?
That one is also a Crown. It was one of two originally built for Hewlett Packard in the '60's, if I remember correctly.
No se de que es ese bicentenario de buses, buses viajeros, casas rodantes 😕😕😕
It's been a minute since I last saw this clip. Love that Crown Super II 6V92TA and that SICK Crown 13's 6-71 straight pipe. Sound identical to this fire truck: ruclips.net/video/kQJxSB2SFEU/видео.html
Oh yeah, LOVE the sweet sound of a Detroit powered firetruck! Around here they all had snappy shifting automatics. There are still a couple left I guess, but it's rare to see them. CA sucks.

They shouldn't smoke like that, and I'm not sure what the resolution ultimately ended up being. Might have had the wrong injectors (too big) for a naturally aspirated engine...
