Are we sure Kyle didn't already buy this one?  It looks like the rest of the ones in his profile page!   :D  I'm guessing the 3 extra zero's are to cover the cost of replacing the lawn under it! ;)

Some body missed the main thing about me & scenicruisers, & that is they need to be free!, Or really cheap, like me 8)

Besides, even if that one was free, I don't think I could get it past the boss right now. . . .  :(

Come on Kyle,
Get one of those beauties on the road so we can enjoy the fruits of your free purchases at our rallies and see you & family enjoy them also.  I hope not to be too long myself.  I have nothing to talk about but I'm getting there.  If your roadworthy cruiser is self sufficient your good to go.

Oh, gosh --  how many of us qualify because it's a "senior" cruiser?  (I wonder if this is creative marketing, does it refer to the coach or prospective new owner?)

Right now, I think Nancy is enjoying them sinse she doesn't have to see them.

Gary, think about how much work your's needed. Now think about how much more work a free bus (that is older) is gonna need . . . :o

I put a call in to find out the serial number. They have it listed for a friend. Looks similar to one I looked at in upstate NY in 97. Was still seated, but then sold a couple of times since then. Once on ebay. Interior has since been removed. Will post serial number upon receipt. Probably not the same one, but you never know.

ok

spoke to owner today. Very nice older man. Has had bus for over twenty years. He bought it from Guiton Charters in Oakland, CA. Serial is PD4501-476. Rebuilt 8V71, and 10 speed road ranger. Older partial conversion. Needs finished. Original restroom removed. Half floor lowered. I think he would be easy to deal with. Not the bus from NY, that I thought it may be. Here's the GH history for 476:

PD4501-476 Southeastern Greyhound Lines M-161
Southeastern Greyhound Lines M-188
Central Southwestern C-1319
Central Greyhound Lines 1319

To remove any pressure and to keep Kyle from forming cold sweats, I modified the title.

I didn't catch that the first time. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I found it funny.

Starting to find that this Scenicruiser stuff is contagious.

Hey, 8) 8) 8)

When people post a link to a photo, It would help if it were in a public place.
I am too lazy/tired right now to find my yahoo login just to look at a picture....

Don't worry.. I didn't need to see it anyway... Just Kidding guys....

That's a long fishing line too...... ::) ::) ::)

468 ("StraightGate") used to be  in Pontiac, Illinois about 50 miles from me. Can't believe it ended up in Las Vegas. Apparently, Greg Cox has it now. His post says he would  take $8500. He is moving to Fla. I passed on that bus over ten years ago for $6500! The other photos are 372 out of Tulsa, it now has a good home with AAron Veale. These things just keep popping up! It's getting hard to keep up.
