Note the stainless steel frame is not effected ..the ugly tar is the
old sealant,
the brown is old primer, the white powder is aluminum skin corrosion
The shiny metal is the stainless steel under all
that mess.

Suspension .
In very good condition..

On most Buses like this one the images of a 1987 bus would
be covered in Rust on most
coaches . MCI is famous for their rust control and this is one of the best
I've seen in years
For those who may not know,....
You only have a front suspension and a rear suspension ..
The middle of the coach is nothing more then a Stainless Steel flat
box bottom with stringers and a
Corrugated aluminum floor to form the luggage bays. This is all stainless
steel and aluminum construction...

These suspension images above would normally be covered with
rust ...
Take note all you see is the extremely heavy Under coat MCI offers
along with well maintained
lubrication and chemical protection .For an 18 Year Old coach ,...There aren't many left in this
condition ...
You have to be careful when looking at an 18 year
old coach, go here for more information on what you need to know when
looking at used MCI's ..
Buying a Bus?
Everyone says,...Go get a southern bus, but
remember they come up north during the winter too,..
Also most charter operators from the north haul loads to the south. Some
times you can buy a northern bus but its spent most of its time the
south also ..That's where they get a lot of their hauls to the south from during
the winter ..
Plus, be careful of fatigue miles. They may be cleaner looking but how
is the chassis,.. strains and cracks everywhere ...
just make sure you have someone with you who knows buses and where to
check for fatigue Cracks ..
This the main reason we use these buses for our
rebuilds...They are usually in good chassis condition and not worn out
.
We would rather replace parts then have to re-weld structural
again ...
