Hey, Dave... I was curious... and a with a little Googling, I first found this blogpost on the Scenicruiser conversion:  Busforsale.com: The most Amazing Scenicruiser EVER!!!

And that led me to this video, with Pat McNeal (the owner) giving a tour, inside and outside.  It's very much a "home video" (complete with the camera operator turning the lens sideways!  )... but still an interesting look at his amazing restoration:

Pat, Many thanks for that video, I know it is off topic, but such an interesting work of art and detail for the old 57 yr old chassis.  Way above the norm for a converted ex Greyhound.
It is my understandng that this guy has two sons who he keeps in the World of Outlaws sprint car racing with competitive cars $$$$, He owns a large body shop in NJ I am told.
Thanks
Dave

You're welcome, Dave... it was fun have a look... and it is a fabulous conversion.  The exterior is indeed a work of art.  The guy clearly has $$ (but needs to spend a little on a videographer! )

Just another funny about this guy, he rides around the park on an old Cushman motor scooter, the model before the Eagle, it also run perfect and looked better than new.
A class act, This old dog shows better in person as most things do, the quality of the exterior is way above great.
