Title: Flxible "Buffalo"
Post by: windtrader on September 08, 2022, 10:06:22 AM
A friend of mine saw this north of San Francisco. I've never seen this style of Flxible, rare I assume.

That's an impressive FLXIBLE. I'm sure it has a rich history and I'm sure the interior is just as impressive.

Well being that it's not a GM type V drive, any number of better modern engines and transmissions are likely now powering those.

Space is limited because like a Eagle they have a drop box and are 35 ft buses not much space in the engine compartment being 35 ft the 8.2 and L 10 Cummins fit nicely,back in the days mechanics had names for the JT (just trash) the JS was (just $#!%)

Don the Blinkens in Granite Bay by the entrance to the lake had one in Dark green same model for 20 years but sold it about 3 years ago. They owned a bunch of Wendy's local and some in other states and used it to travel in.
