Title: Interesting Bus Find-BUT WHAT IS IT?
Post by: pabusnut on August 30, 2017, 01:57:19 PM

Ok, so while trolling the local Craigslist yesterday while it was raining, I found this bus.
But, I don't recognize it, and although it appears to have a clutch, and gearshift, I don't see a radiator or engine compartment.

Could this possibly be an old trolley bus?

Not a trolley bus... they'd be electric with no gearshift and they'd have a pantograph.

Wonder if this may be an old Flex? The old Flex Scoops had these same gigantic fans in the back.!!! I think a person would really have to believe in miracles to tackle restoring this thing !!!

It is an ACF Brill transit bus. Engine is flat under floor. Hall Scott engine. Similiar to IC41 in underfloor layout.
They must be on crack...$5000. lol.

If I didn't already have so much "yard art", I would be interested, but maybe a couple hundred, not 5k. Besides, I have my eyes on a junk Fitzjohn.

Heck, I have seen running you drive it way for (How far I do not Know) $2,500 4104's and 4106's. This person would be lucky if someone would come and get it for free. My opion and you know what that is worth.

Thank for posting that and all of that eye candy too Cheesie. At first glance I thought it was a pre WWII GM.
