Possible Bird Restoration Project

[Curt Sprenger]

The coach, my opinion only, is not worth more than $5K maybe $7K. If you
are interested in this coach, make a VERY LOW OFFER. You can always make
another offer.

I paid $3,000 for a '74 FC31. The asking price was way over that. I
spent $15,000+ fixing it up. It was a gas engine, the diesel should be
worth a little more. I did all the work myself. If you can do all the
work yourself, that is a good thing.

The rust would bother me the most. All the other things can be dealt with.
