Patty,

What is the matter with your coach that you don't want to keep it?

The FC is quite different from the PT, you may want to find someone local to you and check them out. For one, you can't get any larger than a 35 footer, and I see you currently have a 40 footer, unless you are also looking to downsize.

There are several FCs for sale via buybyebluebird.com, vintagebirds.com, birdconnection.com, etc. Some of them in Florida. Have you checked them out?

Hi Curt,

We don't want to think of it as stepping down, but adding to but wanting it to be reliable. How far is Ahaheim from Torrence? I still haven't gotten a call from the seller at this point. Maybe I should just call him back. I appreciate the offer to look at it for us. Let me check out the details and I will get back with you.

Patty & Ernie,

I may have missed something...why step down to an FC?

I live in Anaheim, CA, and I'm willing to take a look at the FC for or with you.

Hi Ernie,

It is located in Torrence. I ask the owner the closest airports and he said LAX and some other so I am figuring it to be in that vicinity. The owner is suppose to call me today for some details and I can get the exact address from him then.

Hi all,

If anyone has any information on a 87 Bluebird FC35 it would be most helpful. We are contemplating buying one. It sounds great and looks okay from the photos but is located in CA and we are in FL. Are there any inherent problems that we need to look out for? Is the FC cat 3208(?) i think, a good engine for this vehicle? We plan to take it all around the country and want something dependable but can not afford the high end newer coaches. It has only 88,000+/- miles but have been told that is not necessarily good, as it means it has sat a lot. Just trying to be objective and not wanting to jump off the deep end and have regrets. Thanks for any info you can give. The steps don't work but have also been told this is not a difficult fix.
