You're right, that's a good looking coach, too bad it's in Flippin AK instead of Effen Idaho.

Ok I don't know much about the classics but this one is 2 hours from me. If I guy bought it right are the parts from one in demand?

It would be a shame to part a great looking coach like this out. This would be a perfect candidate for a re-Newell, updated interior and drive train. These coaches were designed for a million plus miles.

Marc, if you buy it for parts ill take the body, just need to get it to the shop to take the engine and trans out.

I would suspect that it's worth more as as is, than in parts!

The interior is very similar to my 76. Made to last.
