For sale on eBay '87 FC-35

[Eric Johnson]

Hello Jack,
I based my earlier remarks on the model year information on the Vintage Birds
website.
This discussion has reminded me that Bluebird production transitions features
from year
to year rather than making a clean break. The main point I originally wanted to
make in
the first message was that Bluebird produced turbocharged 3208 powered coaches
prior
to 1987. I'm no expert on this subject either.
Regards, Eric
