While driving around Dallas Texas yesterday I spotted a very nice looking Charter Eagle.
That is one sweet looking coach! This would make a perfect conversion as it's 102" wide and it's an Eagle, what can I say! ;D

It sure is hard to beat the classic elegance of an iggle. Oops sorry, can I say that here? lol
Nice find Paul, so did you buy it for your next project?
Thats the Phamton 109 ;D
Yip, she's pretty cool! Dan Lenz said it was a factory 7" roof raise, Bode entrance door, 89 or 90 Model 15. If I could, I'd have it just to drive it! ;D
I'd say that is the pride of the fleet
Is that rust dropping on the ground at the back of the bus? oops, guess it's the tailpipe
Richard
Paul, Did you get your gen running?
Looks a LOT like the eagle I was negotating on when the wife decided we needed a MCI. Was for sale by a broker in Dallas.45' 8v92 5 spd manual, at least number 106 was.
I was just kidding, really

Richard,
You must be thinking of my Eagle! ;D
I haven't worked on the gen set yet. It's one of those things I won't need until I need it! ;D
Been working on taking the exhaust apart so I can start building my hitch. Heck it took several hours to do what would have taken fifteen mintues if I would have had a torch! >:(
Paul
Paul,
You should have come to my house after the rally and we could have welded one up. How does that puppy sound without a muffler?
Richard
Funny you should ask. I was wondering the same thing while I was pulling it apart. I really wanted to fire it up but Becky was working. I did't want to feel a frying pan across the back of my head........... ;D
That was one of Wagoner Tours model 15's out of Wagoner OK he had 3 of those very nice buses, when he sold out the new owner bought new MCI 45 foot Renaissances buses because he was worried about parts for the Eagles
good luck
I know how that works!!!!
I thought there was a project ongoing to re-start manufacture of the Classic Eagles. Anyone know how that is going?

It's still in the process, they just moved from Brownsville TX to Gallitin TN. That's the last I heard anyway, they have many, many trailers to unload.
I am guessing that was an Eagle 25 on the website? I think the 05-10-15-20's look nice but the 25 is just butt ugly. Reminds me of an S&S ???. Too boxy looking.
IMO,
Bryan
I'll stick with our 01, thank you very much! ;D
I would have to agree, the 25 is not my favorite either! :D
What part of Tn is that in?
They are also making new 15's and 20's. I really like the looks of a two axle bus:
