This is one of the nicest older coaches yet! I like the very functional, limited bells & whistles. That coach will last a really long time with the Series 60 & high quality build!
I love the design. I just bought 1971 MCI MC-7. It's a big learning curve for me. I've never had a diesel before. She needs some up dating. Bought her to transform her into an elegant Gypsy Vardo in honor of my Hungarian grandmother.
Surprised you looked at an older home conversion. Not bad for the money. The work is excellent. MCI, Allison, Detroit all serviceable today. 45 is huge. Be good live aboard.
That's a really nice coach conversion. Like the liberties and marathons and King airs have been done to death they're all the same. But high quality custom builds like these are something special, especially with regard the quality of the finish. Many conversations are very amateurish and ad-hoc looking. But this guy is modest - he created something that actually is in the league is high end motor gives and could stand proud against any of the million dollar motorhome builders.
All buses should be priced for the working man not just the elite or rich. Always been a dream of mine to have a MCI RV converted coach trouble is Australia isnt quite big enought to justify a coach for full time living
Love it All be visiting Wayne on Monday to see one of his buses great guy on phone thank you Andrew would’ve not known about him if not for your videos
What a total DIY Rube Goldberg type of bus. It does look homey, but it doesn't have much value because it's a home built. Very functional looking though. Good value if you don't care about aesthetics.
MCI unfortunately doesn’t get a lot of love with people in the conversion market, it never has but what folks lose track of is that the MCI 102 was one of the most popular coaches in the seated markets. There’s a lot to be said for a vehicle that is completely mechanical and not automated. If someone could pick this coach up for around $60,000, you would spend about 20-25K in new tires, bushings, brakes, air bags, etc another 20,000 to revamp the interior with new couches, cabinet tops, backsplash, flooring, electronics, lighting etc and then get a wrap for around $10,000, you’re into a coach that has a ton of life left. The late and legendary Kirwin Elmers (owner of Custom Coach Corporation) was a huge believer in the conversion of MCI coaches and there were a number of coaches that country & RnRoll entertainers used from MCI. Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitter, Mandrell sisters.
so spend $60K just to spend more on a update and needed equipment makes no sense being in this for $100k on a out dated coach. It would be much smarter to look for a quality Newell of that year or newer for a little bit more and have a much better build quality with a great reputation. Home built does not convey value
@@markdavidson9699 the fact that it is the DL3 platform with 77000 miles on it makes it a steal. If you can do some of the mechanical and interior work and it's a superior deal. That's a 3 million mile coach easy, just like MCI used to make 'em. Value added on just that by itself.
77,000 miles only! Great coach, and the interior is like, "Honey, I'm home". But one question. Was there a washer and dryer? Didn't see one when you walked through the bus.
That little retractable step at the doorway? That is a total NIGHTMARE! Having driven one like this in my former life as a motor coach operator, I can tell you those little steps are nothing but a hazard! You can rip them off with little curbs; and many people fall because they forget to look down and see it. Normally the driver assists people as they step off; and I learned early on after catching a few people, to very loudly state...WATCH THIS STEP! That would have been the first thing I would have taken off that bus while converting it. LOL Sweet bus to drive though!
The 1st lower stage needs to open up forward or back ward. then 2nd stage less random much easier to deploy, & flush 6-7" max height on riser flush fit.
88: some corp I looked at today the steps rested flush on the ground if it worked even if high up that is best I hve seen. If it had to be a bottom stage full flush sit then hve a 2nd set of stair for 2nd stage grandma even icey would be fine even if didn't hve her ice shoes on yet to walk tiny dog.
Hi Andrew! This does seem like a great coach for the $$ !!! I like it. It is simple......and definitely doesn't have some of the foo foo stuff that others do. But, it seems to be in good condition. I'd want to get Kyle to take a gander at it first; but I do like this one!
mobile lots rent for 200-250 dollars so my camp ground my land way less for poor ppl if they rent by 6months not just hottest vaca month. Once we move your rent to own if 2 yrs paid up rent in advance u will hve to pay lot fee.g not near as cheap, nope.

That rig does have a ton of life left in it! Would be a great project, very clean! Thanks for an awesome video!
Guess I’m a “plain” kinda guy...I love it.
Yes, I like the simple style, plain white color, plain roof, something I can work on!

Now your getting into the regular working man $$$$.
One of the most beautiful design I've seen.
Another nice MCI coach. Thank you Wayne and Andrew for the tour. Happy trails!
My kind of coach.
I used to drive those MCI 102DL3's commercially.... a pleasure to drive, well made and good looks.
That's my dream coach.

