For sale on eBay '87 FC-35

[Eric Johnson]

Hello Mike, Randy and Company,

OK, I stand corrected on the hp/naturally aspirated/turbo/model year issue.
First, let me
say that I don't have my FC up for sale and don't intend to anytime soon. I
don't consider
myself the judge and jury on ebay or other ads, but I'd like to say a couple
more things
about Randy's eBay ad that prompted me to write about it.

One thing I should have said, but didn't, was that I thought Randy did an
outstanding job
of speaking to the pluses and minuses of his coach. Some folks tend to
accentuate the
positive and let you see if you can find the negative.

The thing that bothered me were some inaccuracies in the "historical note" but
more than
that was the idea of selling it by saying how superior it was to earlier models.
We all
recognize that engine horsepower and performance and coach size increased over
the
years. I'd just prefer that when we decide to sell a coach we do it by listing
it's pluses and
minuses but without trashing other models. I don't see it done often but I
thought it was
worth a comment. No offense intended.

Regards, Eric in San Antonio
