Don,
Thanks on the Champ. It is a true barn find, well hanger find, actually.
It comes with a full set of engine and airframe log books from the day it
left the factory in 1946, which is incredible. In digging through the
current history today I discovered it has been setting in the hanger where
Price is on the high side with the rebuilt title. Driver's seat has a cut on
it. Would also need to check the VIN for bad engine. If engine is good might be
within negotiating range.

I don't know what this guy paid, but if he paid full ask on the last add
of $2k, I guess he figures he will try to make $500. That last ad was
up a while from the previous seller. Hopefully this guy gets hung out
to dry on it.

You are quite welcome! I am glad you were able to find the time to go and enjoy
it. They have a festival every year around Labor Day weekend. To see cars like
these being driven and parked on the streets
If the engine is locked up that would be a $500 car, you could drop
something else into it and have a nice runner

There's a documentary on Amazon
Boys of Bonneville
about a guy who raced at Bonneville and set all kinds of records with a
Duesenberg, the history of the whole effort was really interesting.
It's a good watch and lots of historic info and commentary from his son
(or grandson, whatever)
Thank you Dimitri. on my bucket list for a long time.

Detroit Diesel is a very common engine on those older buses. A/k/a the
Screamin' Jimmy. Two stroke diesels. The EPA put them out of business as they
did air-cooled Porches and VWs.

Correct. The older Prevost all used the Detroit 8V92 engine, which means it
was 8 cylinders, V configuration, and 92 cubic inches per cylinder.
The early engines used strictly mechanical injection and timing, and in
their day there were very skilled mechanics who could make them sing a very
happy
And many of the ACD had Lycoming engines.

Yeah I figured as much, I recall those old diesels were 2-stroke and

Folks,
I think the Prevost is lovely BUT one of my bus company owning friends says
that the old Prevost have an environmentally nasty engine … maybe a two stroke
diesel
Dirty by diesel standards!

Watch some of the "Bus Grease Monkey" videos on YouTube to see what you're

Most recently someone bought an Eagle conversion that they paid "top dollar"
for and then discovered it was so rusty underneath that the engine was about to

On my 98 Jetta the starter is the front motor mount, or they share a bolt
anyway.
The engine ground also shares that bolt. I didn't realize it the time I took it
