Found this sitting in a yard on the edge of an Indian reserve north of Victoria. John Shotwell do you have this one in the registry? TZE337V101441
I have photos but will have to figure out how that part works.

from the title of the post, I thought someone on the list drove through past my house...
76 Birchaven - "Wicked Mistress" - New engine, trans, alum radiator, brakes, Sully airbags, fuel lines, seats, adult beverage center... those Coachmen guys were really thinking about us second hand owners by including that beverage center...

Sir: that left front is a hubcap. A feller at the DuQuoin rally had a set on a Birch. It appears to be an early 77 so probably a 455.

That coach of David Stewarts is a nice looking coach. Perhaps Texas is a little kinder than the Pacific Northwest. Somewhere I found information stating that 23 foot transmodes got the 403 beginning with TZE337V101287. This may not be hard and fast so it is possible that it has a 455. Would have to cut through the moss, mold and mildew to get a closer look.

<<the climate were it is located doesn't lend itself to keeping an interior... condensation is bad enough, but if there is ANY leak>>
true dat,
but it still has air in tires and hasn't sunk to the ground or have a tree growing thru the bumper. It may not have been in that exact spot real long. My cars that have to park under trees can look that groody in a couple of weeks, junk from pecan, oak and walnut trees. But with a little soap and water it washes right off.
