Nice looking Executive. Looks very similar to the 1991 Beaver Contessa that was my wife and I's first diesel pusher. We loved the coach. We had it for seven years and it had 129k miles on the odometer when we sold it in 2007.
My only real two issues were the 3208 CAT was a little underpowered for that heavy of a coach and it had the MT654 Allison transmission, which was a four-speed. Had it had the six-speed I think it would have been geared much more favorable for the 300 hp engine.
I really liked the body style and got a lot of compliments on it whenever we traveled. We even towed a 24' enclosed trailer behind ours which I had painted to match.
When you get it post up some more pictures.
