Baby Bird
I know, trouble is.... I want it...
I passed a Q-bus on the road today; what a stout vehicle. Very cool, didn't help to assuage my desires any. David B '02 LXi, Smokey NC Gregory OConnor wrote: > > The thing should bring less than 40K.

Baby Bird
Considering what a Sprint chassis class C brings, the little bird should be
worth 80 grand, maybe. Guess it depends on what the fuel mileage is. It's a nice little machine. Holland MI had a 36 Newell with a 892, Mr Olivers had one too. Seems they brought stupid money, around 200k, so who knows?

Baby Bird
My wife stopped by to see the "Baby Bird" on her way through
unadilla, GA. She said it is VERY nice, and is great shape. When she inquired about the price, she was FLOORED! 250K WOW. It must be made out of unobtainium. I guess the old adage "LESS is MORE" is true! The saleman sent her a link to some pictures, enjoy. Someone with DEEP pockets will have a nice "Short bus", but I think if you pay that much maybe you should be riding the "Short Bus"! http://picasaweb.google.com/Birdconnection/BabyBird Thanks Bruce Campbell "Blue Skies" '83FC35SB "I guess bigger isn't always better" --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Hohnstein" <MHOHNSTEIN@...> wrote: > > Considering what a Sprint chassis class C brings, the little bird should be worth 80 grand, maybe.

Oh maybe not fancy but still a baby bird. Now you could spend say 20,000 dollars you could have this retrofired to gain that Wanderlodge feel and still have 230,000 dollars to spend on fuel for the rest of his life. Oh yes that might be short on the dollars as far as fuel because of the way fuel cost are rising every second. Jon ![]() http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/1942...C01616.jpg |

Perhaps the dealer is unknowingly basing his price on the bluebook of
a Wanderlodge of the same vintage? Even worse if he is basing it on that knowingly to sucker someone who wants a Bluebird. Joshua Long 78FC32 unnamed but leaning towards MoneyPit San Antonio, Tx |
