I own an MCI-8, serial # S10994, unit #30651, built October 1974. I would like to know the history of the coach; I can't find it listed on the angelfire site. Its last commercial duty was with Gray Line in Canada but it had MANY coats of paint of MANY different colors so it probably didn't start its life there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, John |

Most of the MCI 8 coachs were manufactured for Greyhound. if that helps. I think there were only about 4 thousand or so MCI 8's made and probably atleast 75% of those were made for the hound. |

Thank you, Mr Long. If I may ask, where do you look to find this information? I would like to be able to help other people discover the original owner of their coaches. It is interesting to try and figure out the path they have taken before we took possesion of them. Thanks again, John |

John - The info comes from a binder on the bookcase next to my computer, obtained thru 25 years in the bus industry.
I'm always willing to share individual coach's original owner info, simply send me an email by clicking on my name in blue above.
