    My dad was a Greyhound bus driver and i remember this sound and still today i know what an MCI 7 series is. Greyhound drivers back in the 70's and 80's were sharp dressed and took pride in their jobs. Thought it was the space shuttle when he pushed the button to fire it up!! Then pulling into the LA bus station downtown to pick up passengers was unbelievable!! I was then and still so proud of his career. He's still driving charter buses at 79 yrs old.

    These were the days when Greyhound was a much different company. The MC7 was the first Greyhound bus I rode back in 1974 when I went from St. Louis, MO to Cape Girardeau, MO. These were Greyhound's last buses they bought with a manual transmission.

    I remember riding these buses in the mid-70's, mostly between Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. They were fast, but the seats were a little narrow and just a bit uncomfortable. The MC8's had wider seats, and were fast, also. But nothing beats the Scenicruisers! The best seat was at the top of the stairs. You could see everything from there!

    +Kyle Northrop Only faster than +Trucker 2147 said it ... it should be like 1 - 2 on clutch pedal ... 1 push gets it OUT of first gear and allows the rpm's to fall when the pedal is in the UP position. and the SECOND push lets you get it in the next gear ... Anyway it takes lots of practice ... :o) I had almost 30 years of it, and I love it ...

    The MC-7 was the last of the Challenger series; the MC-8 was Crusader and the MC-9 Crusader II. Greyhound MC-7s built from fall 1969 on were Super 7 Scenicruisers. Their most distinctive feature was cantilevered baggage doors that stayed open on their own. Earlier 7s had old-style pin-open baggage doors carried forward from the MC-5 and earlier models. I don't know what other differences there were, or if Greyhound updated the early 7s to Super 7 standard. Those MC-7s built for other operators were built from fall 1969 on, to Super 7 standard.

    @moderndisco Yes... the MC6 was produced only for 1969-70 (two prototype units were produced in 1967) with all 100 units being made exclusively for Greyhound. Originally, these were all specified with the Detroit Diesel 12V71N engine and the Spicer 8845 transmission, but only the 85 units that were allocated here in the USA received Detroit Diesel 8V92T engines and Allison HT740 transmissions (the remaining 15 in Canada retained their original powertrains to the end) after rehab circa 1975.

    Most were called Super 7 Scenicruisers - those built from about October 1969 onward. Their most distinctive feature: cantilevered baggage doors that stayed open by themselves; earlier 7s had the older pin-open baggage doors. I don't know what other differences there were, nor if Greyhound ever updated any of their early 7s to Super 7 standard. All MC-7s built for other operators were built to Greyhound Super 7 standard, October 1969 or later. Yes, the 8V71 was a shrill-sounding beast. Add to that the loud, steady, sometimes waspish roar of the air conditioning condenser fan (which we don't hear in this video), and they were often NOT good neighbors! Nor were their GM or Prévost rivals, for that matter.

Prior to that Ansett Pioneer operated 35 PD4106's & 25 PD4107's all with 8v71 & 4spd Spicer manual transmissions. The philosophy was that manuals were much better on fuel. Locally built Dennings, Austral/Dominos, Ansair RFW's used 8v71 coupled with 5 or 7spd Fuller, or 6spd Spicer. Better gearing and they flew!!!
