Wat I meant was a 5spd manual, back in the day when Peter Pan was short of Buses they used Raitian Valley and it were these I guess they changed the tranny
This is what i mean about beautiful music. I love the sound of the 8v71n and 8v92 engines. Don't need an ipod just the sweet sounds of the engtine running. I'd never get off the bus
I remember one time I rode on the MCI 96/102A3 bus(owned by Plaza TravelsTransit) back around October of 2004; it had the 8V71 engine--which I thought was the 8V92TA engine...
Coming soon , this bus will be replaced by a 45-foot MCI with an ADA Lift . Due to Federal Mandates , this bus has to replaced in late-2011 . For those people that like this motorcoach , you can specify this bus for your charter .
You are correct about that. I should have been more specific about what I was talking about. When it comes to the Over The Road coaches (like this one), MCI has never built one with a V-Drive configuration. ALL MCI Classics were V-Drive configured transit coaches.
Take in mind that the Classics was oringnaly a GM bus based off the New look design. The Clasic was built to replace New Looks with transit companies that thought the RTS was too out the box. Also take in mind that GM built their buses with V-Drive configgurations. I do not think MCI ever designed a buses with a V-Drive configuration.
Reminds me of coaches 4706& 4707 at Brecksville Road Transit

This being a 1992 model, the powertrain is an 8V92TA (DDEC II?) with an Allison HT-748 ATEC?

Ok you know what, I am no more GOT DAMN GOOD!!!!! Excellent Recording! That transmission is singing!

Minor error: the transmission would be an Allison HT-740. MCI has never made a V-Drive bus (which the V-731 is designated for).
Other than that...this is pretty awesome!! Can I has one copy??!
