Not a bad looking coach.
But...
The 16.5 tires are in great shape.
Has alloy wheels.
Say what...?

It could be newer Firestone Transforce 16.5. How far are you from there Tom?

How many of these have been converted to a 454, and it will fit without raising the hatch?

16.5" aluminum wheels?

Assuming it was fairly mechanically sound, if they were actually 16" wheels and the tires were good, it would almost be worth it for someone to consider buying if you needed/wanted wheels and awnings for your coach, and sell the remaining running and usable coach. Maybe some other parts as well.

I believe the "454" is incorrect, should be the normal 455. Also, looking closely at the wheels, it appears that the coach has simulator 16.5" SS covers
Still a very nice looking, pretty near original coach.
I could be talked into looking at it for you for the price of gas. It is about a 500 mile trip from here. There are closer GMC owners, at least one in Baton Rouge.

I agree. I see what I assume to be incorrect cu in fairly frequently in the CL ads. Unless the ad goes into detail about engines, I disregard it. I've even seen a few first listed as diesels then changed to gas in updates ...probably after someone knowledgeable contacted them.

Powerjon, since you quoted me, I assume you are talking to me. Did I miss something? I see no reply from you on the forum that indicates this WAS SOLD. Sorry if I made you repeat yourself.
