Hi I am new to the forum

[Ed Hackenbruch]

I don't have an exact figure for each model, but i think that i have seen at least 2 or 3 MCI 2s.

[lostagain]

I don't know how many were built, but when I was driving for Brewster's in the '70s, we had MC1s, 2s and 3s. All built in the late fifties early sixties, before the MC5s.

   Our MC-2 serial number 611 bus was sold in 1961 to Vancouver Island Coach Lines. It was a tour bus that drove the island to places like Nanaimo and Gold River. I  have pictures with those places on the destination sign in this photo album. The unit number on the bus is 601 (still on the hinge by the door of the bus). 46 MC-2 were built in 1961. There is a web site Angelfire that shows history and serial numbers for Motor Coach Industries. In late 70's the bus was converted for camping by a doctor in Fort Saint John, British Columbia. In 2000 a friend of his bought it in Wetaskiwin, Alberta and that is who we bought if from in September 2015. It is nice to know the history or our bus.

I would vote for a mechanical 6V-92 at about 300 hp, sure would make a nice puppy.

ps, tired of the fancy coach, so thinking about another bus, MC5 would do.

I find more happiness with my memories with the MC7 than with this pretty coach, actually it's the people. I had enough of the owners that are clueless but think they are so bright, a bunch of phony jerks who think they are better & smarter.  Should add that most folks are good level headed, but enough are mechanical & technical losers. 
After 8 yrs I have had enough.
Hope to make Arcada again this year.

Am told the chassis after the mc7do not have the structure to handle the weight.
The base 12V-71 is in the 3,500 lb area. Have played those games, best setup, 8V-92 9200 injectors turbo from a 6V-92 450 hp @ 1800 generator, was wild.
The fancy ism500 is 18 mph slower on my mountain test
No joy with a store bought,  the home brew is more satisfying.

 Also wanted to mention that the MC7 is about 2500 pounds heavier than the four travel with  the 500 Cummins the 8V 92 will run 18 miles an hour faster on afton mountain I-64 westbound going up to the hundred mile marker.
