The 35' F-Series MCI coach

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

Has anyone ever driven or converted a 35' F-Series MCI coach? Would you enjoy this bus as a conversion?

Read all about this coach here in an old issue of Bus World magazine on the BCM Blog.

When did they start making these? Would like to downsize from my 40 footer as I'm getting older. I missed the part where it tells you the price. Guess if it ain't listed, you can't afford it.

Not sure of the price new but it was "very attractive" and I heard they are not even building them anymore. But part of the reason for my post was to learn more about them.  The J3500 replaced the F-Series.

Here is a used F-Series going for $75K.  https://www.rvt.com/Mci-MCI-F3500-2001-Cullman-AL-ID9104399-UX175156

I saw one for sale a few years back that had 3 slides . I liked it but at the time it was over 200 k used . to much for me , but I am sure the price today would be far less
not sure the 50 series would be enough power at that weight

The F model failed.

Only offered for a few years, it was far from up to MCI standards.

Parts will be a devil.

Happy coaching!

The F was a Mexican built Dina with square tube totalistic suspension ,I think the new J3500 is a electric coach I read some where

The F3500 was only built for 4 years 2000-2004. It had a choice of the CUMMINS C8.3L or DETROIT S40. Doesn't say that it was ever offered with the rough S50.
The J3500 is not yet available as an electric.

I never saw a F in the rv configuration there was one here in Laughlin that was a day coach owned by the Ramada with the series 50 wasn't a smooth riding bus but cute
