Got it finally. Thanks! Took 45 minutes to sort through Yahoo's nonsense. Where does the information on that list come from? B&C co. documents? DMV?

Tovinman had a few records he got over the year lot of his stuff was just hear say he posted I didn't even know he was still trying to keep the old board running him and Pete the Eagles Bus Nut board started those things in 1999 another guy had the Eagles Bus Life on Yahoo fwiw  

Trailways never sold those buses off till they were 10+ years old.Tovinman was on this board years ago he may be still around here he could tell you where he got the info but I really have my doubts about the Chubby deal that would have been around 1978 before he bought the bus and he already had a later model MCI but stranger things happen with buses Dan probably has the most accurate list he was a long time Eagle employee in Brownsville,the yahoo site has some good info but don't take it to the bank  

Life is short drink the good wine first

Like I said before, my Eagle history knowledge will fit in a thimble, but I do know that the Yahoo record for 19952 is correct.
Wee Willie Enterprises which lists my coach as a 1977, but in all likelihood not roaded till 1978 and so all of the records list it as a 1978.
As I understand it was one of the last made that year, consequently it has a lot of 10 parts, again I wouldn't know just by looking. I do know that the shift linkage for a manual transmission is still in place.
Besides if it's on the internet it's true, Bonjour...:)
I'm a French model too....
Were I conversing with Clifford or Daniel I would be listening.
