Are you stuck on the prices you have set forth. i actually like the 73 better.

I think so at this time. Believe me when I say, I have more than the $22,000 into the Lifeliner on it's own but willing to entertain offers. We all know just because you put a fortune into a car does not mean you will get it back.
Thanks for looking!
Okay. So when you sell your ambulances what are you going to get to replace them? Here's a Michigan company that might be able to help you spend your money. www.snowmakers.com

For a serious ambulance collector, these cars are worth considering. Each comes with known lineage, original dataplate, and a nice array of period-correct equipment. Rumor was, some guy was checking these rigs out pretty good at the PCS meet in Daytona Beach. I think they said his name was Karsina. 
Terry must have brought out the artillery with the sale of her beloved Saab and Richards trying vainly to follow my longtime rule:
Happy Wife, Happy Life!!! :smiley_w_ballbat:

I hope you are getting something you like better if you are really selling them off. You need a procar !
I would be worried about you not being around as much without a procar.
You know the club loves you, your wife and Remi. We need you man !
Don't do anything you will regret later.

J agree with Tony, these are nice rigs and are surely going to appreciate in value. I hope you don't regret selling them Richard, but I have done the same thing many times and have only got regrets on a couple of them.

Having Regrets
We have found, saved and restored a lot of pro-cars, fire apparatus, civil defense units, vintage trucks-construction equipment and law enforcement vehicles since the early 90's.... around (26+) or so at the last count. We like to do it and actively show and tour them for a year or so, but after the "wow factor" starts to diminish, they need to move on. In selling them, we are more concerned about who they are sold to and that they continue to be cared for and not abandoned under an oak tree a few years later. A case in point is our former (Fort Wright, KY) 1973 S&S Medic Mark-I. When I first decided to sell it we had calls from a couple of local pizza parlors and a group who wanted it to go to Charger Games in repainting it blue with yellow "bolts" all over. When Dr. David Richards called from Michigan he was immediately "approved". He in turn traded it to Tim Fantin and now Bruce-B has it... all great pro-car people that will contnue it's legacy for decades. MM

I have always loved those swivel front seats. I wonder why they were not put in more ambulances, the Criterion is the only one I know of that did that. When I was a kid my dad had a Monte Carlo with them.

John: not suprising the Superior 54XL's also have the swivel seats. One of my close friends in med school had them in his cutlass and they always sparked a question.

My '76 Superior 54 has them as well. It has a center console that houses the light switches and siren control.

I was told the swivel front seats were out of a monte carlo?
The seats were a hot topic of conversation last night at the cruise.