What a value! Best thing I've seen in that price range!
Sir,that mci is the best...its simplicity,yet it has the real comfort of big bucks spent...very nice coach...bless your journey with peace💜🤗
this is one of the best conversion coaches that i've seen
Andrew you are such a tease.When you buying another RV
It needs a big update in side very 1980s
Nice homemade coach. Central air was the thing back then.
Thats not a bad bus at all. And like I said it's priced for a normal every day working man.
All buses should be priced for the working man not just the elite or rich. Always been a dream of mine to have a MCI RV converted coach trouble is Australia isnt quite big enought to justify a coach for full time living
@@guido0582 HUH?
I think it’s the perfect layout. Not over the top. Spot on
The decor is unique, not too over the top... nice coach for the money & low miles, with the right quality.
A beautiful coach, this is something that would be perfect for my wife and I 💯‼. Great job as always Andrew.
I like this bus. MCI has great value because its double panel shell and durable ride. Great Value for the buyer for only 75K.
Hopefully someone buys it so this man can enjoy his retirement
There was an additional vanity and sink in the bedroom that you completely missed Andrew. 😏
Good call asking about the tyre date codes,should be high on the list when looking to buy a coach !!
For a steal at $75k, one could buy two sets of tires!
@@cmdrdarwin3682 Just saying in general as its a good haggling point.
Beautiful coach great price…Wouldn’t purchase it without a maximum warranty.
I love how the entry door was left original.
Love it All be visiting Wayne on Monday to see one of his buses great guy on phone thank you Andrew would’ve not known about him if not for your videos

Looks so nice Andrew and could be a great coach for someone
Great looking machine...what a great buy it would be...I am envious!
you should get that. See how it compares to a Prevost. it has the Detriot 60, worth the money already
You need to do a video of driving it, then compare it to the Prevost you drove.

Nice looking...bedroom floor looked to have water damage floor was separating in the corner.
I love this!!!!!! Andrew you find the best stuff man!
Kind of a bargain really! Maybe a great entry level for someone wanting to full time in a class A
77,000 miles only! Great coach, and the interior is like, "Honey, I'm home". But one question. Was there a washer and dryer? Didn't see one when you walked through the bus.
yea I was wondering the same on the washer/dryer
Wheres the dish washer, and tanning bed? 🤣
Perfect for you Andrew.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💫💫💫💫💫
Would go for this if had the $$ and it had a washer/dryer option
Would love to see more seated coach conversions videos that the average, everyday family could purchase.
Really love this Bus! Beautiful!
I really love this Motorcoach
Basic simple bus, I dig it

I watch this video all the time. Gosh, if I had the money... 😺
Great coach
Nice coach!
I love it wish I had the money right now..it's perfect for me
Love it mine is mci
Man, that thing is awsome, very nicely done, wonder why so cheap?
The 1st lower stage needs to open up forward or back ward. then 2nd stage less random much easier to deploy, & flush 6-7" max height on riser flush fit.
Nice clean simple unit 👍🏼
Andrew, since you are also wanting to upgrade, why would you not buy this coach???
This is a used Coach that needs to be Snatched Up !!
Paint and update a bit inside and you have a GREAT Coach with a TON of Life left!!
I like it..comfort..business like.
I like the homey feel..vs strip club look of most prevost..
Retro, but what a bargain. And it must have set idle for a while. Lots of ?????
As coaches get older less about vaca primer rental more cheap 6months-1 yr rental.
88: some corp I looked at today the steps rested flush on the ground if it worked even if high up that is best I hve seen.

"Hommie Kind of Feel" computer monitor was also from 1997
I was sold 1:5 in. Lol
slides way better for rent but older cheaper to buy a bas conversion like tis it is fine.
Under a 100k if still in great shape could be a rent to own, what world will be offering it who knows.
Hey Andrew, I know the gentleman gave his number in the video, but I thought I'd ask you if he ever sold the bus?
Very nice
Very old and plain looking coach. Looks very diy compared to the nicer coaches shown. It also sounds like the owner is flexible on the 75,000
Does it have a washer dryer?
15 amp generator? Or 15 kw?
*Now for the $64 question..
_Andrew, have you made a deal on this coach? If not, why?_*
no where it is cheat rent better than back of car, but touristy city lots it is newer vaca night to night rental stock.
You should buy it
Price is awesome . The 70 porn interior if funny .
I'd redo thst hole interior that's for sure . Lay out is very good just needs modernized interior.
Hey Andrew does this coach have a k-5 plitter reductioner?Just saying
I'm not sure what that is
If it were around 50k....it would be attractive....75k is a bit high
Is it still available
Está muy bonita que cuesta ese bus
mobile lots rent for 200-250 dollars so my camp ground my land way less for poor ppl if they rent by 6months not just hottest vaca month. Once we move your rent to own if 2 yrs paid up rent in advance u will hve to pay lot fee.g not near as cheap, nope.
Andrew why did you want ture the MCIl bus so fast you didn't even show the engine compartment, not cool man
Andrew is this coach still available ?
You would have to check with Wayne. I believe he has a sale pending when I talked to him last week
Thanks Andrew, I called Wayne and you are correct it sold in November. Wow what a beautiful coach, so guess I will continue looking and watching.
It's called a roof not a ruff
Looks like a dated doctors office wait room. The tambour looks really stupid.
The tambour wrapped cabinets are really hurting its value.
Industrial or stock😂
Too much money
wth is up with your editing on this one bro!
Huh?
