This would have tobe a 5C, wouldnt it? Lvmci...
The mountain view windows above are pretty cool
Ex Holland America Gray Line and would have had a good maintenance history. From the looks of that new shop and yard Vandersnick is coming up in the world.
We had one like that at Brewster's. Very nice. 5Cs are a very tight bus. Goes really nicely with the 6V92/4 speed Allison. The sky-view windows will be hard to keep from leaking, and they are hot in the summer. Would make a great shell for a conversion.

And at $15,000, I suspect that it will be.
Indeed it looks sharp. I like the seating configuration.
15 grand is not bad the engine conversion with the transmission could cost you that much alone.I just threw it out for lookers I have no interest in the bus

Absolutely agree, it's just that the market is totally in the tank -- or have seated coaches held their value better?
Both seated and and conversion buses are in the tank everyday more and more hit the market as the entertainers and passengers coaches operators up grade to newer buses I see where Salt Lake is going to auction of a bunch of MCI J and E model replacing those with hybrid model from MCI
With what I know - or rather don't know - of the electronics and control systems of the newer buses now coming into the secondary market I would rather have a nice, low miles MC-5C with a great engine re-power and auto tranny. For one thing, I don't want a 45 ft bus, but beyond that I can actually fix about anything on a 5C, so far at least...
