Tried calling them and got a no voicemail message. Looks like a keeper.

class A Barth Motor Hm,27ft,1976 - $4000 (Sarasota,Fl.)


454 Chevy gas engine; runs great,98,000 miles. Will make trip. All aluminum body,good. Generator works but no spark in engine,new parts.
200 miles on 6 tires,4 yrs old. Roof air works on AC. Inside could use some restore. Contact owner VH at 941-376 0697 in Sarasota

Just talked to the owner, who's in Arkansas till Aug 6, but the coach is in Sarasota, and I can go look at it, so I'll try and make it tomorrow. Owner says;
Onan 4 has all new parts but won't fire, needs work.
Came from Bushnell, Fla. He bought it to fix up but no time. Runs fine, lots of new parts, good tires, new house water pump, running on 1 gas tank because he dissed the switch, if he doesn't sell it by Aug 6 he's taking it back to Arkansas and keeping it. Antenna hole leaked, did some damage to headliner, entry handle flap is busted from someone trying to break in, center bath FP. I don't think he's trying to deceive anyone, seems like an honest guy. I'll know more after I see it and get some pix. Data Tag location on a 76?

On my 1975 it is on the wall under the window drivers side.

Went to see this coach today. Not bad, but far from perfect. Of course if it was perfect it would be worth a lot more. The tires are just a little checked, the awning fabric is shot, the windshield looks very clear, the only place I could see inside was the rear bedroom, and it looks nice. The door handle was broke, and I know how to open it but the deadbolt seemed to be engaged so I couldn't get inside. The body and inside the hood look fine for a coach of this age.
My bottom line: If you're looking for a project coach this is priced right and wouldn't require a whole lot to be a nice classic. If you're looking for a perfect coach and don't know how to do anything relating to an older coach, keep looking.

'4 grand, '75, looks pretty nice on the out side.
buyer should check it out closely for what they need to put into it. price, to me , looks a little optimistic

Danny,I think we ought to go up and take a look at it when the owner comes back. Jan said she wants to ride along.

where's the bustle?

My '75 has a bustle, did they quit doing bustles in '75.

I seem to remember the bustle being an option in those days. Anybody back me up on this?

Danny; It was a $500.00 extra.

Didn't know that guys, where did you find that info?

My '77 had a bustle.

Would seem to add up....My '78 chassis (coach completed Jan '79) is a straight back.....
Six months later my son's coach was built with a bustle....

My 78 HAD a bustle.

To satisfy my curiosity - are these the windshields that can't be replaced?
