DESCRIPTION:

When featured in Bus Conversion Magazine in April 2014, Bruce Fay wrote that "The attention to detail was amazing." This 1984 Eagle, converted in 2004 with a Wild West 1890's Train Car Theme is a one-of-a-kind luxury coach, which is a fully functional and efficient living space. Decorated in rich colors of Gold, Burgundy, Black and Red, you are transported from the moment you lay eyes on the Iron Horse. The parlor is complete with an antique fainting couch setee, a dining table with 2 chairs, a smart TV and Sony speakers. Custom leather driver's and passenger's seats, a Garmin, CB radio and an antique safe, make the Captain's Driving Quarters comfortable and efficient. This 40' converted Eagle comes completely furnished with everything you need to live aboard and is ready to roll. Two twin beds sit at the rear of the coach with a one-of-a-kind painted mural on the back wall, which is a show-stopping piece of art on its own. Details like gold roll-down shades and marble floors in the bathroom really set this luxury coach apart. This bus was built and maintained by a Professional Mechanic, and the Engine and Generator fired up on the first try. The A/C blows cold, and everything works. You will travel in style and arrive like a rock star. Owner's wife recently passed and he is not interested in keeping it any longer. Owner's daughter is living in the bus in Gadsden, Alabama and is helping owner with the sale of the Iron Horse. For questions, please contact Jimmy Clay, Sr. in Minor Hill, TN at (256) 431-0607 or Tina Morrison in Gadsden, AL at (850) 377-5603.

Overview: If you are in the market for a good running classic bus, our bus may be just the ticket. It has an 8V71 Detroit Diesel engine with manual 4-speed Spicer transmission.  The engine has no noticeable blowby, and oil leakage and consumption are minimal. The radial tires on the bus are approximately 15 years old but have good tread and minimal weather checking. The bus easily cruises at highway speeds, and fuel consumption is approximately 7 to 10 MPG depending on how hard you drive it.

The PD-4106 coaches are referred to as the sportscar of busses for good reason as the body and frame are mostly aluminum and the engine has plenty of horsepower. All operational gauges and lights function correctly. Air system maintains 120 PSI. The front drivers side settles faster than the other sides when parked, but maintains perfect air while driving. Likely will need that airbag and/or valve replaced in the future. The parts to fix this are inexpensive. ($20 for airbag and under $50 for the valve). Bus is priced with this potential fix in mind.

The bus has no odometer, so I have no way of knowing how many miles are on it. For RV systems, it has two Onan generators with low hours (less than 300 each). They are older units and we've never tried to start them. Bus comes with working fridge, sink, bunk beds with organic mattresses and any furniture present in pictures. Shore power consists of two 30-amp cords/circuits and there are functional 110-volt outlets inside the bus for the refrigerator, lamps, etc. The bus had basement A/C units, but they are non-functional.

The 10-gallon electric water heater works and there are two large holding tanks. One for fresh water and the other for black/grey water. Has toilet installed and plumbing line for shower drain is present. The exterior is in excellent shape. We bought it in May of this year and besides driving it down to Missouri from Wisconsin, we have only driven it on a couple practice sessions. It is parked in a paid RV and semi storage lot in Dupo, Illinois.

Our plans and finances have changed due to us both being injured recently by a hit and run driver on the interstate, in our now totaled SUV. We have decided to use our time and energy that would have been on our bus and travels on furthering our education for new career goals. The previous family we bought it from had it for 4 years and camped in it all over Wisconsin and parts of Michigan and Illinois. We were told it was maintenance well by a local diesel shop as well as the owners. It was maintained by the man we bought it from, who was a professional bus driver.

The bus was originally a passenger stagecoach for the Sedalia-Marshall-Boonville Stage Line. Most of the PD-4106 coaches were originally Greyhounds. The original RV conversion was professionally done directly when the coach was decommissioned by the stage line. I understand the bus had previous owners who used it for bluegrass festivals. Please message if you have questions. We won't respond to general inquiries such as "Is it still available" and I won't accept casual offers. No trades.
