First off HI everyone. New to the forum and a new Barth owner. I found a great deal on a 1989 Regal 25. I bought it from the original owners. This was thier second Barth. They also had a 79 21' before this one.

My unit has 83k on it but the engine has 51k on it. They had so much trouble with the 454 that GM replaced it with only 32k on it.







I have lots of docs on both the 79 and my 89 once I get my scanner. I'll get more pix after I get things cleaned up. I'm so happy there is a great community here and look forward to meeting some other Barth peeps in the near future.

Thanks for the welcome Mary. My connection dropped right in the middle of posting so I had to go back and edit the original post.

Me and my Barth are in Lake Havasu City at my parents place. My wife is back in northern IL. I did a snowbird deal this winter. I'm down here to help my parent move to the new house they just bought (with full RV hookups I might add *grin*).

My wife will be coming down at the end of April for my brother's wedding. We'll drive the Barth back to IL, selling off most of our stuff and it's fulltime for us. Property tax to too high in IL for me anymore.

Oh yeah, we are going to try to make it to Indiana in May. I want to get a picture of the old Barth factory for Paul and June, the original owners. Paul was upset when I drove his baby off and I understand why.
