Title: Hello from Monatana
Post by: 34kw on August 15, 2014, 05:43:40 PM
Hello everyone. Long time lurker and just bought a bus (again) It's an Eagle Model 10 8v71 740 auto entertainer coach. The only pic I have so far is the one in my profile, no luck posting it yet. The wealth of info here is great and I appreciate all you guys that take the time to answer questions. I am curious about this bus if anyone is interested in looking it up. The VIN is 31345 Thanks

I live in Darby - south of Missoula about an hour. Thanks luvrbus for the info. I bought the bus with a blown 8v71 from my local truck wrecking yard and got him to throw in a good used 318 with jakes truck motor. I'm sure I'll run into some truck/bus issues when I put the motor in but I'm not ready do all work to put a big cat in there right now. The rumor that came with the bus is that Madonna used it as one of her tour busses when it was new. When the motor blew it was being used by a magician pulling a trailer with 2 tigers in it.
