87 bluebird FC 35

[Markus Meyer]

Patty,



What is the matter with your coach that you don't want to keep it?



The FC is quite different from the PT, you may want to find someone local to you and check them out. For one, you can't get any larger than a 35 footer, and I see you currently have a 40 footer, unless you are also looking to downsize.



There are several FCs for sale via buybyebluebird.com, vintagebirds.com, birdconnection.com, etc. Some of them in Florida. Have you checked them out?

Markus

Hi Curt, We don't want to think of it as stepping down, but adding to but wanting it to be reliable. How far is Ahaheim from Torrence? I still haven't gotten a call from the seller at this point. Maybe I should just call him back. I appreciate the offer to look at it for us. Let me check out the details and I will get back with you.

We are contemplating buying one. It sounds great and looks okay from the photos but is located in CA and we are in FL. Are there any inherent problems that we need to look out for? Is the FC cat 3208(?) i think, a good engine for this vehicle? We plan to take it all around the country and want something dependable but can not afford the high end newer coaches. It has only 88,000+/- miles but have been told that is not necessarily good, as it means it has sat a lot. Just trying to be objective and not wanting to jump off the deep end and have regrets. Thanks for any info you can give. The steps don't work but have also been told this is not a difficult fix. Patty Austin 88 Wanderlodge 40WB

I am watching this thread with some interest. I tried to contact that seller
several times a month ago via phone and email and got no response. I took that
to mean the coach had sold. Good luck with your search!!! Esmi

Hey Markus, We have been checking out the older ones for awhile and have looked at some. Mostly really tired and worn out looking. For the age, looks, price etc the one in CA is really nice and the seller said it does not look old and tired. Although I have made trips to find what looks good in pictures only to find out they don't even look like the same vehicle sometimes. Pictures can be very deceptine and so can people. CA is a really long trip to possibly find out the same info, but really worth it if it's what we are looking for. I don't want to have to remodel one after I get it, Just update it a little.
