I just looked at a finished MC-8 this weekend while at a Bus Nuts Rally and he really wished he had raised his roofline. The lack of headroom makes his feel quite cramped. Also, be sure to use an MC-9 Radiator to prevent the MC-8's overheating Problems.... Are you going to move away from the 2-stroke Detroit for more reliability? Check the date code on those tires too! dont let them get over 7 years old!!
@wpmacyt If one behaves themselves with speed, I am able to get 11mpg with this coach. If driven over 70mph it goes down to 8mpg, but does awesome at 65. Thanks for watching and commenting
Very nice bus! I want one like that. Do you know how much it could cost to rebuild a 8v71, and the tranny? Most busses like this for sale I,m thinking needs engine and or tranny rebuilds.

Nice job, paint scheme isn't my taste, but very nice otherwise. Wish I had the skills to convert my own, but alas I had to buy mine. Take a look. :)

@Yankee802 Bus still has the commercial paint job. Outside work is to be done later

Traveling by Greyhound is more stressful than driving, flying, and railroad.
