    I love the old stuff! I used to love greyhound bus lines when I was a kid! Especially the double decker pd4501

    Thank you for sharing
    It brings lots of nostalgia to me
    They were exported to Peru in the 70s, my grandfather(rip) and uncles drove them for years, I can't never forget the sound

    You cannot rent it out for enough to cover what the public would do to it. I run a charter service and people will destroy your coach unless you or a driver watches them like a hawk.

      Prevost, a GREAT example of how bad people really are can be found on the public transportation system in Atlanta called MARTA, that is IF you can stand the filth and urine smell on their trains and buses that will almost overwhelm you. I've only ridden it once when I was passing through there and I said then I'd NEVER do it again!

    Very nice bus. Was it always a blue and white color or is that the previous owner's color scheme? A lot of the diesel powered vehicles may one day not be allowed to be driven on the highways :(. Climate change an all. Also the price of fuel has skyrocketed so would cost a fortune to drive very far in these big old buses. Thanks for giving us a peek at it.

    • @falconmike6485

      Hi, I might update the furniture. The interior was built by the second owner and his wife. They then lived in it in a R.V. park in San Diego for 30 years. The craftsmanship is better than I could do in a remake. The third owner didn't change a thing, honoring the vision of the second owner. I think some things are better left alone.

      Ewww... no. Just no. If you don't like vintage don't buy vintage. People ruin a good thing by "updating" the interiors. What we think is cool today, will be hideous and dated tomorrow. Unless it's a classic.

    Just a question. How are you dealing with the new CARB rules, or are vehicles this old exempt? Beautiful.. would be a shame to have to put in a CARB permitted engine, if there is one that can be put in. That is one of the reasons that my former employer no longer runs out to the coast. He just could not see the expense of having to but new trucks to just cover such a small part of his business, just not economic. The powers that be seem to want to drive most businesses out of the state, and then who is going to transport all of the freight that runs through, or originates, the state???? 'Axe
