Built for city of Houston MTA and MYC, 104 units made in 1998/1999, about the only 45 ft bus they made.  New Flyer is still in business.

That "Unimog" type is built by Stewart and Stevenson-all American built. Mechanical Cat 3116, Allison MD3070 (extra deep low). Would make an awesome off road camper. I'd buy it if I had space for it. About the only way to register it is if it is an RV. Good Luck, TomC

Why not trying a call to New Flyer Parts a phone call to check the V.I.N. and parts availability?
