Eagle for sale...Thoughts Clifford, and other Eagle experts?

[John316]

I noticed this one on CL.

Clifford, and guys, is it worth this much? I am just wondering, I am not interested in it at all.

What about this one. Is it worth it? I might have a buddy that is interested in this one. Anybody know the guy who used to own it, or anybody know the bus?

John I can't give you a fair evaluation on these but can tell you some one will chime in soon,i can say there are no crumbs under the coach's, that could be a good sign LOL
You are lookin aren't you?

[Lonnie time to go]

Sorry not a eagle expert or for that matter any bus expert LOL
First one a little high priced for not being converted
Second one a country singer owned but for how long but still a little high if not converted
Third well too small

[John316]

No, Van, I am not looking. I got a buddy who is.

Thanks, TTG, that is kinda what I figured.

God bless,

John

John, on the first unit ('82 year), the 22 seats could dictate a CDL with passenger endorsement in many states

Not much to go on with the '73.  From what I see, it looks overpriced in today's market.  Can't be sure what the engine is - looks like it is probably and 8-71.  No mention of transmission type.  

Neither Eagle is set up for a couple wanting to spend a lot of time in it.  

The "GMC" is interesting.  I am not a GMC expert by any means, but I don't recall that they built a longitudinal engine bus in the 60s.  It looks much older to me.

Sorry that I can't be of more help

[John316]

Thanks, Jim.

Kinda confirmed what I thought...

God bless,

John

John, I was waiting for Joe Laird (akroyleagle) to comment on the Ramblin Fever coach he has one of their conversion and he probably knows the bus but it looks like the roof has been raised with new caps and windows with a few more upgrades may be over priced for today's market.
FWIW ramblin fever did do good work and used good stuff on their conversions

The 05 of Sammy's I saw at I 44 Bus Sales a few years back not worth the price he is asking




good luck

The GMC is a city transit, looks like a TDH-3501 (or 3502).  After the Fishbowl (or "New Look") came out, they were (and still are considered "Old Looks". 

They were built late into the 1960's, because the shorty Fishbowl (TDH 3301 & 3302) didn't come out until 1969.  The operative words for us are "city transit".  Low speed, city gearing.  Came in gasoline or diesel.  If I recall right, the diesels were Toro-Flows, don't remember what the gas jobs were.  That said, one of the companies I worked for back then had some, and they performed well in that application.

The fact that it's a transit, not a coach.  Small, no storage.  Low speed, low gearing (don't plan on much highway driving).  I would say that the list price is very, very, very wishful thinking by a factor of 10 (not $8,600, but maybe $860).

I saw the red Eagle when it was being converted at Ramblin' Fever. It was converted for a UW football fan to take clients as I remember to games. It was called the "Badger Bus". That was around '96 or '97 as I recall.

All the coaches that I witnessed being converted at Ramblin' were done excellent.

I have talked to one dissatisfied customer. He had no specific complaint but was unhappy in General. The owner of Ramblin' had a different story.

For what it was commissioned for this was a very nice coach. I would think it would be a total gut and rebuild for a MH.

Figure that into the total cost.
