The 1977 MCI 8 “Frosty” is a timeless executive day coach conversion by Custom Coach Corporation, offering vintage charm with functional updates and a spacious lounge layout. At 40 feet long and 96 inches wide, this non-slide MCI bus is powered by a reliable Detroit 8V71 engine paired with an HT70 Allison automatic transmission, which received a new valve body and shifter seal in 2023. Recently driven in commercial service, the bus has averaged 5,000 miles annually and has been kept in active, road-ready condition.
Recent improvements include new tires, house batteries, starter, air wipers, front air bags, and wheel bearings, ensuring a solid mechanical foundation. Inside, Frosty features a large executive lounge with swivel barrel chairs, booth dinettes (convertible to sleeping space), and a full rear galley with a Norcold refrigerator, microwave, ice chest, and liquor cabinet. The bathroom includes a vanity, lighting, and a toe-kick heater for added comfort. An upgraded AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth, surround sound system, and a classic Phillips TV with DVD/VCR round out the onboard amenities.
With just 2,848 hours on the Kohler 12.5 kW generator, a dual Copeland split HVAC system, and over-the-road bus air, Frosty is fully equipped for road use, mobile events, or even specialty commercial transport. Priced at $32,500 and located in Nashville, TN, this coach offers tremendous value for anyone seeking a nostalgic yet usable MCI executive bus conversion.
