hey dog,
I used to drive entertainer coaches, actually owned some. My "OPINION" is that a coach like this would have been $300k plus when new. The 8v92 was the hottest thing out in bus engines and the Prevost was taking Silver Eagles title (as king) away.

1) Everybody here knows that big trucks cost more to maintain and repair than pickups/campers. Well Buses go to the next level, for no other reason than "because we can". In 1984 a Silver Eagle alternator was $1100. the same alternator for a Peterbilt (w/Detroit engine) $500. trust me I had to buy one.

2)you are probably close in the $500k

3)If i were in the market again, I would have nabbed it at that price. A friend of mine sold a similar Eagle for about $87k three years ago.

The big selling point for Kingsley Coach has always been, cheaper maintenance.
One man's opinion,
Doc Weaver
