Built for city of Houston MTA and MYC, 104 units made in 1998/1999, about the only 45 ft bus they made.  New Flyer is still in business.

[luvrbus]

Yep you got it Tim who needs buses when your wife and son buys military Humvee lol it's up to 4 of those things now,my time to buy now 2 of those buses are supposed to have new engines  
My only salvation on the next 2 Humvee is hoping Home Land Security doesn't approve the sale so pray for me buddy

That "Unimog" type is built by Stewart and Stevenson-all American built. Mechanical Cat 3116, Allison MD3070 (extra deep low). Would make an awesome off road camper. I'd buy it if I had space for it. About the only way to register it is if it is an RV. Good Luck, TomC

looks like a D50 to me..

Some of the last batch was purchased by someone who now has them listed for 50k each.. (But hasn't sold yet, surprising really lol)

[luvrbus]

My source in Houston says some are 330 HP DD Series 50 with ZF transmissions 3 are series 60 with B500 430/470 HP with 4:56 rear gears 1 of the series 60 is a CNG engine I don't want anything to do with a CNG engine

Why not trying a call to New Flyer Parts a phone call to check the V.I.N. and parts availability?
