Hi Graham,
First hand knowledge of the coach and its condition, mainly. It looks very good, but doesn't seem to have had many miles put on it in recent years.

Hi All,
After a search that led me to the west coast, and on many phone calls and email chats, I drove by and looked at the 78 Eleganza II in Concord, NC today that was on eBay. Its a nice 40k mile original coach. Minimal rust - described as previously 1 original owner Bend, Oregon coach, original paint is OK with a fair amount of peeling throughout, roof looks good, floors felt solid, original interior is in workable shape, showers and such looked good but I wasn’t able to test, it has a new rooftop unit, newer appearing fridge. It started and ran pretty good with no effort, the air-ride leveling setup pumped up and leveled the coach in a short time, though it did deflate when I switched it to travel mode which was odd. I drove it around the block, and it was pretty solid in the test drive.
At the end of the day.. it runs and drives OK, it’s had the real basic stuff done, like fuel lines, brakes, etc but is going to need tires, batteries, airbags soon most likely and more to make it really. I’ve decided to buy it as I rather like the layout and have always appreciated the Eleganza look. I’ll need a ton of help on the mechanic side here in NC or on the east coast at least, I want to start upgrading the safety stuff promptly.
In the next few days I’ll bring it back to my home, and get it titled and clean it up for some photos to share. Thanks to all that have helped me understand a little about them so far (now I’ll need REAL help lol!)
Luke

Sorry - late to the party, but thought I'd reply in any case...
I've not seen this coach - but followed the owner's pics last year when he rebuilt it. I'm surprised it's for sale, based on how much work he appeared to do to it!
This FB link shows the pics that I was watching last fall:

I can't imagine having that much free time - but if I did, I doubt I'd be rebuilding old GMC's!
It is likely a very good value.

The guy certainly put in the effort ..a complete interior re-build. Not
much of a shop, not a spot of dirt on the floors!
