I was trying to figure out a way to share the data base with all the members. I have tried to print it and then scan the pages as a picture to see if you can read it. Hope it turns out.

Nick,

Nice work.

Could you tell me more about unit 2678? I noticed that you listed a suspension instead of a chassis mfg. make and it also looks like it might be powered by a Cummins "Triple Nickel"

I see for my 2755 you put 8102 in front of it. For your purposes this is fine and keeps everything uniform, but technically there is only an s before the 2755. Barth # S2755 28fb3. The build date is lower on the tag.

Data tag 8906 3617 is a Regal SE on a Chevrolet chassis.

Bill, I am talking from memory but this coach was built for a person that had a used Hendrickson Forward Control Bus with a Cummins V555 engine. He removed the bus body and delivered the used chassis to Barth and they built a coach with "Regency like appointments" on his chassis. Do a search on Hendrickson on the web site and it will show this coach discussed several times before. There is also a PDF file on this coach on the Barth CD.

Danny, that is the liberty I took to make it conform to the others. I felt pretty comfortable doing this since you had given me a picture of the tag and the date was plainly visible. Chassis manufactured 10/80. Coach manufactured 2/11/81.

olroy, thanks for suppling missing information. Every little bit helps.

Nick, just making sure you were clear on this minor detail. Still wonder why mine is different from most all the others, but I think it might have something to do with the European target market. Or Iraq. Or the queen of England.

Danny, the main reason for my liberty was to show and prove that even though your tag did not have the first four digits if you knew what they would be and put them in that your sequence number of 2755 did fit between the time period of the tag numbers that we had immediately preceding and following your sequence number. And it does!!

Follow up on the Hendrickson
Built for Frank Lantrip
Delivered March 4, 1980

Unusual items:

• Seating arrangement had drivers and copilots seats then another row of 2 more captains chairs behind them. They called it an observation platform.
• 3 roof top air conditioners.
• Twin beds in the back with back cushions for extra seating.
• Dual 90 gallon fuel tanks. OUCH!!
• 4 air horns 2 large 2 small He wanted to be heard!!!

There is a note on the bottom of one page that the coach averaged 11MPG at 60 to 65MPH on a trip to Canada.

Nick Great job. That's my lonely C class up there. My missing info for 7411 1513 M19 is Tag Date 11-22-1974 and my vehicle registration lists it as a 1975 Barth on a 1974 chev chassis.

Dalton, changes made. There's is another C class that post occasionally but I don't have the tag number.
Thanks, Nick

Just an idea??
If you don't mind your screen name being included in the data base, send me a PM of which coach is yours and I will include a column for "Owner". The purpose of this additional info would be to let members know who has a coach with the same equipment you have so you could share information and solutions.

StaRV II is 9302 3852 28LE.

BTW, I see another, 9409 3934 30LK 30' Breakaway also with an AMG 6.5L TD engine listed. OEM was the GM 6.5L TD, and unless replaced, that would be the powerplant.
