Special request for a Bird wannabe

[Jeff Miller]

The mid-entry pushers (which I also prefer) were built '95/'96/'97.
The other mid-door pusher would be the '89-'92 SP36 96" wide single-
axle pusher.

database built up from the various sites showing 30 PT40s between
1988 and 1996. Since that point on a US swing we visited Holland in
Michigan, Snyder's in Virginia, Bleakley in Georgia, and Motor Home
Specialists in Texas, where we got to see a goodly number of Birds
in person.

unless they did some custom prior to that. Since August 1, I'm only
aware of one mid-entry PT40 for sale, in Missouri. Listed at least
since early July. On Friday, when I became financially able to
negotiate in earnest (a few months earlier than expected, some
things fell into place) I called the guy, and he sold it Thursday.

to consider making an insulting offer. $184K for a '94? $150K for
a '90? I don't think so.

but I need some eyes-on with it. I'm leaning towards using a
professional inspection service, but I would also love to get a PT40-
savvy person to look at it. If there's someone who combines both,
I'd like to talk to them.
