1980 - 1985 (35FC) or 1985 - 1991 (40PT)

I have decided to buy a Bluebird. I have a total of $90,000 that I
can spend on a coach, of course I would like to spend less.

After doing a lot of surfing around on the Net, I discovered that I
can buy a good 80-85 35FC for around 40K. Or a good 85-91 40PT for
around 80K, about twice as much.

I intend to go full-time on what ever coach I get.

At this time I would very much appreciate the input of others here
who have experience with these models. I wonder what the differecne
would be in cost of ownership between the older 3208 cat and the
bigger detroit 8V92. Of course I prefer the larger coach for it's
livability, but I am concerned over the cost and ease of ownership
between these two models.

Thank you very much in advance.
