Oh man, this is killing me. An 86, same paint, 36 diesel pusher, 30 miles from my place in SE Mi. I will have to look when I get back. What would my wife say... I saw another 86 same paint, 28 ft gasser in the CD gallery, so cute... Then I'd have all the 86 models... help me.

It is less than an hour from me if anybody needs me to eyeball it (and give it the sniff test ;^)

Is this coach in our data base? It would be nice to get a data plate photo for Bill. I won't be back to MI until early April.

(The high temp for Traverse City MI today about 82, Key West same!)

I will give him a call tomorrow and see if he will help us out with that.

Talked with him today,...super guy. He will be sending me a pic of the data tag shortly.

No responce as of yet so I will call him again tomorrow for the data tag number.

Any idea how many miles? Which chassis?

Funny you should ask about the chassis. I figured it was an MCC and he said it was a Regency Chassis from California. I said Regency was the model name and he said "I know but thats whay they named it a Regency, it was after the chassis" I didn't bother arguing about it as I would'nt know if there was ever a chassis manufacturer named Regency. It does have independent suspension so that pretty much guarentees it is a MCC. I do not recall how mwny miles are on it. Did not get in touch with him today as I dropped my phone in a puddle of 100% solids epoxy and the buttons don't work as well as they did before the bath

Not only that, my Breakaway is named that because it is on a Spartan chassis and MSU Spartan jerseys break away and the Spartan company is sort of near MSU

Sounds totally logical to me.

I think you will find that the owner of this coach is correct about the Regency name. The chassie for the MCC was built by Regency Products(renamed Regency Products Inc. after Barth bought it ) If you check the vin# for MCC chasssied coaches you will see they start with 1RPxxxxxx. I think the RP is for Regency Products. If you check the Data tag you will find they list built by Regency Products Inc. Some time around 1986-7 Barth started building coaches on Gilig and Spartan Chassies retaining the Regency name. There is a 1987 32' Regal SE for sale that has a Regency/MCC chassie.

Good stuff. Glad I didn't argue with the man.
