1971 Crown Super Coach Tandem Pick up Video

Picking up the 1971 Crown Super Coach Tandem Axle School Bus. Trip to Kalamazoo, Michigan.

[@bentravis21]

I bet your child will have lots of fond memories of road trips riding in all of these classic buses they will probably want to drive one of those when she at the age to drive.

[@christophercrafter2609]

Shiftin that bus like a boss. No grinding gears. Smooth like butter.

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

I would love nothing more than to convert this bus into a tiny home. What a beauty.

[@nathantatosian280]

I love older bus that have classic

[@antmoore1213]

I love an old school bus, they have so much history, and a story to tell. Your bus runs and sounds better than my 2021 bus.

[@seattlelink]

They still use these in the Rural areas of WA state

[@craigpalmer5693]

[@psa722]

A lot of the Crowns I rode on in high school were from the 60's and 70's. Some had Hall Scott engines, the one I used to love to listen to running.

[@twlea]

Tommy, I was assigned and drove that bus in 1971 in San Diego County, glad to see it,s still Kickin.

[@emeyer6963]

[@SwannBus]

Congratulations on this beautiful bus, one of my dream coaches!

[@armron94]

When i was still in school. We still have one of them in dont know the year. My last year of school was 2013. Mendon High School

[@armron94]

I live near Kalamazoo MI.

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Runs sweetly with an almost complete absence of rattles.

[@jessebrook1688]

Crown seems to have been one of the old-style quality over quantity-type companies. It doesn't keep you in business, but dang, you can't deny they've got style.

[@drh3b]

@@jessebrook1688 Crown dominated Southern Cal for decades. I grew up in Westminster(Orange County, CA) in the Seventies, and most school busses and fire trucks were Crowns. Supposedly the sturdiest and most reliable busses ever.

[@mrceleb2006]

Those school buses were seen mainly in the Pacific states of the USA many years ago...a lot of them had Detroit Diesel power!

[@bobbyheffley4955]

Straight 6 Detroit Diesel

[@mrceleb2006]

6-71

[@johnturner642]

There were about 10 former Grossmont Crowns in service for a couple of years in Sherwood, Oregon for a company called School Bus N Charter (or something similar). One was a two axle Detroit, the rest were three axle Cummins. When the company went belly up they went to a local business owner who had loaned money. I'd lay odds this was one of them.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Beautiful vintage bus

[@anthonym744]

Crazy seeing this bus! That school district is where I went to high school! The bus # was replaced by a 2001 Bluebird All American still in service today.

[@Prnencetti]

Hi my aunt Melissa and my aunt Kate they were just married in July 2021 and cousin Silas all live in Portland Oregon where this bus probably was from. Never seen this style of bus before I didn't know there was a crown School bus. In my area upstate New York Syracuse I think we have bluebird flat nose buses I see buses and safety liner buses I've never seen any of the buses that you have on your channel before other than on your channel except for I think the flat nose bus I think you said it was the building trade class bus that went out on job sites and had a couple of seats removed out of it I did recognize that bus but I don't really recognize all the other buses on your channel. That's awesome you said you wanted to get a crown and I think a gillig if I'm correct so you did it you got a crown now you got to search for the gillig bus. Well hope your museum goes well and you can preserve all the buses you want to preserve for museum quality keep up the good work can't wait to see videos of your museum whenever you get it going.

[@alexhood9438]

Damn thought this would have a 671 in it

[@djleadermusiclovelovemusic3739]

Welcome back Tommy retro love the content still can’t wait to see more and was wondering when we will see another cruising video of you taking one of the busses out for a bit of a cruise would love to nice cruising video

[@TommyRetro]

djleadermusiclove Love music Thanks! I have content for a few more pick-up videos that will be uploaded in the coming weeks. This spring I’ll do more helmet cam driving videos. 👍

[@Tchristman100]

You don't need to use all the gears. Start in 2nd, shift to 4th, pull up the button and pull it down to the granny gear position that is now 6th gear-then go through the gears normally.

[@MC-qh6fh]

That was my bus at Grossmont High School District for the last years in service. I am glad it has found a good home. If you have any questions please let me know.

[@MC-qh6fh]

Also my photo you showed. Do the Jake brakes still work?

[@RoadTo500Subscri]

I want this to be in my county

[@DriftyAlison0]

I like to see more of the city bus.

[@joshuapereira3787]

[@chrisharris6461]

I am hoping to get a bus from Ca. ...and you can have them all

[@jdtankvideos2584]

do you have facebook just asking but if you was going to sale chevy carpenter I will like to buy it from you but I live in Bronson michigan

[@markryl-kuchar2373]

I don’t think I could handle being a bus driver if I had to deal with that transmission and 90 kids, but obviously people did it back in the 70s

[@bobbyheffley4955]

Unsynchronized

[@alexcruz2398]

How many miles are shown? Is the odo last digit a mile, or 1/10 mi?

[@PGHammer21A]

Because Crowns were never in service east of the Rockies, I would NOT mind finding one that is capable of being restored to as-running-condition and actually converting to a PGCPS-style Crown (if I ever hit the PCH or Lotto).

[@FirstEliminator]

I grew up in south Florida going to the Broward County School System. In the early 80's I remember only one time of riding on a Crown. It was memorable because I recognized it had the same look as the fire trucks on the TV show Code Red. So they were at least a few east of the Rockies.

[@a-dog8075]

How do you get the money for all the buses I want a 2010 bluebird vision and put a cummins x15 and a 10 speed auto in high school

[@TommyRetro]

A-Dog I find the acquisition of the historic buses by reselling the later model buses, usually to people building tiny homes.

[@MrBaker-fr8xg]

Damn man I never seen a crown school bus before for my own eyes. Did you say it's a 91 passenger?

[@xzqzq]

Amazing how many kids can be transported in these buses...How do you find old buses for sale, is there a magazine or website ?

[@ARelevators]

R u gonna get a gillig school bus?

[@GaryNothom]

Tommy retro howmamy year you get that bus

[@littleexperience2.._._._._._..]

How are these school buses so alive?

[@xzqzq]

The low scrap value, plus extensive labor to take them apart. Better to abandon them.

[@hunterneitzel3012]

What happened to 22 and 38

[@brianlewke9692]

if you know of a 30' school bus for sale at a reasonable price please let me know
