I drove these all over the country and I have always thought these were the most beautiful busses ever built
Me too.
It's still For Sale!!!
HAY WILY, GOOD REVIVAL, FER-SHER... NICE SUNDAY, GO TO MEETIN-TYPE BUS RIGHT THERE. ALREADY GOT THE HISTORY, JUST NEED THE FOLKS... STAY COOL, WILY, PEACE FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
Thanks
My dad drove for Greyhound in the 70’s-90’s I rode on many of those buses. Detroit baby! Bill Anderson’s tour bus broke down and dad had to go pick him up and take him to his show while he got his bus fixed back in the late 70’s.
Thank you for sharing that story
Thanks for watching
Nice video,,, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Back during the 60s I rode a lot of either Golden Eagle or Silver Eagles while I was in the Army.
It's hard to kill a Detriot. I think those engines will still run during the zombie apocalypse. 😅 Good job Wily! Thanks for sharing!
Хорошии́. 😊👍
LOL. I agree. Right up there with roaches
All I want to hear after the apocalypse is a 220 cummins with a drop end manifold and straight pipe pulling a grade
When you hooked up the battery I think I heard the toilet flush😂😂😂.❤ Your channel is my favorite.
Lol. Is that what that was ?
This is a very cool old bus! I smiled widely when it just cranked right up and it sounds pretty good too! I drove a 1955 GMC PD-4501 Scenicruiser for parts of 2 years for a bicycle tour group out of Michigan. We went as far west as Seattle, as far south as Key West, as far east at Novi Scotia and as far north as Michigan's U.P. Those came initially with 2 4-cyl Detroit engines in line but were rapidly converted to a single 8V71 Detroit. The setup in the rear was very similar with that gearbox sending a shaft left for the engine cooling fan and to the right for the air conditioning system, though there was no turbo. The Scenicruiser only had one drive axle and one tag but both axles had duals. The Scenicruiser had 10 seats and the restroom on the lower floor then went up three steps to 41 mode seats in the rear. (10 rows with the last row having 5 seats across)
The transmission was four speeds with no synchro's so it required double clutching when downshifting. To reverse, put it in first, hold a switch to activate a solenoid and, pull back to second. It had only four gauges, Speed, Air, Temp and oil pressure. No fuel gauge, or tach or even an odometer, that was on the wheel. It was such a nice bus to drive. With the engine way in the back and air suspension, it felt almost like you were flying, though it topped out at 72 MPH.
Thanks for sharing. I would like to see that duel engine set up
@@DontbeWily the two engine original setup also included two gearboxes a 2 and a 3 speed giving 6 gears. I never saw one so I only expect that the 2 speed unit was a switch not a lever. I have read that the clutch was also just a switch meaning starts and shifts were harsh!! With the 8v-71 and the 4 speed with a real clutch a good driver could produce the smooth acceleration that bus passengers love!
I like 👍 the bus 🚌 I. Think 🤔 it would make a great 👍 r/v to take a trips and don’t forget to try the food 🥘 you have a great 👍 day
Awesome will it start...and yes it will...bravo Wiley😎👍🚛🔧🇺🇸🛠️😇

It's amazing to see that old bus run, but those Detroit diesel engines will run. Great video, Wiley 👍👍

Wiley, good job, buddy. You got another running that's awesome, buddy. I appreciate you 👍
Thanks 👍
Beautiful
great job Wiley and God bless
Thank you
Your videos are always good but as a fan of the Eagle busses, this one was a real treat. I agree they are some of the prettiest busses around. Have to say I was really shocked and disappointed at the condition of the interior. There seems to be evidence that it was indeed used by a gospel group but the trashed interior makes me think the last road trip was made by a rock n' roll band. Could be a nice project for someone, though the steel frames on these busses were notorious for hidden rust and that will need to be thoroughly checked. The rear suspension was rubber torsion axles that could be adjusted as they wore out, but only to some extent and then they need to be replaced which is costly. Like others here I was not surprised that the Detroit diesel fired right up.
It's been robbed of a good bit of the interior and used for storage.
Great job Wiley!
Thank you
Nice job wily.
Thanks!
Wow ! You are so lucky Wily ! That many years setting it’s a miracle the rack wasn’t stuck !
I think some of those old coaches were 24 volt with 12 volt converters.
Sounds really good but probably got a lot of air leaks from lines and air bags.
Have a Blessed Day
🇺🇸⚡️TCB⚡️
I should be prepared for a run away

Very nice job and God bless y'all
Thanks
Thanks for another great video Wiley.
It was interesting for sure.
Feel sorry for you getting all that turbo oil film all over you and your clothes.
Going to have to run you thru a car wash to get you cleaned up-just giving you a bad time Wiley. Sorry about the messy oil film you got into. Oh my. Hang in there.
I heard the owner say he wanted to sell so I bet you can help him and bet someone out there would be interested. Get him going in the right direction Wiley.
Super video Wiley. Thanks so much.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Feel bad for you getting that oil film all over you.
How was the meal that Casey fixed for you???????
Let us know please.
Thanks.
I can just stand next to grease and it will get on me. Trying to smother it out was the worse part. I got me a lung or two full of it
Thanks
Kasey can cook. He is a retired truck driver. He should have plenty of stories to tell while cooking
what a bus
Yes it was
Love your viedos
Thanks
Enjoyed your video Wily.
Thanks
nice!
Nice work.
Thanks
You're welcome. The polite southern commentary is 2nd to none.
You the man wily I knew you could do it
Thanks
the Continental Trailways silver eagles were my favorite ride.
Thanks for sharing
I would love to have that bus
That ol Detroit was ready to go sown the road! Man I've always like these Eagle buses! Wonder how much he'd let it go for🤔
Contact take Casey. His channel info is in the description. He can give you information about it
Are you still interested in this bus? Please contact me.
Its very simple to shut down this type of detroit , trip the emergency stop on the blower by hand - its simple to reset by hand . The governor has 2 levers , the throttle and the shut down lever - both can be operated by hand .
Thanks for sharing and watching

Back in the early 60s the Golden Eagles had a snack bar in the back with a waitress. I use to ride them to Military school. Those good old days are long gone. SHAME.

You could tell had eat Casey’s cooking before
Detroit: If there ain't no oil under it, there ain't no oil in it.
