Of course there are also at least 2 Documented Aristocrats. From what I have seen it is a rename of the Breakaway to go with the Monarchs and Regis. My Coach is titled as a Breakaway because in that year NADA had no option for Aristocrat. Insurance companies don't like to insure things they can't see. My documentation is posted and shows it as an Aristocrat.

I also noticed there are no Breakaways listed in the NADA until 92. | |||

Are the 90-91 Regency's with the Gillig chassis air brake and air suspension? | |||

Yes. As are the Regencies on Spartan chasses.

If someone wanted to update a 3208 to a Cummins B or C would there be space for it? Were talking a short V8 verses a straight 6. I know this is a problem with the Bluebirds up to 1992. Detroit Diesel 6V and 8V series are much shorter than the modern sixes. | |||

Having been under Nick Cagle's 32' Regency with the 3208, the driveshaft is quite short. I don't think there's any way a C8.3 could be made to fit. However, the Spartan Regencies had the C8.3.

That's what I figured. The Spartan chassis probably has the rear axle moved farther forward to accommodate the straight 6. Not that I have an issue with the 3208,just wondering. | |||

Hope I don't get the boot for this question but what are opinions out there on the the HMC's? Compared to Barth. | |||
