1976 MCI 8 I am the 2nd owner since conversion. Converted by Customized Land Yachts in S Windham, ME. All oak cabinets, rooftop AC units, new plumbing. Wrico Generator, Fresh 8V71 with 0 miles on it. All new front end and air bags work done by US Coach in Vineland NJ. Rubber has about 5000 miles. Runs and handles good and is a real nice coach. The clear coat on the paint is peeling and could stand some attention.
The reason I am selling this bus is because I don't need two buses.
