I will, as soon as I can determine if we are planning to get the van. Cost is a factor, but, if we can afford it, then it won't matter who sees the whole advertisement. If not, it won't matter, so long as she has a better chance at a good home. Until then, though, I have my one chance... If I wasn't interested, I would not have found this site. Not going to just toss my chance at it to the person that can out-run and out-pay me, simply because I posted the ad. I have already dug deep enough to figure out the person that placed the ad, as well as sending an email. Calling, later this morning...

Another shot, taken today.

Says it's about 40 feet long, Aluminum body similar to the mobile dental clinic I saw somewhere online.

Interesting… the glass nose says it is the Euro style circa 80-82 on a GM chassis. The hump in the roof and the front door are typical of the commercial Barth coaches.

If it is actually 40 feet long it will be the longest one we've seen on the GM chassis. Does it have a tag axle? The longest GM I know of without tag axle is 32 feet or so.

There is usually a data plate above and behind the driver. That would give all the info you/we need.

Looks like a real project. Hopefully the inside isn't too bad. Good luck

Hope to check it, in person, soon. Everyone is getting tornadoes and heavy rain, right now, here in central Texas. May have one on the ground, within a few miles, as the crow flies. Let things dry out a tad and we'll see.

The 1989 Coca Cola Euro is the closest body I've found, but the front doors don't seem to appear until a couple of years later.

Not absolutely certain it's a P30, but it corresponds to the time-frame, while many of the commercially produced GM RVs had a similar notch in the roof line.

Rumored to have been some sort of Mobile Command Post, so I'll have to run a title search, for historical purposes. Does have a clear title, though, so should be easy to track.

1984-VIN 1GBKP37W7E3316764
Sister to the '89 'Coca Cola' Barth, but has the rectangular front doors (both sides), of the '91. Has the Koehler generator in the back (possibly missing the carburetor)

Was parked in place, a number of years ago and not intended to be sold, but... Getting her for $2k+ labor to empty and relocate the stuff (She IS stuffed chock-full). Title is sitting in my car. Just in from an 18+ hour day. Goodnight.

... also, She has the 2nd axle and is right at 36-38 ft long, including nose and rear bumper. Rear bumper hangs out about a foot and the zig-zag nose is worth about a foot and a half. Did not have a tape measure, but my outstretched arms, fingertip-to-fingertip are right at 6 ft.

Congradulations on your purchase! Be sure to take lots of pictures as you go along with the project.
Happy Motoring!
