Regencies on the Gillig Chassis usually have a Cat 3208 at 250 or 300 HP (one has a Cat 3116). Regencies on the Spartan chassis usually have the Cummins 8.3L at 240, 250, or 300 HP. IIRC, the BMC has an Cummins 8.3L on a Bluebird chassis.

In either case the idea is quite staggering. - Arthur C. Clarke It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I've been searching thirty years to find her and thank her - W. C. Fields |
11/12 Location: Harlem, GA Member Since: 09-17-2007 Posts: 1732 | posted The BMC was built for only 3 years starting in 94. It only came in one length 37ft. It was only built on a Spartan chassis with a Cummins 8.3. The BMC will be some what heavier than a Regency due to the steel verses aluminum construction. Nick |
Location: royal oak michigan Member Since: 09-07-2013 Posts: 27 | posted show with all that said a barth regency with the Spartan chassis with 8.3 would be fairly close to a bmc ??? chris |
