FOR SALE: 1985 PT40

[Jay Darst]

Gang,

Am going to Hilton Head tomorrow to pickup my new to me, 1996 Prevost.

So, my Bird is for sale.

I paid $65k for it 4 years ago and can document $30k in updates and
upgrades. Most of the money spent is for parts and materials, very
little is for labor.

There are only 3 things that, I feel, should be addressed sometime
soon. The air compressor for the chassis should be updated, the water
pump should be replaced and the 1" heater hose in the engine
compartment and fender wells should be replaced. It does not show
signs of needing any of these repairs soon. These are the things that
I have not done.

3 new roof airs
new KVH S3 satellite dish
