Not a Scenicruiser but still a nice Bus.

Check with ABC I think they have a site in Florida but may only handle VanHool now.

ABC has a facility in FL, here's the address: 17469 W Colonial Dr, Oakland, FL 34787. They will have a selection of used equipment as well as new VanDrools.

There's also Central FL Bus Sales at 2101 E Main St. in Lakeland, FL that you might want to check out.

Good Luck, Peter, and keep doing your homework!

(Side note: Don't overlook coaches that have already been converted - could save you big $$ in the long run, plus you can use them right away, generally.)

FWIW & HTH. . .

Don't overlook the BlueBirds and Newells there are some nice ones on the market ready to roll and both are built like a tank

That is some of the best advice you will get.

Great! Looks like it is still seated. What is in it for power and trans?

I think he said it had an 8V-92TA and HT740-great combination! Good Luck, TomC

Yes, It is A 1989 MCI 96A3 with a 8V-92TA and HT740.
Made the 75 mile ride home without an Issue.

On the plus side, the air conditioning works excellent.

No strange rattles or Vibrations, plenty of power, runs nice and cool, good air pressure.

I will be needing to replace the batteries, all the tires, and the brakes could use some adjusting or maybe new pads.

For the price I paid for it I will have to say I got an excellent deal and great service on the purchase.

I purchased it From Horizon Coach Sales in Arcadia Florida they were very good to do business with.

And, yes the it is still a seated coach, will start the tear down tomorrow.

A new adventure begins, I will be asking many questions.
