95 ---42' hi-milage

[William D. Young]

That's funny! I have been wondering why I see so many BB's and others, such a Prevost, that have had the engines replaced with so few miles on them. I thought these things were supposed to run for a million miles or more without being replaced/rebuilt. What's up with that?

 

Birless, too, in San Antonio

In my quest for another BB I see there is one advertised for $85,000 on one web-site and the same bird on craig's list for $75,000. Reason this BB is cheap is. The origional series 60 engine blew up at 172,000 miles. The origional engine was then replaced with a Junk Yard truck engine with 750,000 miles on it! The coach today has around 175,000 miles. Owner state's it uses about 1 qt. oil /1000 miles. I don't know what the consumption of the series 60 is considered normal. My question is this , the musical horn's don't work, should I still take a chance on the horn's not being too big a problem and go ahead a buy it. Bob birdless in Illinois....
