Not now. Only one survives, 19 others are in Victoria, Nanaimo, Whistler and Abbottsford. Every other GM/MCI Classic has been sent to the scrapyards. The 1991 D40 High floors will probably be next, unless we do something...

Wow.. real classic bus and engine sound. I think low-torque. How far are the bus-stop from one another? VidTravelogues

[@Welwyn22]

Unfortunately the Victoria MCI Classics are all going to be retired next year. BC Transit are apparently offering them at $3k each if you're interested. Victoria also has one of Vancouver's old GM Classics (ex. 4133, now #8908)

What a lovely Classic. The question is, what sounds better in a Classic? A 6V92TA/V730 or 6V92TA/Voith D863.3?

[@busrailfan]

I think the best 'sounding' power train in the Classic is the 6V92TA and the Allison V731 with no retarder.

[@TheCRTman]

@@busrailfan I'll agree to that or a 6V71N

[@busrailfan]

@@TheCRTman But I do like how quickly this bus got moving with that Voith!

[@TheCRTman]

@MVRTA108 Nope, it's in the evening~~

[@billlmf]

Except 4276 preserved by TRAMS, the rest of them already scrapped~~

[@Welwyn22]

Sorry, not true. Only 20 of them survive today, one of them in Oakridge, preserved by TRAMS, and the other 19 are in BC Transit hands.

Did all the Translink MCIs get scrapped?
