I know the history of mine since the day it left the factory in Pa.
I'm sure your right in figuring I'll need to upgrade things, but I was hoping to discuss what (and where) some of the things I have go- or do-
Mostly (at this time) I am in need of some outside trim items-
I'd also seen the one on the "Bay" and contacted him.
He wrote in his ad he knows of some members from the old Brill club, but I don't know of any....yet.
Found an ad on Ebay for a 1947 Brill bus conversion. A guy named Ric is using the ad to reach out to other Brill fans and he can be reached at 425 418-0164 (the number is a cell phone in Everette, WA)
The Ebay ad is at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1947-ACF-BRILL-CONVERSION-CROWN-THIS_W0QQitemZ170016691886QQihZ007QQcategoryZ6728QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
ACF-Brill were the busses used by Baltimore transit up until 1967 or 68 (See http://www.btco.net/Vehicles/Brill/)
From the website I found, it looks like the Baltimore transit auth. bought busses to canibalize to keep THEIR Brill fleet running. You might have much better luck retrofitting rather than trying to restore.
You can buy old stock shares of ACF and ACF-Brill (http://www.scripophily.net/acmotcom.html), but I can't easily find an NOS manufacturer or salvage operation that advertises parts for a Brill.
I have 3 1947 ACF Brill C-36, 136 Hall Scott motors, I need a shop manual One has new refurbished seats and new wood doors, all estras, fare box clock ect. Need few hand rail celing hangers. Really need shop manual Motor has 4 stuck valves am taking head off. any help? Thanks.
I have two ACF Brill C-36 buses, circa 1946 or so. They have not been run in 30+ years. May be of interest to collectors/ restorers for parts or as whole project. Cleaning up our old farm, anyone interested please respond to email gpgauvin@sbcglobal.net asap by spring they will go to salvage yard.
I just bought two ACF Brill busses, that I believe are early fifties models. I haven't found a way to clearly ID the year yet. The busses do NOT run. However, there may be many parts that are of interest to collectors or anyone who restores these things. I operate a scrap yard, so if I do not get a reply within a few weeks at the most, these busses will be cut up.
If anyone is interested in parts, I can take pictures and email them to you. Reply to fyrefighter814@aol.com.
