MC-7 I have to sell - need advice on how/where to do it

[Dlsnow]

Tell me if you ever heard this story.
We bought this MCI MC7 in winter of 2012 and did the following
-removed the original side windows and replaced with double pane insulated windows
-Hardwood floor in the bedroom and front living area
-tile (real ceramic tile) in the kitchen and bathroom
-porcelan toilet and full stand up shower (no sink in bathroom)
-insulated the walls and ceiling
-better yet here is a blog with pictures of each step of the build

-this link has a few shots of the exterior in various posts of our family adventure

we built it for full time boondocking so it has
~200 gallon fresh water
~70 gallon black tank

the solar hot water and solar electric has all been removed

Mechanical / bus issues
-alternator siezed up and is removed
-clutch does not open
-reverse soleniod does not engadge

It is a Detroit 8v71 and aside from losing prime two times from being in storage it has started right up and runs like a champ.  Has normal timing and I think C60 injectors.

Driving it is obviously an art form at this point.  I dont mind driving it to whomever buys it and flying home.

I am super sad to see it go but have changed from vagabond family on the road to a family on a farm now.

I am not in a big rush to sell it but my wife sure is

As far as value is convcerned I have alot more invested than I figure I could get back but look for your advice on what these rigs go for.

I live about an hour west of Atlanta GA

We are technically literate and can post video, pictures and even give live video tours via skype or google hangouts.

Please advise

Hi;
   I would suggest placing an ad in BCM magazine and see what happens.
   As for a price, I would ask Mike Kadletiz for his opinion.  Mike has been
   dealing with buses for a lot of years and give you an idea or two. Don't
   have his phone number, but Gary at BCM can give it to you.
   I too have a 70' Mc-7witch has been parked for approx 6 years. In that
   time I have replaced   the fuel lines, replaced a few valves and did a few
   other things that needed doing.  The bus was parked due to a fuel leak
   between the aux and main fuel tanks. I primed the lines  and it fired right
   up a few weeks ago. Like to get it on the road again this year.
   You could also take time to fix a few things and enjoy it again. If you now
   live on a farm,  you have room to park it.   

                                                  Good luck,   Merle.

I too suggest posting it for sale in Bus Conversion Magazine.  I know the owner very well. He is a great guy and I highly recommend him/me. 

We would be glad to place an ad for your bus for sale in our Print magazine and our Online Edition.  I suggest a 1/6 page ad which costs $60 for three months. This size ad can contain up to 100 words and two photos. If your bus does not sell within three months and is still for sale, we will run it for an additional three months in our Digital Online Edition absolutely free.  Our Digital Edition is read by about 73% of our readers. 

We will also list your bus for sale in the Classified Ad section of our website where it will run for up to 12 months. We will also post a note on the Forum to draw attention to your ad.  All of this is covered in the price of your ad.

Because we are all about buses, the majority of our readers are either bus owners or bus wannabee's so many people looking for buses for sale look to our magazine and website when purchasing a bus. Our website gets over 1 million Page Views each month so your bus will get a lot of attention when you advertise with us.

Email me at Gary@BusConversions.com or call me at 657-221-0432 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM (PST) and I will work with you to provide your bus a good home. 

BTW, my first bus was an MC-7 powered by an 8V92 and had a 250 gallon fresh and a 250 gallon gray/black holding tanks and was modified to take a trip to Alaska.  Before that, according to the previous owner it was originally owned by Peter Pan.  If you know who Peter Pan is, you are the average age of the majority of our readers.
