I spotted a 1977 Eleganza today, towing a Jeep Wrangler from Tremont, IL to Springfield MO. That rig is now parked in my driveway, soon to move into it's new home...
hey....that old guy was ME!!!!
Yes, I am now an "ex GMC'er, ex Busnut, and now, current GMC'er".... 
I will have to change my signature.

Yes, Gene....glad to....
well, first there were dinosaurs, then I was born in 1947...after that I drove my Jeep from Springfield, MO to Cape Girardeau for a meeting, then I drove to Lincoln, IL for the night, then to Tremont, just 30 miles north, then I hooked up the Jeep to my new (to me) GMC....I handed over a cashiers check to Willis Rowell and the rest is history.

Dang it Larry. You could have at least spent one night with us, on your way.
The Previous Owner was not on the Black List. Don't let folks say that about you.

I might STILL be on the Black List, Dan....I will check... always willing to help if I can.
I was really booking it Wednesday to get across MO, have a meeting after 270 miles....then drive another 250 miles after that, sleep, and then drive the rest of the way to the seller, and then the joy of driving the GMC back to Lower MO.
Arms resting on those big OEM armrests......just like heaven.
