take a look at the inside and outside of his bus and hear a little bit of the engine as it dries past this old restored bus from the early 70s was on display so I decided to take a video of it.
This here is a Motor Coach Industries MCI mc6. This bus has a Detroit Diesel turbocharged 8 V 71 with a 4 speed Allison automatic transmission. This is bus is 4169, as numbered by the owner, Frank Gonzalez of Stardust Tours. This bus originally had when it was manufactured a Detroit Diesel 12v 71 with a 4-speed mechanical transmission. There were only 100 of these buses ever made all of them were for Greyhound originally. In this video you can take a look at the inside of the bus and the outside of the bus and you can hear the engine a little bit as the unit drives past me. I saw this bus at the Museum of bus transportation Spring Fling in Hershey Pennsylvania.
The Motor Coach Industries MC-6 was a motor coach produced from 1968-1969. Greyhound had helped design it and intended it as a replacement for the Scenicruiser. Unlike the MC-7 it was an entirely different ultra-modern design and MCI's first 102 inch wide bus. The prototypes had the third axle covered by a body panel.
102 were built in total.

My dad drove for Greyhound from 1969 until 1990 out of Des Moines, Iowa. He passed away in 1995. Thankfully, I still remember so many things about the different buses he drove and the things he told me about them. I remember how fond he was of this bus and I remember the time my brother and I were with him in Chicago, around Christmas of 1984, I believe it was. He was scheduled to bring one of these buses to Des Moines, and it was loaded with packages; both underneath and inside, clear up to the two front rows of seats. We were so excited to get to ride on it! However, it never happened. They moved my dad to do what they called, protect, a Chicago to Des Moines run. Meaning, if bus A got full and booking went over (I think it was 10 passengers turning it into what was called a double) then my dad had to take that instead. And he sure enough did! About 2 he later, my brother and I were on a westbound bus with about 20 people on it. Honestly, it doesn't matter. I had so much fun riding the Greyhound all of those years with my dad, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Mostly everything is gone from back then. The depots in Omaha, Des Moines and Chicago have all been torn down over the decades. The garages are gone, too. Thankfully, I still have a lot of my dad's Greyhound stuff. I've got every logbook and piece of paperwork he ever had. I even have some of his uniforms, too. Best of all, is that I have a lot of great memories of spending time with my dad.

My era when your father drove, maybe he drove when I was on it? He must have seen a lot in that era, could have written a book on it too. You rode with your father, must have been a blast as a kid. Your father was good to go for sure. Good luck to you!

@rogerlloyd7809 3 года назад

I was driving this bus between Madison, WI and Chicago. It was brand new and out of the factory, There were 3 buses on that convoy. All 3 of us were pulled over at the Belvidere toll gate by the Illinois troopers. Turns out the buses didn't have the proper permits so we 3 drivers were hauled off to jail until Greyhound provided the permits and bailed us out. Ah, the memories. Great job!!

@thegodblogger3812 Год назад

Wow, incredible that Greyhound's compliance dept wouldn't have had that covered. But you drivers being arrested was way over the top. The troopers must've been on their monthlys because they knew Greyhound as a reputable company.

@ernestnora6188 3 года назад

Supercruiser and Americruiser bring back a lot of memories when I was a kid in the late 70’s when my Mom,brother and I would take a Greyhound every summer from LA to EL Paso,Tx. It was such a thrilling time to board the bus and the smell of the air conditioning. We would pick the front seat so we could see the road and open view and watch the driver . I would love stopping at every stop and get off to stretch our legs and eat cafeteria food or get some comic books to read. First stop would be Indio, then Blythe,arrive at Phoenix at midnight where there would be a 30 minute wait so they could clean the bus. Then I remember staring out into the desert with nothing but stars out in the sky and maybe some far away light in the distance and even far away lighting. It was magical.

Was on a GreyHound from LA to Rhode Island 1978... Never want to do that again, and never did! Good service from Greyhound, a $55 ticket special, but no sleep, an aching back and leg cramps, I was 23 years old then!

I rode on that model more than several times, cross country too. My favorite bus, was the old Trailways bus, looked like the Caddy of buses back in that era. That Greyhound was slick, use to always notice it and gawk!

@ChildofGod3712 2 года назад

I remember riding this bus once from New York to Philadelphia…whisper quiet and very smooth ride…top speed was 65 mph…Very wide though and in fact some states did not allow them back then because of their width… 102 inches I believe it was… But anyway it was a beautiful coach even by today’s standards

@thegodblogger3812 Год назад

Yes, they were exclusive to Greyhound but could only run up and down the west coast and the northeast corridor along with Canadian service. The MC-6s were sold off by Greyhound in 1980. It was the mid-1980s before 102"-wide coaches could run the US unrestricted.

@shrinkg969 6 лет назад

In 1980 my friend in Thousand Oaks, CA bought one of the few Canadian 6's that had not been re-powered to 8V71/automatic. His bus had the 12V71 & 4 speed manual. He owned two buses for charter, a 5 for years then added the 6. I was running a Scenicruiser doing weekend and summer charters. I was teaching school at the time. For my 6 years having my tour time, I often drove his coaches if mine was down for repairs, or if he needed a driver. He was a business man who started his little company as a one bus commuter run to downtown LA. I loved taking the 6 on Vegas runs, it hit the Cajon grade just before Nevada and it would SAIL up the grade! My bus was down for repairs one weekend when I had a University Jazz Band schedule for LA to SF trip. They wanted to go up the coast route, Hiway 1, beautiful ride. I planned on his 5 but instead got the 6. FUN drive on the windy road on the cliffs, like a bloated sports car! It convinced me to switch out my bus 8V71 for the truck version 318 (8V71 with 318 hp and more torque/pep) so I added a 10spd roadranger to utilize the extra power. Fun too...

