1975 Lifeliner

As a result of a lead from a former EMS worker/collector/member, I am now a very proud ambulance owner.

This 1975 Lifeliner was delivered to Morgan County Ambulance Service, Fort Morgan, CO on March 17, 1975 via McPeck Motor Coach Company, Denver, CO. It was originally Aspen White over Bolero Red. I have documentation of its use by Morgan County through 1983. It was later used by LifeCare Ambulance in Grand Junction, CO, but I am unsure in what capacity. I believe LifeCare painted it the current blue color. It was purchased by the previous owner on eBay in 2001.

The ambulance originally had a Federal beacon, 2 Ful-Vus over the cab, and a Federal Q. The last owner added 4 Ful-Vus on the upper roof and Federal electronic speakers. Also included with the ambulance was a number of pieces of equipment, including a Lifepak 4 defibrillator, a Dixie Thumper, Ferno stretcher, 4 folding stretchers, and multiple smaller pieces and kits/bags and comm devices.

The original fender skirts were apparently destroyed by tire chains and never replaced. I was also provided a pair that will need to be stripped/painted to match the car. Apologies in advance for the numerous questions I’m sure I will ask down the road! I posted photos in the member albums if anyone is interested. Thanks!C3B9FFFA-32AE-443D-A7C1-0F0B741C61D3.jpeg
 
Beautiful car, enjoy it, and I am looking forward to seeing you and your new car in Ohio at the upcominng PCS International Meet.
 
Congratulations!

If you're interested, correct mounting bases and speaker cones can be found occasionally from a PCS member or on eBay. Someone may be reproducing the bases (left and right side specific), but I don't remember who it is/was.

Just a note of caution; I don't know of anyone that owned one of these cars with grille lights that didn't have cooling issues, especially when idling for long periods.

Thank you Steve!
 
Thanks Ron. I’m hoping to - but a bit nervous!

What are you afraid of? Nothing to be nervous about. If you are unsure of the car, I and others can walk you through what and how to check the items on th car for a road trip. The only thing that worries me is the rising cost of gasoline.

Thanks Paul - appreciate it. I guess finding parts should something happen along the way. Nervous newbie!
