    I have one too. I am curious how many were built.  I read on another blog that there were 187 5c's built for saudi. Sounds a little short to me.

 I've got 1!!   79 5C with 6V71 automatic.. Its a Saudi model, rumored to be Osama's personal rlde!!!  On the radiator fill door there is a service sticker in arabic.
There are 10 more just like it in a salvage yard outside Buffalo NY.

i talked with the man out in ny. he still has the 10 mci 5c but he plans on crushing them in the near future. i have to find his number again and see if je can put some window frames aside for me. i would not mind going out there but its not cost effective. 8hrs one way.
thanks

I have a 80 5C. Mine spent its whole life in AZ for the Navajo Indians. I know there were a few others there and was told one is now a chicken coupe. Did anyone buy one from AZ bus sales.
Chris, I would like his # if you find it. I tried one on here but is was no longer good.                         Tom Y

Are you talking about NIMCO?  I know they had a bunch they were going to scrap.  What a shame.  I've had 4 over the years, two had 6V92 Turbos in them and we're real nice to drive!

Would the window frames from a 7 or 8 be the same as the 5C???

[tekebird]

not 7, off chance an eight, but i suspect you will find the 5's to be short in length

I remember picking up a brand new 5C in Winnipeg in '77 for Brewster's (Banff, Alberta), complere with skyview glass for sightseeing in the Rockies. They were nice, but they seemed guttless with the 6V71 and automatic, compared to the 5A's and B's that had the 8V71 and 4 speed Spicer. That was the greatest power to weight ratio we had in those days. Combined with the short 35 foot lenght, it was like a sports car, compared to the 7s and 8s. Ah... the memories...

my coach has a 6v92t. no power problems. it weighs in at 26000 lbs.

as far as the windows i have some from an eight. some of the side ones fit but the curved ones  front and back are to short.
