I can't seem to be able to resize these pics on this iPad, but it looks like you can drag them around to see the entire pics here.

Maybe so... Stepping into this bus is like time warping to the days when "The King" was still out on tour.

. We kind of like the '70s funkiness, though.

Elvis, that is one nice looking coach, don't see how you could pass that up! interior is a bit dated but we are living with that too. We have a 73 MC7 combo that was a marathon coach conversion done in 1987 and things are still working well. I like yours in that it is original, ours has been modified a bit with different caps. we have had some projects but no disasters yet. go for it I say!

Good pix, shows tube type rims on drive, also a very early 7, maybe about 1969 with those style bay doors. Nice looker.
Would be interesting to see pix of each bay layout, water, generator etc.

That is one good looking coach!!

Looks like it may have a engine heating problem I see the band aids on the side, nice coach though

Love it! I really like that it is all stock outside, and inside around the driver at the front. How about the phone beside the driver! Looks so good. I don't like that ladder, I would remove it. Go for it. I would if I was looking...

Oh and loose the mud flap hanging off the bumper. It prevents heat from escaping the engine compartment. And remove those ugly ears on the radiator intakes. They don't do any good.

100% agree. Love the stock look. Ladder ugly and good to know about the flap.

the amount of times I have used and wished for a ladder would out weigh it's assumed ugliness, just sayin.

i think the mudflap/heat equation is a myth

Have no idea what he is asking for the 7 but I know of a MCI 9 with a 8v92 a Marathon factory conversion with 200,000 original miles in Texas that can be had at a good price
