Great story and video. Having resurrected a few old cars I can appreciate your journey. Thanks for raising awareness for these old busses.

Our pleasure!

[@larryanderson8049]

bus novice to bus pro....there ya go! Sure enjoyed riding along on your and Sage's adventure!

[@BusWithUs.]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffersonspace]

Glad your home safe Jason. These old GM buses are wondrous machines. PSA, MIami, Fl.

[@paulm.6437]

The color of those seats is a pretty good match to the color of the top of your bus

[@MrMauserb]

Take it for pleasure drives every few weeks. It helps keep your gear shifting right, and reminds you why you're busting your knuckles and your back. (and puts a big smile on your face)

[@BusWithUs.]

I've been driving it every 2 days !! :)

Awesome bus. It looks and sounds so good. Nothing like the sound of a 6-71 Detroit diesel. I always admired the PD 3751, 4101 and 4501. In the late '40s and early '50s, my active-duty Navy dad traveled thousands of miles in PD3751s, from California to the East Coast, and back. In 1961, mom and we kids traveled from San Diego to Norfolk, VA in several PD 4501s. We thought that was the greatest experience, ever, and were glad that we didn't take a train or fly. Nice to know that guys like Jason, Sage, Scott and others are taking a keen interest in resurrecting these old buses; PD3751s, especially. Thanks for sharing your video of your trip through the UP of Michigan, etc. Beautiful scenery.

Bus, car or truck - anytime one of these old kids gets a new lease on life it's great. Nicely done.

[@BusWithUs.]

Yes! Thank you!

[@philipcastetter6757]

One thing I failed to mention the bus sounds perfect when you pulled up. You are a good mechanic. 👍😉🚌

[@BusWithUs.]

We had some help along the way! There was lots to learn about these old Detroit's along the way.

[@AlisonFort]

Great story, great footage - thank you for taking us along😀

[@BusWithUs.]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Vintageguy73]

Nice driving Jason. Sage, pay attention!

[@edenfieldwarrior]

Well done.

[@markphilpott8735]

Another good episode. Looking forward to upcoming progress.

[@SlipFitGarage]

Congrats, sir. I use to live a few blocks from the Bus Boys shop (Richfield Bus Company) in Bloomington, Minnesota. My grandfather built and owned a commercial building two blocks down that same street (Grand Ave) from the bus garage. In fact I saw that building through the windows of your bus when you were taking those test drives around the block. I know that area very well. I'm in my mid 40's and I remember seeing those old busses parked in the yard of the bus shop since I was a very young kid. I'm happy you were able to rescue one of those busses and put it back on the road. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon your channel but I'm glad I did. I've watched every episode of your Minnesota Bus rescue series. I love old cars and trucks and apparently I now love old busses too. Lol. As you were driving across the Blue Water Bridge I started wondering how many times has that bus been in Canada through its career as a Greyhound? If that bus could talk I'm sure it would have a LOT of great stories to tell. Congrats on your successful journey and enjoy your new bus. 🙂

[@BusWithUs.]

All of these old buses have thousands of untold stories! Hopefully one day we can learn some of it's history.

[@philipcastetter6757]

Congratulations on your arriving home. I know your wife and children will be thrilled to have you home.

[@clydeschwartz2167]

Excellent video keep up the great videos 👍👍👍👍

[@michigansilversidebus2408]

Congrats on a safe trip home! Can't wait to see your vision play out.

[@charlesmair26]

That was Epic.....! A real adventure and some forever memories...!

[@dieselgypsy1100]

Congratulations on getting it home! That's no small feat! It's sure been a long haul for you, but it's made for some good videos! 😁

[@BusWithUs.]

Yes! Thank you!

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

Congratulations Jason it's been a long five weeks I've watched you and Sage through the whole Adventure can't wait for you to build the silversides

[@TooManyHobbiesJeremy]

Wow, had to wear a mask while driving! Congrats on following your dream & getting a bus 👍

[@douro20]

In Canada you can get a ticket for not wearing one if you have other people in the vehicle. Not to mention wearing one for too long can cause hypoxia.

