Benjamin Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Here is a picture for a 1979 MCI MC-5C specifications sheet. It isn't HQ and it was of an eBay auction that ended this past January. I can make out from what I can read that the Allison MT644 was the only automatic listed for this (the HT740 was also available but via special order). ~Ben Edited February 28, 2014 by Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big CJ Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice spotting this. I recalled seeing these in the 90s running for companies like Mears and Grayline Tours. Thanks to Youtube user, Marcos A. R., I found out the ones Mears used were powered with 6v71Ns and were formerly owned by American Bus Lines in South Florida. GrayLine Tours also bought the Ex-ABL MC-5Cs and used them for their operations in Orlando and Broward County. I do wonder why ABL only kept the MC-5Cs for only 13 years. They didn't appear to be unreliable, though I did say the same about the Cametal CX40s and found out the second page to the story for those buses.
