For sale on eBay '87 FC-35
"Historical Note: 1987 is the first year that Bluebird used the
turbocharged 300 horsepower CAT Diesel Engine in these coaches. Until that time, lower horsepower naturally aspirated engines, with much less power, were the norm. So, if you're looking at "vintage 'Birds" you really will like the added power of the 300 CAT, especially when you get into the mountains. It's one BIG reason to buy an '87 rather than an '86 or earlier model!" I dont see where Randy implied that earlier models were junk. His words " much less power" are truthfull. I would call 16.6 % to 25 % much less. As for the remark on mountain driving: I have seen this fact posted by many owners of the lower HP versions. I too would suggest to a wannabee that the 87 to 89 does have more power. However the earlier models do have that "Classic" BlueBird look. The earlier models are certainly not junk. Randy has been trying to sell this unit for a few months and I am sure he wants to see it gone. Anything he can do to make people want his unit is fair. Good luck Randy!! Bruce 1988 FC 35 |
