A 40-foot piece
of American
road history.

In 1990, Canadian Coach Inc. transformed an MCI MC8 shell into a rolling apartment — a $200,000 custom build in 1990's money. That's the equivalent of nearly half a million dollars today. Top-of-the-line everything. Not a home-built conversion. A real coach.

Our Dad bought it in 1994 for $175,000 and it became his retirement obsession. Through the late 90s he poured himself into it — a more powerful 8V92TA Detroit Diesel, new air bags, an automatic leveling system. Every system kept at the highest spec of its era.

Then life happened. A few trips out of Fallbrook between 2001 and 2005. Then it sat. From 2005 to 2018, the coach waited under the California sun while the world moved on around it.

In 2018 we turned the key. The 8V92 came back to life — no smoke, just that deep, good Detroit Diesel rumble. We drove it from Fallbrook to Oceanside, where it's been parked ever since, fired up and moved locally a few times a year.

Today it's a diamond in the rough. The paint is faded, gaskets need work, and it carries the honest scars of years sitting outside. But underneath it all is the same coach that cost $200,000 to build — polished stainless, real wood, top-shelf systems, a bulletproof drivetrain, and a soul.

This isn't a turn-key RV. It's a fixer-upper for someone who sees what it was and what it can be again — someone passionate about the vintage coach experience and willing to bring this old girl the rest of the way back.