[@MrMauserb]

@@douro20 In Canada, the government nannies can also kiss my free ass.

[@busoldmanphil7293]

I have been waiting days for this. Glad you're home safe and no breakdown. Can't wait for your visit in the future.

[@BusWithUs.]

We'll be back!!

[@jeannette9804]

Just moved back from TC to Ohio after living there for 10 yrs and really enjoyed riding along with you and viewing familiar scenery! What a journey! Have really enjoyed you and Sage’s videos. Love these old pieces of history!

[@dennisbailey4296]

I think you got the better of the two buses for sure. You worked your rear end off on your bus and on Sages bus. I'll bet you're glad that you can do your own thing on your own boss now. Looked as if you had some stressful times with Sage he seemed to take offense easily. All the best from BC Canada

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

What a great series with awesome documentation for those of us new to the bus journey of yours. I wish I would have found all of this bus stuff about 3 years ago, because at that time I would have been out there looking too. Too late for me now, so I'll just have to live vicariously through you, Sage and Scott. Looking very forward to see how you transform it!

[@sajithaperera1228]

WOW you live in a really beautiful area..

[@ianangusmann]

Well done. From New Zealand. Nice place you live.

[@motortowncuriosites7005]

Your careful selection of that bus has paid off. Looking forward to seeing the restoration.

[@alleycatvietnam]

I've enjoyed your Adventure with Sage and all those with whom you visited, the drive home and your comments say it all. " Bloody Well Done " Cheers from San Francisco.

[@BusWithUs.]

Thanks for that

[@jimo199966]

By now you're free of quarantine. Congratulations on your adventure and getting home safely. Looking forward to your continuing adventure 👍

[@tony66au]

Jason you are a Cog swapping natural mate, Not one crunch heard, not one utterance of Whoops, We'll pick that up later :-) which is the mantra of the Crunchy Cowboy as Cogs shoot out the side of the box lol First glance cosmetics aside you have a museum piece Silversides there, will fit in well in Canada where things seem a bit neater (Like the sides of the roads all manicured). Well im looking forward to the restoration, your BeerFlu lockdown should be about done by now and like most of us you do the right thing and carry on. Loving the Journey with you and Sage, thanks for having us with you!

[@BusWithUs.]

It sure does help to understand the mechanics of it first! Prior to this trip I had never driven straight gears on the road. She's not museum quality yet, but hope to get there one day! Thanks for the kind words.

[@tony66au]

@@BusWithUs. Dead right Jason, the biggest adjustment from Petrol to Diesel is Rev range and thats where most people make the mistake, over rev and rush the box and its crunchier than cornflakes and mechanical sympathy is a massive aid. As for condition? She's a great survivor and relatively unmolested and that, In my book is Museum quality. Something else I noted was the Music and the track when you crossed the bridge into Canada, Sounded similar to the theme to Due South which IMO is one of the greatest TV Theme songs ever which I thought was fitting.

[@dennissmith1469]

Congratulations Jason. Just Hope that Michigan Bus puts up with the Canadian Abuse!! Lol. Cant wait to see the first big project.

[@BusWithUs.]

We've started some work on the bus, more videos to follow!

[@dennissmith1469]

@@BusWithUs. good to hear Jason. Well you be putting the Greyhound paint onto the bus with maybe the dog on the side?? I like Original looks myself! But livable inside.

[@jim874]

Is it true Sage has little mailbox silhouettes stenciled under his driver's window to represent the number of mailbox kills he has?

[@bryantyoung7197]

i’d give anything to ride in the rear of a 3751 just to listen to that 671 do what it do.

[@henrywheeler5661]

Down here in Oklahoma there is a rumor that wiring is made in China and they used some plant based ingredient that attracts rodents. Something to check out. Just trying to help.

[@BusWithUs.]

I've seen pictures of some vehicles that were manufactured with it. Lots of rodent issues!

[@douro20]

Doesn't that Stop sign need a black mask?

[@BusWithUs.]

The lettering on the STOP lens does need to be black.
