I've just reduced the price on my 1976 Palm Beach to $12,000! You may have read my earlier posts. This is a great motorhome. It was an above average coach when I bought it three years ago from the original owner and I've spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars upgrading and repairing just about everything. Below is a detailed description of most everything I've don but there's even more that I can't remember.


This 1976 GMC Palm Beach was purchased from the original owner just over two years ago. It was garaged until I got it and has always been well maintained. I have cleaned, repaired, replaced or upgraded everything and added nice extras from end to end. The coach has new bumpers, upgraded wipers, Doug Thorley headers, rebuilt steering box, seven brand new tires and Eagle aluminum wheels, two brand new ZipDee awnings and matching windshield covers and new inside windshield privacy shades, upgraded from original, Ragusa aluminum step and polished aluminum mirror brackets, new upgraded taillights, all new venetian blinds and retainers on all windows, new stereo with CD/MP3 player, 23" VISIO flat screen TV, new stainless hot water tank and thermostat, new porcelain toilet, new upgraded Suburban heater, new microwave oven with browning element, new three burner stove top, new refrigerator, two roof A/C's, one brand new, both blow cold, Fantstic brand vent fan, all interior redone in white paneling, new waterproof ceiling panels, original wood cabinets in excellent condition, new auto-closing kitchen vent, huge roof storage pod, macerator. 6 KW Onan generator with only 341 hours, runs perfect. new simulated bamboo floor installed, easy to keep clean. Furnish it your way. Astrovan bucket seats and three point seat belts, newer 15" GM steering wheel. Permanent full bed and storage in the rear. Absolutely everything works like new or better. The coach has been professionally re-sealed and does not leak. This is one of a handful of old GMC's that is dry as a bone in the rain. New engine battery and two new 6 volt golf cart house batteries. What has not been rebuilt or replaced has been removed, cleaned and repainted to look like new. Much, much more than what is listed. All receipts since new. This was built to be a keeper but forced to sell. The old paint shines and looks great for its age. The entire front suspension has been rebuilt, brand new brakes and wheel bearings, newer Caspro shocks, rebuilt air suspension with upgraded compressor does not leak down. 140K miles on the coach. The engine was rebuilt at one point by the previous owner, has fresh heads. I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil. The transmission operates flawlessly. Brand new (not modified) sensitive brake booster stops the coach much easier and quicker than stock. This coach gets 10.5mpg driven at 55mph. Always well maintained, this way above average coach is in excellent condition, is fun to drive, easy to maintain and will serve well for years to come. Recently driven 2200 miles without incident or repair and needs nothing to go out on the road today except your curtains and towels. Asking 12,000. Lots of photos. email or call Lance at 360-213-6035.
