History
Order
The TTC placed an order for 108 buses with General Motors in 1974. The buses were built at GM's London, ON plant and delivered in 1975.
These buses were delivered in the maroon and cream livery and had a light green interior with seats trimmed in black and pink. Buses were given the "CLRV" livery when they were overhauled in the 1980s. They were also delivered with rollsigns, though one unit (8110) received a Luminator Matrix:MAX electronic flip-dot sign in the early 1990s.
Rebuild/Retirement
Approximately one-third of this series was retired by the early 1990s. Faced with a bus shortage in part due to the withdrawal of the trolleybuses and issues with new buses, a number of buses still remained in service through the 1990s.
Only one bus was formally put through the Heavy Rebuild Program: 8073 was rebuilt and renumbered 2151 in 1999. Two buses, which did not formally go through the Heavy Rebuild Program, remained in service into the new millennium. Dedicated staff at Arrow and Malvern allowed for 8051 and 8058 to remain in service into 2002 and 2004, respectively. 8051 was the last bus in the fleet sporting the old red/black/grey "CLRV" livery, and 8058 was the last bus in the fleet equipped with rollsigns.
Preservation
After retirement, 8058 was donated to the Halton County Radial Railway where it sat on display. The unit was re-acquired by TTC in late 2015 and brought to Hillcrest Shops for possible restoration. Due to body deterioration and overall poor condition, there was some doubt about its ultimate fate if it would be restored or serve as a parts unit (with old interior parts and seats used in the restoration of either 2252 or 2444), and it lingered around Hillcrest in a stripped-down state. After restoration of 2252 was complete, shop forces turned their attention to the restoration of 8058, with work including engine and transmission rebuilding underway when shop time allows.
As well as being an example of one of the TTC's iconic fleet of over two thousand GM New Look buses operated between 1960 and 2012, 8058 has the distinction of being the oldest bus on the property (built in 1975), and a surviving example of one of TTC's numerous New Look orders built locally at the now-closed GMDD London plant, before transit bus production ended and moved to Quebec in 1979.
