'94 BMC 39K

[Steve Pfiffner]

I remember when this coach was on VintageBirds for sale 8 months ago or so.
It was aggressively
priced then (memory says low to mid 50's), it sold quite fast. I remember it
because of the DataStorm
dish. I wish it was closer to me because I think its a deal potentially.

We, for the most part, don't know what money is changing hands on
these coaches. We also don't know the condition (other then what is
evident by picture or description). This does seem like a good deal
but until a person touches etc ya never know. Perhaps these folks
have it priced to sell, not to just sit and wait. I'd hate to be
lookin to sell anything in the RV market today.

The owner has posted about the sale a couple of times in the BMC forum. First:

I wonder how that bus would perform. I am not in the market (but who
knows down the road) there are things I like about the BMC's but I
noticed a couple things which I would want to consider. Power being
one. That coach is about 7 tons heavier and 100 hp more the "The
Napper" and one of the reasons to even consider moving up would be to
be able to climb hills a little better. The comment was made about it
climbing hills with ease or something similar. My thoughts are I
might not be all that much better off. Boy, if I would move I would
only want to do it once and for a BIG improvement. So, although this
is a good price I am not certain that there are as many pluses as I
would need to move. So how do these 300 hp cummins run down the road
for you guys who have had more then one BB?

John,

weight seems to be 31,000lbs compared to an '87 FC35 at 34,000lbs,
looks to me like with similar power (300hp) the BMC has a slight weight
advantage and an extra gear, they could be correct on the performance
claim.
