Eagles International Forum

This is an open "letter" to the new members we have recently added to this forum.

Over the past few months we have added a decent number of new members to our forum. Now:

We would love to hear from you.

Many of our new members already own Eagles. Let us hear about them. You can reply to this post or start a project thread.

Many are looking to purchase an Eagle If you let us know what you are looking at, we might be able to help you vet the candidate. We have several Eagles listed in our Eagle Mall forum, but there are many more available from our members. Let us know what your are looking for - expectations and budget.

Don't be concerned about how you post. If there are any issues, I will be glad to help you. Make the post and if we need to make any changes, I can help with that.

We are a friendly group just waiting to talk about Eagle buses.

Hopefully new members will read this thread. The main reason I created this thread was to get the new folks involved.

This post is to encourage the new members to think about attending our Branson Rally:

There is absolutely no better way to find out as much as you want to learn -- if you can find a way to attend. Even if you have to stay in a hotel, you can still spend a bunch of time picking folks brains and looking at all the different things we have done to our buses.

hello, we bought a silver eagle bus that was converted but kitchen and lounge was already stripped out.We then gutted rest of bus due to water damage floors, walls needs new rivots in some spots also. I have vin #1EUA6A17FB031572 We aren't sure if was a passenger bus because removing floor there wasn't any bolt holes for seats.I would greatly appreciate any help with vin #. thank you

Hi Chris. Welcome to our forum.

The record I can find for your bus is as follows:

1EUAN8A17FBO31572 AE10 Colonial Trailways Inc. (AL) 8/85
This information is from the "Bowman" database and it often has some errors. On your number, his data would suggest that the bus has an 8V engine rather than a 6V engine your serial number suggests.

I encourage you to start a project thread so that we can all see your progress.

Jim

thank you the bus has a 6vDD Turbo in it now. I will try to post pics on thread not very computer savy. Wheres a good place to buy rivets from? rivetsinstock? Thank you for your help we are very new to owning a motor coach never had one.My husband probably hates me for bringing it home.

I have always had good luck with Byler rivet out of Tdexas

Byler Rivets is a good place. Why would you say that?
