I spotted 8720 parked in Northwest Baltimore off of Belvedere Avenue across from my cousin's club. It's in a bit of bad shape but seems runable.

Great find!! It's nice to see those buses still kicking around.  It looks like it was used for something else or they're preparing it for that with the way the side looks.

It needs some work. The wheels were rusting out. The interior looked in a good condition. I don't know about the engine or tranny. I did want to get that run number box and that P/R box as souvenirs.
