I'm thinking this is the Detroit diesel and MCC chassis? That's all I can get from the VIN and google-fu. Google-fu says "stay away"?

I was excited till I realized it is on an MCC chassis with a 8.2 diesel

I spoke to the dealer this morning. It is an MCC w/8.2L DD. Miles are supposed to be actual, the folks that traded it in had it at a permanent site, then drove it infrequently on trips. They are supposed to be checking on the age of the tires/batteries/last service on engine & transmission. Depending on these items, while not the most desirable combination of chassis/engine, it may not be a terrible buy at or below the asking price.

So does this chassis have independent rear suspension too ?

Some additional information from the dealer:
The original binder with all the paperwork is with the coach - but it says "Regal" not Regency. Coach has new batteries but tires are about 13 years old (9Rx22.5 on alloys). It does have a diesel genset. No word on when fluids were last changed.

Seems to be priced right, but I think it will be too sluggish for us with our race car & trailer. Still looking for an 8.3L Cummins w/6 spd Allison!

Thanks for posting the dealer information. click here Craig, I have a request for you.

I like the price, really it seems in line for the rig. I'm also not averse to doing an engine and transmission swap, but the MCC chassis seems like a complete orphan, no parts to be had.

off topic - why does everyone assume a 5-digit odometer has never gone over 99,999? Just sayin'

Based on the "roof line profile" this is most likely a "Regal 34D SE". Could also be, but I doubt it, a "Regal 32D SE" if they measured the bumpers to give you the 34' length. The 1987 models saw only the following based on KBB and NADA

Get The "Data Tag Number"

Regal 22 ~ Regal 25 ~ Regal 28 ~ Regal 31

Regal SE 32D ~ Regal SE 32T ~ Regal SE 34D ~ Regal SE 34T

Regency 36RD ~ Regency 38RD ~ Regency 40RD

I will call the salesman I have been speaking to and see I he will shoot a picture of the data tag for those that have asked. Will post it up here if/when he sends it over.

From what I have read this is a non-turbo motor @ about 205-210 hp?

ok iv been reading this about the MMC chassis is there a problem with them just wondering like to know

And the data tag says...Regency!

Nice work Craig!

IIRC, when Barth acquired the MCC rights, the coaches were built by the Regency division which had acquired those rights.
