1979 GMC 6000 Blue Bird School Bus

[@TheRenard10]

That transmission is music to my ears! 👂🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@BlindGordie]

Mine too! I hope that more videos of this bus will be made!

[@bikdav]

It sounds kind of like the Muncie M22 Rock Crusher nicknamed transmissions that some GM cars had in the 70s.

[@ashleylewis4892]

That sound of Clark engine takes me back to elementary school days we had a similar school bus sound just like that I believe it was number 732-33 Ford school bus if I remember.

[@southernbustransportation]

Beautiful bus! It sounds so vintage, yet amazing! :)

[@BlindGordie]

Yeah, I've been looking for a video with a bus which sounds like that for years. I'm in Southern Ontario and I hadn't heard that classic first-gear whine since about 1993. I wish I could hear it in third gear or faster, so I can reremember what it sounded like. I'm also blind and I have always tried to pay attention to things like this.

@@819transitvideos thanks! I love it!

The sound of that engine on that bus brings back memories for me 0:57

[@jdmandan]

Oh I remember that transmission whine :)

[@kagome122885]

For a school bus from 1979, it looks to be in pristine condition!

[@conejo3923]

Those are my favorite, I remember SBS transit in Ohio used them as spares for Lorain city schools back in the day. I remember 25 and 55 and 57

[@patd5450]

Ça me rappelle mon enfance !!! J'étais assis en arrière la fenêtre ouverte pour écouter le son de l'exhaust hahaha !!!

[@patricedesjardins5580]

Ca rappelle des vieux souvenirs ca! quand j'avais 6ans en 1987

[@BlindGordie]

Thank you for posting this, I've been looking for years, for that classic school bus wine and I love school buses with standard transmission, which sound like this. Again, thanks for posting and I hope there are more like this with this bus.

[@brianfalzon6739]

[@ericrichard858]

Skip granny low start in the straight cut gear 2nd whaeynneynainnnn! Then the combination of the v8 sounds 👌

[@nicolemclucas7578]

I would buy this.

[@BlindGordie]

As somebody who is blind, I'm curious what size of bus it is. Is it a typical type C school bus, or is it one of those 12 Cedar multifunction activity buses, like some schools and summer camps head, back in the day? I live in the GTA and in the 70s and 80s, the CNIB in Toronto had a bus with the same transmission, as well as the lake Joe CNIB camp, before it was either retired or died around 1983.

[@michaelchambers1286]

The School Bus That Drives Around On This Video Sounds Just Like The School Bus Caillou Rides In The PBS Kids Show Caillou Episode Caillou's School Bus.

AMIIIIIIIIRRR TAHIIIIIII🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️

[@TheRenard10]

This I'm guessing is a manual transmission.

[@BlindGordie]

I believe so, because I recognize the sound that I used to hear on these buses in Toronto and other parts of Ontario in the 70s and 80s. I forget what this bus probably sounded like in third gear and I had forgotten, how it sounded in second.

[@RankielGuitar]

excellente condition pour un véhicule aussi vieux!

[@tbirdhomer]

This one sounds like the old ford engines/manual transmission

[@DannyLockwood-be7su]

Is it gas or diesel

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Gasoline 4 stroke or diesel Detroit ??

[@ericrichard858]

Make another vid taking off on road full throttle this would be awesome... you don't hear em anymore.

[@819transitvideos]

Lucky you, I just uploaded a new video

[@1940limited]

Where is this bus? Why the signage in non-English?

[@johnw2026]

Some French-Canadian province in Canada.

[@yomeculieaestebotcobardem1519]

V8?????

[@pabloluimeme]

v8 427 :)

[@ricksperfkanski3222]

How is that a 1979 ? that's a 69-72 chassis, Maybe the bus section is 79

[@cohengamertv6548]

The bus model involed in the carrolton bus crash of 1988 R.I.P. to all the victims

[@nicolemclucas7578]

That bus was a Superior body on a Ford chassis. The only thing similar is the Clark transmission.

[@wisekelvin730]

Does It have airbrakes

[@819transitvideos]

Nope

[@manuelsoto8392]

Cómo podría comprar un bus como este un Blue Bird GMC ,motor diesel, escribo desde Costa Rica,

[@Steelers2841]

Never was a Fan of Clark Transmission my Favorite was Spicer 6 Speed Manual till I mess up my Knee. Then I went to Allison AT545 or HT741 OR HT755

[@wisekelvin730]

What Engine Is It

[@819transitvideos]

GM 427 Big Block

[@BlindGordie]

@@819transitvideos will you be making anymore driving videos with this bus? I would love to hear what it sounds like in third gear, after 29 years since the last time I had ridden on a bus which sounds like this.
