Sadly it has come time to part with our beloved 1978 Royale, rear bath. After spending 6 years of blood, sweat, and tears redoing everything we can get our hands on, we have decided to join the dark side and go to a larger SOB. If anyone is interested in a coach that is ready to get in and travel, PM me and I will give you all the details. As I said this coach is a '78 but the original 403 was replaced with a 455 by the original owner. It has Fitech fuel injection and the front end has been massaged by Alex Ferrara's magic hands. Runs and drives like a dream. All maintenance (including wheel bearing repack) has been done in the last 1000 miles. I will post more information here, on the Swap Meet side when I get more time. Unfortunately I do not know how to post pictures on the forum, but I can email you pictures if you PM me. Once again this coach is ready to travel (reliably) anywhere.
Below are some of the upgrades we have done. Most of the mechanical work has been done with in the last 5000 miles
