Meet Mongo the new means of getting from A to anywhere
1966 MCI 8v71 Detroit Diesel, manual trans, 35 feet long, full bathroom, kitchen, Onan generator, 2 AC units, furnace, oven, microwave and more.
Needs fresh paint on top, tires and a little TLC but generally she runs nice, had her at 70 mph on US71 for a mile or so with no dramas
You lucky bas...
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find her, and how much.
One day the right deal will come along. Everything around here is either gold plated or scrap.
Beautiful.
Hah, that's absolutely nuts . Awesome, though, and a beautiful looking machine.
The plan is to put cars inside the bus, right?
I got it outside of Youngstown Ohio, I drove her 230 miles home, paid a princely $3700, cash talks and I searched for over a year until the right one came along.
Cars will go on the trailer, I have a 24 enclosed one lined up for purchase at the end of the season.
You have to love stainless steel.
PO was an honest upstanding guy, the vehicle was a family camper converted by his FIL years ago.
Craigslist win
SCORE

i'm thinking a scotchbrite pad would make it look cooler..
There is one of these for sale locally and I WANT IT.
Seats 96, 600 hp Man diesel, and 50' long.... which is technically over the USDOT legal limit for a single vehicle, but is a cop really gonna bust out a tape measure?
I just wish I could afford the $75000 price tag
HA! Really?
Is that going to tow to the Challenge? You better have the sweetest workshop setup in that thing!
So do you need a CDL?

In my state (Mississippi) I wouldn't dare the DOT enforcement guys at all. They bust out portable weight machines when drivers get sneaky. They take no crap.
I see where the fuel savings of going to the Hyundai are now. And you had better make the challenge, I didn't carry those tires for nothing!
