| I am going to have to say the 90s BBAAREs. Automatic transmission, white roof, etc. As bored as I am with riding them for about 9 years, I will always remember these buses as my favorite. |

| I'll always be a Carpenter fan! Growing up on these buses, I loved them. My favorite buses to drive were our mid 80's Internationals with the 9 liter diesel engine, 5 speed manual transmissions. Boy would these buses move! Our district had three of them. I also enjoyed driving our two Blue Bird CV200's. Cat engine, automatic transmission. I Liked the layout of the dash and the hazzard switch that flashes on these buses. I may add that they were the first bluebirds our district ever bought. Proud to say it was just beginning and now half the fleet is bluebird bodies. |

2 Transpec Hatches
4 Pushout Windows

And if not the 2003, go back 10 years and give me a 1993 with a DTA360 and a MT-643 with similar specs.  |

1982 Wayne/International
65 passenger capacity
345 IHC Gasoline Engine
5-speed manual transmission
green interior
manually operated inward opening door
4 lamp exterior light monitor
back-up alarm
Normally I wouldn't even mention the light monitor or back-up alarm since the light monitor is required in Michigan and the back-up alarm has been standard for many years in our district however on those old buses there weren't many specs to mention. I spent nine years in that bus, more than any other bus I've driven. I didn't want to give it up but eventually they forced me to so they could put it on a longer route and increase it's mileage before it became a spare. Wayne's were truly loved by many in my district. |
If you have an International, you NEED customer service. |

Our lot is filled with nothing but Bluebirds on IC chassis. Recently, we've been getting IC standards.
My first route bus was a 1990 BB/IC with the 3800 engine and a 4 speed auto, hydraulic brakes. It had 178K miles. I only ran it up to 186K. It is now a spare, I drive it occasionally. Yes, it is a beast, and a long drive in it will ware you out. It was replaced by a 2004 model, with the updated 3800 & 5 speed auto, air brakes, air door, air seat & a *****'n stereo. Man, I could drive it all day and come out fresh as a daisy.

One of my all time favorite buses is a 1968 Chevrolet Superior. This bus was my first introduction to buses, the one that sparked the interest that never waned. It only grew. I was born in 1974 and my grandma had been driving this bus since 1969. The first year the district had this bus it was used as a spare and trip bus. My grandma parked her bus at her house throughout her driving career. During my childhood, her bus was my playground. It had light green seats with the metal backs Anyone remember those light green Superior seats? It also had a white switch with a red light in it used as the Master Warning Light switch as well as a red knob on top of the switch panel to activate the stop arm.

Mine is the 1983 Ward Ford I rode to school in.
diesel (what engines did Ford put in their diesels at that time?)
manual jackknife doors
manual transmission
air brakes
65 Passenger
As buses go, their buses were pretty bare-bones and still are to some extent. |

I guess mine has to be my bus.
1989 Ford B700 chassis w/ 65 passenger Wayne body
This thing has nothing fancy, but...
185 hp 6.6L Brazilian diesel
AT545 (column shift, baby)
air brakes (classic LOUD Ford brakes)
manual jackknife door.
I've modified it pretty significantly since I purchased it. It now sports:
turned up injection pump (just a little though...don't want to torch that tranny)
dual fuel diesel and straight veggie oil
a couch
a fridge
a 27 inch TV
surround sound
XM radio
PS2
sink, 55 gallons freshwater, solar heated
portapotty in bathroom, complete with "leak your lizard" curtains
3 burner cooktop with an oven, propane powered
insulated floors
carpet in living room, bedroom carpet soon to be replaced with laminate flooring
4 bunks with 6'6" long matresses
My own personal bedroom in the back with a twin bed and sweet dreams curtains, soon to have combination desk/entertainment center/dresser
300 amp hours of battery power with twin 750 watt inverters and a shorepower connection, 12 volt UPS units on all sensitive electronics that are tied in to the house batteries.
171 watts of well placed fluorescent lighting-this thing lights up like the sun and hardly uses any battery power.
I'm sure I could think of more if I tried real hard, but that's enough for now. |

1998 FORD /THOMAS Conventional (Front end or hood retrofitted with an 1993 FORD B700 piece, I just love that "square hood")
FORDSON 6.6, in line 6 cylinder engine (Very rare)
5 speed transmission.
Air brakes
I just love how air brakes sound on these old Fords.
The only thing I don't like about FORD Buses is how they stick with that old dash they carry over and over. ewwwww

12 volt power outlet
All exterior mirrors heated

Dual windshield wiper switches
Transpec Model 4000 Double Pole with Extrusion crossing arm

I don't think the CAT C7 comes in 300 hp... At least for school buses anyways.
The All American RE is indeed available with the 300hp C7. http://blue-bird.com/brochures/all_am_re_cat.pdf |

| My most favorite bus that has been ever built is the Thomas FS65 with a 210hp MBE (Mercedes), push button Allison Trannie, air, brakes with air ride. I am currently driving a 2001. But my 2006 (the last year made) was the best. Still trying to get used to the C2's. |
