Green Lines 96 Posted February 11, 2019 Share #26 Posted February 11, 2019 On 9/28/2018 at 6:28 PM, East New York said: Not to nitpick but this is what it should be, by date of manufacture. However, according to model year 8750 and 8751 are 1996, 9250-9349 are 1996. 9350-9524 are 1997. 4900+ are 1999. 1995: 8750, 8751 1996: 8752-9294 1997: 9295-9524 1998: 4900-5104, 9525-9699 1999: 5105-5249 1999 hybrid cancellation: 6360-6364. Pilot buses 6360 and 6361 were built. I agree, but there are no plan to change the windows at this time. 7018 still has a 6v92. I don't know where that rumor keeps coming from. Sounds just like my ex-OCTA RTS did. 10001 was originally supposed to be 10000 but another agency slipped an order in and persuaded GM to make their bus the 10000th off the line. Love that damn bus. I recently found pictures online of GBL 10001 from 1985 with the original Green Stripe on it. The original number supposedly was going to be 221. Its great how they decided to keep that bus so long. Off topic, but I also found a rare picture of GBL 1002 next to 10001 in 1985. Rare because 1002 was the only 1979 GMC RTS-03 to have the smaller "Bee Line style" AC Unit added on in 1984 or so. The rest of the slant backs at GBL recieved a more standard square AC Unit in 1987-1988. 1002 also seemed to be the first to be scrapped in maybe the early 90's? Possibly due to the AC Unit on it. The rest of them ran until 2000 or so not counting the ex-Jamaica Bus ones which left earlier. On another note, I wonder what happened to 1012? It used to be at varsity until maybe a few years ago.

Pac-Man, with Alcoa’s I have a model from that era with the new branding. Gleason had a few Diesels brand new at delivery. This is 452 courtesy of @Novabus 5000 I should build 317..... Or have him do it for me...... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
