While driving around Dallas Texas yesterday I spotted a very nice looking Charter Eagle.

That is one sweet looking coach! This would make a perfect conversion as it's 102" wide and it's an Eagle, what can I say! ;D

Yip, she's pretty cool! Dan Lenz said it was a factory 7" roof raise, Bode entrance door, 89 or 90 Model 15. If I could, I'd have it just to drive it! ;D

Richard,

You must be thinking of my Eagle! ;D

I haven't worked on the gen set yet. It's one of those things I won't need until I need it! ;D

Been working on taking the exhaust apart so I can start building my hitch. Heck it took several hours to do what would have taken fifteen mintues if I would have had a torch! >:(

Paul,

You should have come to my house after the rally and we could have welded one up. How does that puppy sound without a muffler?

Funny you should ask. I was wondering the same thing while I was pulling it apart. I really wanted to fire it up but Becky was working. I did't want to feel a frying pan across the back of my head........... ;D

That was one of Wagoner Tours model 15's out of Wagoner OK he had 3 of those very nice buses, when he sold out the new owner bought new MCI 45 foot Renaissances buses because he was worried about parts for the Eagles

good luck

I thought there was a project ongoing to re-start manufacture of the Classic Eagles.  Anyone know how that is going?
