Used to drive a manual 63 crown with a 220 Cummins. Loved it because it was the same school bus I rode to school on for 7 years. Ended up being gutted and sent to the scrap yard. Tragic ending

For those of you who don't know this car was deemed the poor man's Cobra if you couldn't afford a cobra this was the next best thing in the top 25 fastest Fords this car was considered to be the scary fastest car even though the fact that had a 260 small block from 64 to from 63 to 65 and in 66 I think to 68 had a 289 2 barrel even though the fact this car had 164 horsepower it was still the fastest car out there so do not deny the sun being tiger I drove one it's a beast holla if you hear me

California Vehicle Code requires you to either remove or cover the red lenses on the warning lights. You’re not operating as a school bus.

Just don't turn them on when you're on a public road. This is a mobile piece of history, and no California cop is going to ticket anyone driving this just because the red lights haven't been covered or removed. (Also, if you replace the red lenses with amber lenses, you're totally in compliance with the CVC.)

Nice restore job. Was that bus built as a "glass-topper"? Crown built some late 1950's and early 1960's school buses with glass tops. In the early 1970's, the CHP banned transporting students with glass panels above their heads. Be careful where you drive the bus with an A/T. The L. A. Unified School District had a fleet of 1968 Crown 2A-743-11 buses (fleet numbers 2201 - 2220) with Allison transmissions. We found that when driving over objects like chain link gate mounts, the tranny oil pan would get punctured. We had to instruct drivers not to drive over the center of school driveways where the gates are. What are the cables running down the length of the bus below the dome lights? I love a Jaked Detroit!
