I bought a Sidekick from Copart here in Portland. They allow "normal" people to bid in THIS state (OR). I have no idea about AZ.

It other than the radio disappeared and credit card issues, it went "fairly" smooth... but they seem to have fees for paying fees. (Bid $1400 and had to pay $1937, delivered to my door.)

It appears to have redone interior. Has a high dollar awning. I
don't see the real damage in the coach, the carpet appears to be
damaged. What kind of fire and where was it located in the coach,
engine fire, muffler fire????. This in not a parts coach. This is a
good base coach for someone to redo the damage and drive and could be
had real cheap and end up with a decent coach. This coach is a rear
twin bed model. It would be interest to have one of you that are in
Tucson go out to the Copart lot, it is located out by the air base
near the end of Irvington Road and give it a look.

This sure looks like the results of the same muffler damage that we
had in the Stretch last year.

I agree, JR. It looks like the left muffler burned a hole in the floor. I
don't even see evidence of damage from extinguishing the fire -- maybe they
just poured water on it? The coach had obviously been pretty well cared for
before that.

I'd sure bid on it if I had ANY desire for another coach and had a chance to
look it over to evaluate whether it's likely to run.

That might be a bargain for someone. Looks like the fire was from the opposite muffler than our's. Easily fixed. I wonder if Carl or any of the Tucson folks knows this coach?
I sure would not have let an insurance company have mine with a small hole like that. Our's was larger and took a full extinguisher and 3 gallons of water.
Teri was outside hollaring at me for messing up the interior while I put the dang fire out. She even made me clean all the powder up.

G'day,

JimB told me that the faux wood grain in the dashboard on GMC's ran left to right and in Transmodes it runs up and down.

Doesn't help with this coach as the dash is custom.

The other trim peices are running left to right though. I can see that
in the picture. That black on the dash looks like "contact paper." lol

any known issues?
and does the coach have one ac or two

I too am bidding on this coach and would appreciate any comments from Carl, John or anyone else that could check it out before I go out to see it.

The top is not shown very well, but looks like it has a gray box side to side on the back of the top? And then a another, smaller gray box forward. Then ahead of that it looks like an a/c on each side?

I'm with Dan, it looks like an easy fix to a nice coach.
But why would the owner just let it go. Maybe they got a good settlement and the fire scared the enjoyment out of them.

I believe the owner lives in Tucson and had the coach for sale for quite some time. IIRC he had health problems. There was a for sale ad in the GMC International newsletter,3 years or so ago.
