interior looks too white for me! good to see the value up though.
Looks very clean and nice to me.
I thought an 87' was a wide body..

Actually the interior leather is a bone color not white or even off white, the pictures made it look white, probably due to my limited photography experience. The interior really gives an open feel to the coach, many of the pre 90's coaches had dark finishing and created a closed in feeling.
very nice looking classic.

Jimmy, the wide body began during 1986 BUT in typical Newell fashion, that doesn't mean that ALL Newells made after that were wide bodies.  I believe Jon & Chris have a 1986 that is a wide body but Brian's is definitely 96".

Thanks .. Didn't see the extra glass.. I got it... All Different.. (:-)
Luckily we have Michael to keep things straight. I know that my 40' '86 widebody doesn't have a tag axle, and a 40' '87 widebody I looked at did have a tag axle, but don't know if there is a 'rule' that we can go by.
In 1986, the wide body became available ONLY on the 40' coaches. In 1986 a tag axle was made available on the 39' and 40' coaches BUT they could be ordered without the tag axle. Although my records are progressively more limited with each year prior to 1990, I know of at least one 1987 40' that does not have a tag axle and at least one 1988 that is a narrow-body.
