Wharf RatIt's official I own a Barth Coach!!!
She drove sweet all the way home, three hour drive home. So strange, no engine noise when on the highway, none, being all the way aft, all new to me. I'm very happy, she runs like a top, so smooth and quiet like it's electric when on level road at 60. Not a rocket ship by anymeans, but faster then I thought it would be from a stop, slows to around fiftyeight on the steep grades.
All and all I think she's sweetheart and I think her names going to be "Baby Baby"
They were right about that suspension, she handles like a dream, tracks perfect, not a rattle and stays flat on the bends and quick lane changes, like a giant sports car!
OH BABY BABY !!! She has been babied all her life and thats my plan, treat her nice, and be easy on her.
Pics coming tomorow!

I'm going to see that Grand Canyon......and I'm going to do it in style!

Congratulation on the acquisition of Baby-Baby. Sounds like a sweet ride. I know you will always be vigilant of the temp gauge and being very mechanically gifted you'll have fun. Welcome to Barth Ownership. Do we own them or they own us??

Moonbeam-ExpressFor what its worth, the only ones that don't have clear coat issues were ones that never got clearcoat.
She looks great, nice lines. Will you paint her or leave her a survivor?

Wharf RatThanx Corey, I think she'll stay the way she is. My nephew may have other ideas though, if I know him he would want to sand with 600 grit and put the clear to her. Myself I kinda like things with a nice piteenah? you know what I mean.
Peace

For me, that would depend on whether it is stored indoors or outdoors. Given a choice, I would never have a clear-coated vehicle sitting out in the sun.
Of course, Maine sun is not AZ or CA sun, so...........

bill hLove your interior! As I said earlier, that is my favorite Barth layout and cabinetry.
Layout and cabinetry is pretty much like ours, except we don't have a dinette, and are a little shorter.
