Well I went and paid for the bus last night and took closer look at it. Lots of original trinkets with it.
When you open the door, mounted on the lower dash is the hand crank used to open and close the bay doors
Immediatly above the crank in the original glass case is the Pyrene fire exstingusher. Lots of owner modifications thru out the years but lots of orginal trim and switches. The bus is 2 years older than me so I didn't expect much. The power train is on a slide out. When I got there the owner was trying to make it run so he could take it for a cruise before I drove it off. Nice guy.
I checked into the history on MCI website It was # 14 of 35 of the Courier 200 model It was Delivered to Greyhound Calgary Alberta October 1947 as unit # W 713 Last commercial operator was Scenic Mountain Tours. The current owner has owned it from around 78- 79 His comments were I drove the sh*T out of it and it never used any oil. (it's amazing how those off the cuff comments can be soothing)
Hopefully I can help my son restore it back to its pride. It would be # 4 on my list of current working projects but only # 2 on his list
Looking forward to driving it as the P/O is determined that I'm driving it off his property.
Side note for you fellow car/ truck restorers this guy has a yard full of restoreable quality cars this is the "first sale he made on the Internet.
