So you think your coach is fast? Dale's 1976 Bluebird Wanderlodge FC31 Rocket - 4K

After seeing another YT channel claim their stick & plastic SOB (some other brand) coach was the fastest motorhome ever made, I couldn't resist putting together this short video about Dale's Vintage Rocket FC31 Bluebird Wanderlodge. Yes believe it or not Dale's coach was built 50 years ago and an amazing 25 years before the SOB in that other video. While the motor that Dale crammed into his coach was not part of the original production run from Wanderlodge, it definitely does make it one of the fastest coaches ever made. For those not familiar with his Detroit 6V92 motor, it's monster! I hope you enjoy this NoGas Video. Now back to your regularly scheduled channel.

That’s awesome!

Dale is quite the senior citizen and a wizard of a mechanic. He built an amazing vehicle and now they’re enjoying it…

[@OddsandSods26]

I remember it, thanks for the memories..

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

Imagine what it’ll be like when we hand over OUR keys! At least we’ll have these videos 😄

[@GinosGarageUSA]

I have heard of that FC with the Detroit in it, wish I was there to see that. I wonder what kind of HP he is pushing out of it? Thanks for showing us this creation!

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

@@GinosGarageUSA No one thought to ask Dale that question. Bet it’s a bundle. Would be interesting to put it on a dyno. The amount of technical expertise he’s got is amazing.

[@GinosGarageUSA]

@@NoGasWelcomeAboard Yea that kind of info is invaluable. I will pick Andy’s brain and see if he gleaned any information from him.

[@fastcoffee9878]

I am curious to know what transmission he has in there

[@patrickcrow5042]

I want this mod too!!

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

You bet! Wouldn’t you have loved to see that truckers face as they BOTH were passing the century mark?

[@HootisGarage]

All the lead! Wonder what it weighs

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

No clue. It cant be light. But just imagine how fast that coach would be without all that lead!

[@njv2945]

We just meet Dale and his wife at the New York State Fair but failed to get his contact info. We have a 1975 GMC motorhome. Any chance your in touch with Dale?

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

Sorry, I didn't get his contact info when he was out at Quartzsite rally. If you have access to Wanderlodge Owners Group (WOG) forum or FB-Wanderlodge, you might ask if anyone there has his contact info.

@@NoGasWelcomeAboard Thank you!

[@beegarden1681]

That's My Dad! I believe I met you as well. You were fixing your gear shift ?

Nice coach. And it doesn’t cost a million dollars.
