That thing that you call a "pin" is called a "Crown Key". You use the tapered end to open the access panel latches beside locking the bus. CROWN KEY. I still have one from the 1970's when I drove Crowns in Los Angeles.
What a great bus you got there! Do you know what model of transmission is in it? I'm thinking Allison HT740 but could be wrong. If you still have it, can you please do a super long driving video on it? I'd love to hear it running up and down through the gears out on the road, cruising, all that good stuff. Please let me know ASAP.
Put two gallons of Power Service in the tank, top it off, then drive it for about 100 miles or so and that smoke will clear right up. Then add one gallon at every fill up to keep it clean. Nice find!
Ive been looking at a 3 axle crown. I'm not really sure on the exact name of it. Its set up like yours. But it has the step up in the roof kind of like the Scenic Cruiser's. It has an 8v71 and a 5spd. Ive always had a soft spot for old coaches. I hope to see more videos of your bus.
Hey! BEAutiful coach here. I am diligently searching for some information Wondering if you might have some info I have a 1979 crown coach and need to repair the airbrakes. Wondering if you happen to know what parts I should buy as replacements for:
Pretty old bus! I am a huge fan of Crowns!

If it was orange than most likely it was a transportation charter services bus in orange ca.
Awesome! The 855 powered Crowns seem to be quite rare.
Great find, thanks for sharing! Glad you were able to rescue it. :-)

We had one of these when I was in high school. It was a 10 speed. Not sure what engine it had.
How much would one of those cost?

It’s number should be 12
How much does a bus like that go for. It Will be a very nice motorhome.
