I'm might go see here just because it's another Eagle! Rough or not, I'll take it all in.

I figured since you, Peabody, had another coach it was just a dream anyway.

Gotta add some Eagle Picutres to my albums!

Truthfully how many Goldens are left and driveable. It is worthy of a look see right.You are right I do have a coach not a bus but I got as close as I could what is missing is metal skins the guts is bus.That's my final answer and I'm sticking to it.lol
If you go plz take pics I'd like to see better ones than what they took.Big Hugs Peabody

Peabody,

The 01 was parked at Paulsbows yard in Kent. It was parked along the northbound side of the freeway in their sales yard for sometime.

Everyone views these things in their own way. There are certainly enough 01 parts there to give someone with a pot of gold a great start on an 01.

It has been a year since I looked at this coach. If my poor memory is right, it needed rubber and brakes soon, had a water leak around the radiator that they were working on and needed both sides of the water changed out for something better.

I think the drivers seat was a worn out air ride truck seat and remember nothing about the rest of the interior because I think I thought it was pretty much junk yard stuff, could be wrong, but I usually find something to like about any coach that I take back for my own use and I don't recall anything about this one.

Its possible that the 318 and standard 4 speed biased me from the beginning. I have gone that route, (05), its acceptable, but it is still something that is no longer good enough for me. Turbocharged engines are so much nicer.

You can buy alot of bus for $10 or $15 grand right now. Turbo engine, Allison transmission, aluminum wheels, etc. If you have $35 grand, you may be able to find an inline series 60 Detroit setup, check with Russ.

If the 01 is still here in Kent, I would go over it with you and try to see it from your eyes as well as mine, let me know.

I'm in agreement with you,I wouldn't pay more than $10,000 if that.I love the outside looks of this bus the inside is useless to me doesn't fit my needs at all.It was in the Kent yard when I first spotted it also,but didn't call on it till they had moved it.Not interested in buying that Eagle the inside work alone would break my bank plus I know of the rust that needs to be attended to but it is an Eagle so I guess that comes with the territory,lol.Paulsbo has had this bus for a long time I know,funny they hang onto it and haven't sent it to  auction yet.
