Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 From my collection, Muni GMC New Look Rehab numbers. This list was mailed to me by Jim Husing back in 2016 or so. I scanned it recently. It came in handy when rehabbing this page: https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/San_Francisco_MUNI_3180-3189 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 My friend sent me this a few years ago. It was part of an old campaign around 2003 for the residents of SF to vote for the disposition of old muni buses or something. Because of that vote, Muni buses were being sold directly to scrap instead of auction after 2005 or 2006. This lasted all the way until 2013. This is why we lost every Muni D40 except for 8926 sadly. People wanted to buy them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 My friend took this photo back on 5/8/2016. 6279 was being towed to auction and he saw it while driving the samTrans/MV NABI in the background. 6279 ironically still exists today at a junk yard in Shingle Springs. I helped a couple of friends buy parts from it in late 2018. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wanted to buy them. Yes, November 2003. Prop I, I believe. Rescue Muni opposed the measure. It was passed, and yes, every bus built before 1991 (which is why the 9100 series D60s weren't scrapped) were scrapped. It's also partly why Muni didn't get more Neoplans (they had options for 80 more but were asked by the Board of Supervisors to defer them). That's also why Muni tested the Neoplan CNGs and Orion VI hybrid, and ultimately got the 56 Orion VII hybrids in 2006. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was there in person when my friend sold 6292 to the new owner. Those pics were taken in Vegas shortly after being sold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to what Detroit said, it's in Vegas getting worked on where it will later be moved to New York. A fan trip in Vegas before it leaves is in the works.

Samtransxmuni Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I got a question, Regarding the ETI buses muni had, was there any meuseum out in the great states that preserved a few? (Excluding the one muni restored) because I know a meuseum made an effort to preserve one of the gillig trolley buses from King County just thought maybe somebody made the same effort. It does not even have to be Muni it could be Dayton’s RTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not even have to be Muni it could be Dayton’s RTA IRM, an enthusiast group in the Czech Republic, and Dayton RTA themselves all have 1998 ex-Dayton Skodas. Dayton RTA has a 1996 as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
