Looking at a 1985 Wanderlodge Bluebird 40 ft.

[bubblerboy64]

My opinion for what it's worth is that there is absolutely no way to put a price
on a coach of this vintage sight unseen. Condition means everything. I have a
36 PT for which I would not sell today if I was offered $75K. But realistically
if something happened and I had to sell who knows what I would end up taking.
If I was buying I'd pay $60K for one in near new condition. There are likely
some out there that I wouldn't take if they were free. I know that's not much
help but it's pretty much the entire truth.