@timundheim9323 5 лет назад

I also had a friend in Buena Park, CA in 1981 who ran a small operation - mostly the GMC "Buffaloes" - but, one of whose coaches was a MC-6 with a 12V (amounting to two twin 6 Detroits V-ed together) and a 4 speed manual. He probably picked it up from the same sale in LA yours came from. I drove it on various tours from 81-84, one of which was across the country. I remember one tour which took me to Victoria, B.C. Greyhound drivers in the same parking lot were amazed at the thing - couldn't believe what had been driving across Canada a decade earlier (I think this one had a Canadian history). It was quite a creature - a beautiful sound. With the 55 mph speed limit at the time, 4th gear was borderline too slow to drive at without breaking the speed limit.

@ETBX1 5 лет назад

Cool! I always wondered if there were any that weren't repowered. Almost everything that has that pre-MC-9 style has an 8V71 (with the exception of many MC5c's, and then there's MC 1 and 2, but you never see or hear/read those anywhere).

@SternDrive 5 лет назад

shrinkg Gordon You put a 10 speed road ranger in a bus !!!! That is fantastic man. I have driven every Hound bus out there in my 43 years, except the MC 6. I drove the old GMC with the 4 speed. The MC 5 and the MC 7 also had 4 speeds. Then we got MC 8's with automatic. I always hated them and dreaded every trip in one. Then we got MC 9's with the 5 speed. Great bus ! Then we got the MCI 102 wide body buses. They were OK except for the strange passenger door vertical opener. I was the first driver to operate the new MCI "E" model on a line run when they first came out. Later the "J" model was tested, but Greyhound did not buy them because they were just too expensive. By far my favorite was the Prevost H3 40 with 6 speed. Drove those for many years and loved them. Happy memories.

@timundheim9323 5 лет назад

Something tells me we're talking about the same person, shrinkg gordon. This guy ran an operation out of Buena Park, CA and leased his MC6-12 several times - mostly during the summer - (along with other coaches) to a musical organization in Thousand Oaks, CA. I drove several tours across the country for the musical organization.

@anthonyscott4589 4 года назад

I’m 60 and been in love with Greyhound Bus lines all my life! Every time I saw one , I would say the “ Puppy dog bus” I couldn’t read the writing back then! I remember riding with my family from time to time from the South to the North. All the sounds and smells associated with travel by bus. We would bring fried chicken rapped in foil in a brown bag. Minimum hiring age was 24 years and remember living up North and driving to 16 & Market in Philadelphia to apply, got hired, and was scheduled to attend training in New Jersey... Then the strike happened! Never got to drive for Greyhound, but ended up as a Motorcoach Operator anyway. Spent half my life behind the wheel in the industry and have enjoyed most of it! They say if you find something you enjoy doing, you’ll never work a day in your life 😁!!

During the first ten years of my life I lived in Greencastle, Indiana and Greyhound had a bus depot not far from where we lived at it was possible to walk to it easily. I can recall times when I saw the MCI mc-6's arriving and departing. I always appreciated seeing them. My mom's older sister and brother in-law lived in Mount Vernon Iowa and there were plenty of times I was interested and wanted to take the bus to there and back but mom and dad did not want to go Greyhound. I understood why but never tried to get my way.

Rode on the 6 as a kid but never drove the 6. Had a few 5s doing side work for charter companies. The 6 was great for climbing mountains in British Columbia. The tank capacity was awesome for freight as we once carried a lot of parcels in western Canada before First Group bought us & buried us forever Oct 30.

@AMStationEngineer 4 года назад

I grew up with a best friend who's family was in the charter [motorcoach], and mass transit [line-run with fishbowls] business. We had one MC-6 stop by the bus garage, circa '86, and the eight of my colleagues and myself who were there that day got to go for a ten-mile drive in that most impressively restored bus. Driving a "6", is high atop my bucket list, and that list is being 'checked off with a new urgency'. Thanks so much for posting this:-D

this was back when you could almost stretch your legs out on a dog..as I remember there was also more room to stow your bags overhead as well..those 36 hour rides were almost bearable for the 1`st 24

The luxurious past... my recent ride on a Greyhound x3-45 made me feel like it had more leg room then a budget airline.. and the seats still recline 💺

Drove one once. Bakersfield to Barstow. V8 automatic, not the previous V12. Nice.

Was there in it a Detroit 8V92 instead a 12V71? The 92 series was lauched in 1974.

@wnewbury4 3 года назад

@@newlookfishbowl1979 V8 71, I believe. Definitely not a V12. Greyhound did away with the V12s. I started driving bus in 1973.

@@wnewbury4 That route must've been pooled or interlined service with Orang Belt Stages. Bakersfield to Barstow was their territory back when you were driving. OBS interlined with Greyhound on San Francisco thru skeds to Dallas, Memphis, and Atlanta. but the MC-6s would've only been allowed to go as far as the California border.

Wow, looks like the urban legend is very much alive, prior to this all I had was a really worn out picture that was in the bus shop I used to work in the late 80's. Commendable for a private investment to preserve a rare piece of history. Thank you for sharing this video! Does this event happen annually?

@BusTVChan 5 лет назад

This event happened annually with a different theme each year, I believe this year they are doing transit buses theme
