1976 GMC Eleganza--Strong 455 and transmission, all new tires (2015) 7 Alcoas, Manny Reaction arm braking system, 6 wheel disc brakes, one new roof air (2015) and one older, but well working unit. Semi-decent dash air with auxiliary evaporator and blower mounted behind the driver's seat. New microwave. New macerator 2015.
Worn, but usable interior. Three heat sources: one OEM furnace in good condition, vented catalytic heater mounted on wall and cube heat. Screen door. Mac dash with more instruments than an L-1011. Fiberglass storage boxes behind both bumpers. Roof pod.
Needs: small body repairs here and there and probably paint. Usual road dings and one T skirt does not match. Onan leaks oil despite my best efforts and $1000 in repairs.Onan runs good, but leaks about a quart a day when running. Bumper in rear is slightly askew. Powerlevel II is currently disconnected but one pump, I believe will fix things. Currently, it holds perfectly with schrader valves.
Dinette has been converted to a jackknife sofa for sleeping. I can re-configure as the OEM dinette or leave as sofa. Double permanent bed in back.
This coach belonged to Bill and Jo Telgen for many years. It has constantly upgraded mechanically, if not aesthetically. Bill was an expert mechanic and the condition of the coach shows.
As many of you know, I am no mechanic. Any work done on this coach has been done by more talented minds than mine. I've attempted several "fixes" but succeeded at none. There is no thanks in the world that can adequately compensate Ken, John, Johnny, Kerry, Bill and many others for the hours spent in maintaining this coach. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
$10K Stick Miller 229-938-0068 for more info and pix. I am out of town but will post pictures as soon as I return to Americus. Full price gets many extra parts.

It is still available. We have not been home enough even to get our stuff out of it. I'll try and post pictures but if you are in a hurry email me at stickmiller at gmail.com
These pictures, because I'm not home, were taken a couple of years ago when I first bought it.
Thanks for the interest.

To anyone looking at a low, low mileage coach. Call me - I have a '76 Eleganza in Southwest Georgia that needs a good home. Much better to get a coach that has been driven than to fool with a low mileage barn queen. Mine has updates both inside and out. New tires 2015, new roof air 2015, reaction arm braking with 6 wheel disc brakes 2014, Mac Dash, 4 sources of Air Conditioning, new microwave 2015, 7 Alcoas, has had the Alex Ferrara magic "whammy" treatment, Mechanically excellent. Cosmetically, worn but not unusable. Has a very fixable rust spot on the right front frame, but evaluation from the "experts" says it is an easy fix, and non stress bearing. $10K with frame fixed. $9K as-is. Lot of parts included. I am a member of this forum, GMC Dixielanders, GMC Sunshine Statesmen and GMC Motorhomes International. This is, indeed, a known coach.
Call me for pictures and details. 229-938-oo68. OR stickmiller@gmaildotcom

Not much to see. It's a condenser that runs off the engine compressor. Mine has 2 tubes that allow the cold air to be redirected around the coach. It's encased in a box that shows nothing. Sits on the step just behind the driver's seat. Easily moved to another location.
Those of you requesting information, please send an email address or a phone number to which I can text.
Thanks
