One of the links takes you to the craigslist listing:
<http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/rvs/2172787368.html>
It looks like what happens when someone buys a coach and has grand ideas about a rebuild. The energy is up until it is torn apart... then the interest fades. (I do NOT know the story of THIS coach.)
Regardless of what the listing says, it doesn't have a 455. (The valve covers only have 3 bolts on the top side.) Being a '78 I would expect it to be a 403. I suspect the alternator and other missing parts are on the floor in the back... but you never know.
Just from the pictures, in todays market, it isn't worth more than $2000... if that. But if someone has the time/money to put it back together it could be a nice coach. Getting it "home" might cost more than it is worth. For less money that it would cost to fix this one, you can buy a complete coach. Even if this one was given to you.
Now if you find a buyer that doesn't "trust anything" unless they "did it" themselves*... then, why pay for a coach that has anything done to it? This one is ready for them. (Just not at $4k.)
*I understand Steve F. is a bit like this.
