Did it look something like this? 8309 had a loose part too but got fixed later that day

Dang, what’s up with some buses having a few parts tryna jump in the street? I mean u got some buses with dangling light fixtures, some of the #1000s with missing grey panels on the bottom where the wheels are. LOL!!

So I saw something interesting while operating #1229 tonight, I noticed that the vin ID shows a manufacturer date of August 2007. I did some digging through the forums and it doesn't seem to make sense as far as when #1229 got delivered.

That actually sounds about right. End of 2006 into 2007 is when they really started showing up in earnest.

Damn at first I thought all buses #1001-1244 were delivered in early February 2006 while some may be secret year models. Example #6699 was actually a 2000 model and not 2001. #1229 is actually 14 years old instead of 15? shocking?

I remember ,#6541-#6549 came in real early along with the first 6400s. I wonder if it had to do with some defect or recall on the lower buses. Nova I believe delivered late and already had the first 150 built.

Interesting, that’s 9 buses in that range that came lol, they most likely start on random fleet numbers to begin with I believe, this made me wonder about #6699. didn’t #6699 come in around 2001 when the upper #6500s and #6600s started to arrive?

That's still odd then. All of the other 1200s I've had so far have had factory dates between Aug 2006 - Sept 2006. Why would #1229 be manufactured almost a year later close to 2008?

That is extremely odd to find out then, tbh it should of got delivered with the the rest of #1001-1244 in February 2006, all the upper #1300s to #1629 were 2007 models I think while #1630 and up are 2008 and 2009 models. It is just weird to see a low numbered bus get delivered sooner than expected.

Searched up “1229” on the forums and apparently that bus was active in March of 2007, months before what it says on the plate. Maybe it’s a mistake and should’ve said August 2006 since I have a feeling if it operated 5 months before the plate said, then I can tell that’s a typo

Or could have it been a panel swap from another bus

All of the #1300s are 2006 models, the first 2007 models start around the 1430 mark.
