1970 pusher?

[Pete Masterson]

The 'history' page at Vintage Birds states that in 1969 "Produced 9
units that were a pusher type with a Ford gas engine, thirty-five
feet in length. Very rare." This may be one of those units repowered
with the 3208.

Looking at the photos, the cabinetry seems similar to that used in
the FCs -- but the cabinet handles look different that what I recall
for the vintage. (Look like home-style handles, and I recall a more
'boat type' look in the older FCs I've seen -- but I haven't seen
inside any FCs quite that old either.)

The paint looks very BB standard for the era and other features look
more "factory" rather than do-it-yourself -- unless a very good
craftsman was involved. I suppose the only way to know for sure is
for someone who's knowledgeable about 'birds of that vintage to take
an in person look.
