I've been gone for a while because I sold my 76 Palm Beach about two years ago. This 74 seems extremely well maintained and upgraded. It has twin air bags, Alcoa wheels, headers, three inch exhaust, MSD ignition, excellent new headliner, memory foam mattress, all new side windows, Ramco mirrors, new front hubs and shocks and a lot more. The tires look OK but are ten years old. It has a macerator and a good screen door. Got it for $4500. How did I do? It drives great but has 130,000 on the clock.
The VIN is TZE064V100225. Anyone know anything about its past?

You got the coach for free; it was the improvements that cost $4500.

The VIN is TZE064V100225. Anyone know anything about its past?

Lance,
Not sure why it is being called a Palm Beach. With a TZE serial of 0225 it was likely built last qtr. of 1973. Much too early for a Palm Beach which was announced as a 1975 model.
If you still have the glove box sticker (service parts Identification) it will show you the build date (top left), paint color and complete list of accessories.

Sir: Looks like a good deal on the coach. On your blog, I believe it is a 1960 Olds with 59 Caddy tail lights.

Chuck,
You're right, what I spotted was what looked like the Pontiac logo on the fuel fill door. I reckoned you were right on the year (you
were) so I Googled "1960 Pontiac."

Rob M.
