Today I took a ride on this vintage 1985 Volvo B10M with Volgren bodywork.
This bus has almost clocked up a impressive 3 Million Kilometers, it is currently right now on its second engine (which has been rebuilt a few times) which has been fitted with a ZF Ecomat 5HP500 5 Speed Automatic Transmission. This bus was first ordered and delivered to Greyhound Australia in 1985 which then later sold it to Pacific West Brisbane who when later sold it to its current owner Sunshine Tours. With Sunshine Tours this bus was used on Metro and V/Line replacements but due to safety reasons this bus is only used for special occasions now. This bus ran on a test drive from the depot to Port Melbourne and then to Sunshine. (I was on it for reasons)
Best to watch this video with headphones for the pure B10M sound, also a few kickdowns in the video too hehe!
ENJOY!!!
