This is a 1977 Gillig. They quit making these classic busses in 1982. They continued on with the Gillig Phantom till 1994. I will definitely keep these coming! Thank you for your interest.

So I am assuming they keep these really old buses for history pieces. They just keep them running

By looking at the shifting pattern, it turns out to be on these Gilligs that some had what are called the "Reverse" style shifting pattern. Like in order to put the shift lever into 1st or 2nd, instead of bring the lever towards you and forward, you push the lever away from you and when you go from 3rd into 4th, you bring the lever toward you and back. I wonder how many were built with this kind of shift pattern and how many were built with the shift pattern many of us are used to?

I am no expert here, but what I believe is that the shift pattern depended upon what tranmission the customer ordered, I've seen shift patterns both ways, clockwise and counter clockwise. Of note, I only saw a bus driver use low 1st one time ever when we were on a rural mountain road on a special field trip, otherwise drivers started in 2nd gear

No. They are collectible historical vehicles
