Title: Montgomery, Alabama area shop for 4104 repair
Post by: siberyd on February 24, 2015, 02:08:11 PM
The new owners of CSS-476,, A 1960 PD 4104 that starred in both Shawshank Redemption and Selma.
Are looking for a shop in the Montgomery, Alabama area that can work on their coach. Anyone out there have an idea of where to refer them to?

Thanks to everyone for your emails.

I forwarded the information to the new owners, the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture at Alabama State University in Montgomery, AL.

Hey Jon

Do you ever get sale price info on these transactions? As a seated 04 owner I would love to know what that bus sold for. I keep close tabs on all 4501 prices, as people often ask what things are worth. In my opinion, recent sale prices are at least somewhere to start with for a value. Or maybe I'll cry, as I missed a smoking deal! Feel free to PM me if you prefer not to discuss on line. Take care

Tom

Tom,

Sometimes people will share the price they pay in their bus transactions. I have seen buses go for unique amounts. Anything fromun free to 25k. I will inquire how much the bus went for and see if I get a response. I do know that there were atleast 2 different people that wanted that coach. The non-winner went and bought a seated coach that will be painted in Greyhound colors. Seems the movie Shawshank Redemption was filmed in his town. He already bought the Ford bus from the opening credits.

I filled the University's email box with enough bus stuff to help them with any endeavor.

National Bus Trader Magazine has a price list in the back every quarter. It gives the going price for seated coaches including 4104's.
