1967 40' MCI?

[Lin]

I am buying some parts from the family of a guy that started/stopped a conversion about 15-20 years ago.  They do not have the bus, but say it was a 1967 40' Greyhound MCI.  I am guessing it would have to have been an MC7, but I thought that they did not come out until 1968.  I know that Greyhound had 40' GM's in '67.  Also, does the MC7 have the same radiator set up as my 5a?

Lin -

Greyhound never bought any 40' Buffalos, they only bought some 35' 4107s.  Other than the Scenics, all of Greyhound's 40' vehicles have been MCIs.

MC-7s were built from 1968 thru 1973, and yes, the radiator set-up is the same as a 5A, altho they might have thicker cores.

Since it's the family of the guy, chances are they're mistaken on the year of the coach - happens often.

FWIW & HTH. . .
