Sound System

[Terry Neal]

This may well be the same one Howard. It's 2 shades of green (medium &
a lighter shade) with a white separation stripe plus white roof.. Not
too bad but wouldn't have been my first choice for colors. The coach
has 60k on it & the engine & gearbox about 20k according to the invoices
for same. I bet it's the same as I talked to the factory & they
confirmed that it was built to the owners specs. I have the blueprints
& it's still the same as the day it was built inside.
