Some FC 31 questions

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

--- Jonny:
I've had three birds...my current 90SP36 is wonderful and luxurious
and all we need. With that, my other two birds were 77FC33 and 80FC31.
Niether with levelers and air bags and I liked that.
I think 77-80FC were very well built birds..bulletproof!
Make sure the engine and tranny are OK and if so, you have a deal at
$19,000! Naturaly, you will have to fix some things, maybe brakes,
bearings, tires etc....BUT..after a few more grand, you will have a
bird that will last you a lifetime!!!
I loved both of my old birds but got the "hots" for a newer one!!!
I think the FC31 is a great little bird. My FC31 had a 4.88 rear
end, 22.5 tires and got 9-10mpg. It also cruised at 70mph ALL DAY and
would cut out on a strait away at about 74mph. It was fun to drive,
slept seven people if necessary and was a great bird for two full
timers.

Hank Hannigan..still chillin in Vegas
