78 FC SanDiego 5Grand

[bubblerboy64]

I don't think you can extrapolate much about the value of older BB's
on the basis of some of these adds. I think a realistic value for and
older FC is in the 25K to 35K range MINUS what it needs to make it
right. My suspicion is that this coach needs it all and I have seen
similar. In my search of a year ago I found a couple that I don't
think I would have taken for free due to the work required. This is
like looking at 55 Chevy cars. Some are not worth $500 but oh boy I
wish I could take my pick for 25 to 35K. So I would not worry too
much when you see these give aways. On the other hand I mentally
have written off my investment and I will enjoy the coach and look at
what ever it brings as found money. I bought what I could afford to
buy and into that I factored the resale value or lack there of. Life
is short enjoy. I plan to.
