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.
