eBay PT 40 - Anyone familiar?

[Ryan Wright]

I have some other concerns on this, wondering if someone can help
clear them up. I've got a dialog going with the seller but it appears
to be a consignment thing with an RV dealership - the seller is not
the owner - so I'm not sure he knows much about this coach.

1. Big concern is the capacities. Seller says 100 gal fresh, 40 black,
60 grey, and 210 fuel. Vintagebirds.com tells me an '85 PT should have
136g fresh, 82 grey, 82 black, and 300 fuel. I'm guessing either the
seller is misinformed (most likely) or the coach has had significant
modifications for a reason I probably don't want to hear. Since you
folks know much more about these Birds than I, can you think of any
normal reason this coach would have smaller capacities?

2. I already asked my A/C question but I'll put it here again: Would
converting to roof mounted units be a reasonable weekend project, or a
huge undertaking? Any thoughts on the cruise-air systems from someone
who has owned them?

3. I love how some of these coaches have a pair of sofas up front. I'm
guessing it would be trivial to replace the two front chairs &
mini-table with another sofa?

Thanks to all for your time,

-Ryan
