New member - hi, and a pre-purchase question

[Greg Young]

Hi everybody - Been lurking and absorbing for a few days now. We're Greg &
Barbara Young in Escondido CA (near San Diego). We are about to go empty nest,
sell the house, and live in a Bluebird (or so goes our plan!). I'm a former
high tech marketer guy with Compaq and Sony, and a video producer by profession
currently. Barbara is a massage therapist (and very good at it, which is of
much comfort to me!)

We're in the market for a mid to late 80's pusher, most likely a PT40. We'll be
buying sometime next week, hopefully. We've looked at one in person and several
others via photographs, ermail and phone, and believe that we really want white
or off-white interior since this will be a live-in and we'd prefer the
brightness and apparent spaciousness that lighter colors give.

So, my initial question to the group is -

Has anyone ever tried to change the color of existing cabientry? Is it
prohibitively expensive, impossible, or just rare?

If anyone knows of any 36-40' birds for sale under $100K with all white cabinets
and drawers, please let me know.

Thanks!
Greg

Hi Ernie - Thanks for the lead. Have inquired with the dealer. Price is pretty
high for that year, but looks good in pix.
Except for that moose. ;-)

Hi Greg,

I noticed your post and have a 1984 PT 40 for sale at $49,900. The inside is
cream exept
for the woodgrain kitchen cabinets and closets. We have had it four years and
just aren't
using it enough. The bus has 231,000 on it, but is straight and tight. The 6V92T
(green)
was replaced 78,000 miles back with a 6V92T Silver. There are three pictures on
the
Vintagebirds site. Ernie Ekberg and Ralph Fullenwider have both seen the bus and
can give
you an objective opinion.
