The Road Cow is a late bus ............... it has a Toyota engine in it.
Search "road cow" in the archives I'm sure you'll find a link to
pictures.
Road Cow is currently owned by Britt Granis ................. he's been
abusing it pretty bad pulling busses from West to East coast.
Someone may have cloned it.
