It’s been a long time since I checked into this list, but some of you may recall the Engine of Mischief. It’s a 1976 Eleganza that was completely re-done by Jim Bounds in 2002. We haven’t used it in a few years, and it’s time to let her go.
The Engine has been in storage in Portland, OR. We’re now living in Seattle, and haven’t visited in a while, but are planning to make a trip down in the next couple of weeks to take stock of the situation and clean her up for sale.
I’m putting the call out to any Cascaders who’d like to stop by on that date (as yet unchosen) and help us make that assessment. At the very least, we’re expecting she’s gonna be full of mice and wasps, batteries dead, all tires needing replaced, and the usual stuff that happens when you let a coach sit too long. Known mechanical issues beyond that include one bogie that needs replacing (that we know of), a macerator that needs attention, and some funky stuff with the brake lines.
Other than that, she was a great restoration, with a newly-rebuilt 454, aluminum wheels, and lots of custom extras inside. It would be great to get her into the hands of someone who’d get her back out on the road. Some photos of the restoration here:
Let me know if you’re interested in dropping by and helping us figure out her current status — or would like to discuss the possibility of buying her for your very own.
