Yep spotted an unknown 8700 series Flxible in Cheverly about a week ago. When I get a picture of it, I'll post it here.

"When you get a picture of it"

...does this mean that it's gonna stay there or keep coming back or did you already get a picture?

I HAD a pic of it but unfortunatly, I accidently deleted all of the pictures out of my camera. Luckily, I'm down the street from where it currently is, so I'll get another pic.

See if you can find out about ownership as well, or give us an idea of where it is located.

Up the street from Cheverly Station. I'll see if I can get a pic of it this week. I don't know if there is an owner or not but I'll see.

Agreed!  The body looks pretty good and sanded.  Definitely looks as they're planning to paint it.

Is it me, or does appear to be 2 different bus numbers?

There are the numbers in black, but in looking at the sanding work, there seems to be a different set of numbers.

46 are the numbers in black, but looking at the sanding work, it seems that
65 are the old numbers that were sanded.
Can't go wrong, with a classic ANYTHING!

Could be.  Perhaps that panel may have been replaced with one from another bus.

Thanks and you could be absolutley right. I'll definitly be there if and when they do. But it look like it's sitting kinda in a junkyard with some old MCI buses. My AFJROTC teacher owns a bus company near there called Eidson's Tours. Maybe he knows something abou 8746. I'll try to get in contact with him.
