About Fun Fleet Bus #2650

This bus was purchased from a private party and completed the roster because very few 4519s were built with a standard transmission. I bought this bus from a bus fan. It was parked and hadn't been used for a long time. I got it running and discovered it had cracked heads. I decided to drive it home to Perris anyway. If it broke down it would be a cheaper two wherever it failed. But it didn't fail. I watched it like a hawk and it went al the way back to the yard. It did, however, blow out a front brake diaphragm near Coachella, CA . eventually I rebuilt the engine and decided to change the rear axle. After that I had it for more than 20 years and didn't give me anymore trouble.
