Years to look for

[Scott Forman]

You will want to check out http://www.vintagebirds.com, all the info on
model years is there.

Pushers weren't made until 82. Shortest pusher was 36 ft, 28 and 40
are much more common. I previously owned an 82 FC and now have an 86
PT38. Yes, the FC's are louder with the engine next to your knee,
but if it has good insulation in the doghouse it isn't much different
from a PT with the generator running. FC's, however, will not run 80
downhill with a tail wind. My PT with 8v92 will run that fast,
though I choose not to do so.

Good luck, there is nothing like a 'Bird
