Is this a real bus? Wiki says so. Shes a biggun.

I saw an MCI-6 for sale on Ebay one time. It was different as I recall (the conversion, not the bus). I'm sure there are a few others here that will remember them with greater detail than this old guy.

Barrett/Jackson sold number 53 in 2016 at the Scottsdale auction for 44k that Fandango pink was the worst color I ever saw on a bus

Unless you equip with wheel conversion adapters, the MC-6 used 12R-24.5 that are just about impossible to find now. Most convert the large diameter wheel nuts to conventional truck/bus types to accept 11R-24.5 tires. Good Luck, TomC

It not only the 12rx24 the bolt pattern on the hub don't match any wheel made today

Puke. Not to mention the HUGE white lettering on the tires. Gawdy.

Don't you love the pink 8v92

Scott & Heather · February 22, 2018, 07:31:57 PM

Blech. What is wrong with someone's grey matter that would lead them to paint an 8v92 pink. It's not even "breast cancer awareness" pink...it's a nasty nail polish pink. Yuck.

I think Gary Bennett has a MCI6 for sale in LV, lvmci.

Looks like something Liberace would have had if he ever had a bus. Even the engine is pink? Wonder what it looks like inside? Oh well to each his or her own.
Granted, Elvis liked to give people pink CADILLACS but this is different as one observed.

Why not try pink? They leak like a sieve in green.😄

luvrbus · February 23, 2018, 05:54:08 AM

LOL that pink one didn't leak any oil for sure it was spotless

I think it looks like a version of Magenta rather than Pink, at least as it looks on screen. In contrast with the black and shiny metal, it's not that bad. The question is, do we have the guts to paint our coaches that color?
