HI;
   Just looked up the history for MCI units.  I ahave angelfire.com
   as one site to check. Not too shure about that.  You might
   also try Motor Coach Industries.com.  Did not find your number
   #8350.   But mine is also not listed.  I am guessing mine went to
   Pheonix Az. when first delivered.
                                  Good luck.     Merle.

I have recently purchased a "new " 4107. I was interested in where it had been after moved from revenue service. I talked with a friend I work with and he gave me some forms< available at your local DPS office. You can get the registration information of every time the vehicle has been registered in your state. Cost is about $15 and you must state that you are the present owner and you are doing this search for safety . A plus in Texas is that the registration also has to have current odemeter or hub meter info. I am awaiting the great state of Texas to reply. Might be of interest to others. It supposedly will tell me where it was registered previous to Texas, then I can check that state. We will see and I will post what i was able to find.
