Help save this PD-4903 from the scrap yard!

We are going to launch a "gofundme" crowd funding page tomorrow to help save this bus! Every little bit helps!

We are going to give a "I helped save the Black Buffalo!" T-shirt to everyone that donates over $40!

The Black Buffalo is PD4104-354.....

Might the keepers of the historical info tell us all about the classic coach we are saving?

It is an 8v71n powered, 4 speed Spicer trans...she runs beautifully...
Just needs to be gone through and made right...after it is saved from the chopper!

I believe it to be a 1969... I bet by later today one of the folks that has the database will chime in with its known history.....

As ugly as that bus is there is no saving it

Purplewillie · September 22, 2013, 09:29:17 AM

I did indeed...of course....
Swipe on this phone sometimes uses items you have used before...when you don't want it to.....kind of annoying...but what a cool piece of software...

PD-4903-354 from GMC to Okanogan Valley Lines # 71

There are many other 49 series worth saving than this one, at least find a 05 version without being all painted.

The world has enough aluminum siding.....

Not enough old classic buses...

That's why I'm trying to save this one...seems quite the waste to let them shred it...a good running machine with a nicely working air system...

If this model works...I'm going to try the same idea to save an old airliner....like a 727...

What are your plans for that bus if you do get enough donations to buy it? Will it continue to just sit parked, like it currently is? I would need a lot more information before I would donate. If you are trying to buy it for your own use, why would you expect others to spend their money on it? I'm confused about the whole deal!!!

Good luck, Sam
