Well, I posted this on Ebay for $6,900 and had over 100 watchers every time but no successful bidder. Granted I went on travel for several weeks and was only available a handful of times, but none-the-less it did not sell. I had one person come and see it who wanted to make it into a limo for hire but I think the idea of converting a mostly 35 year old interior to something that would work was too much  Can't you imagine flying into Dulles wearing a suite with your company sales guys and being picked up in a bright yellow GMC??
So - before relisting on eBay I thought I would ping the GMC community again and see if anyone knows of someone looking to purchase. I am going to give the sales attempt 1 more time and then proceed to winterize it as I am not going to have time this fall to go anywhere and figure it would sell better in the spring.
Price and Contact Info:
Price is now $5,500 OBO. Trade you ask?? I don't really need anything but would consider a trade for a vehicle (with 4 kids we are always looking) or an inboard ski boat (Supra/Ski Nautique - kids like the water sports and our Hurricane deck boat is a little under powered). You can email me direct at jim.washburne@aemcorp.com.
I just drove it last week and everything worked fine as usual. Below are the details.
Details (mostly information on things that make this GMC unique):
1975 Glenbrook 455
146,xxx miles
6 kw Onan – (with K&N Washable Filter System) working fine but uses a little oil.
Aluminum Wheels (rides like a dream) with very nice commercial tires (probably about 10,000 miles? Will need to check logs but they look like new, always covered)
3 AC's on the roof (we like it cold)
Zip Dee awnings on both sides (full coach length)
Newer Air Bags (holds coach for over a week)
New Air Valve Assembly (oem dash mount style) with dash viewable pressure gauge
2 Air Compressors (one inside, one out)
Transmission Overflow Hose (routed to side of frame)
Transmission Temperature Gauge (runs 180-210 ish depending on ambient air temp and hills)
Grease Fittings in Front Hubs (saves wheel bearings)
GMC/Chevy Modern Steering Wheel (not the old plastic one)
Dash air with blower horn (not currently working – who needs it with 3 roof top AC’s)
Sewer Macerator (shoot your poop 25 feet out a hose, the best)
AUX Brake Booster Pump (Vacuum Pump)
Front AND Rear tow hitch/receiver (2 inch)
Front Fresh Air Vents
Side Window Air Wings
Radiator Bug Screen
Air Bag Shut Off Valves (also have an Air Bag Dog Bone just in case)
Original Red Jack with Chain (I actually used this to change a tire before I upgraded to the new wheels/tires)
Engine Air Vents
Rear View Camera (VR3 Wireless)
Under Carpet Insulation
Rear compartment Lift Arms
Long Rooftop Pod
Aluminum Folding Step
Screen Door
Full size bed in rear (hinged)
Full size hanging bunk bed in rear (can be removed, all original rear interior included)
Upgraded Driver and Passenger Seats
Upgraded Toilet
Rear Water Spigots (mounted inside each rear compartment)
Stored on rear blocks, wheels/tires covered
Dinette Storage Hook (I should have patented this creation for storing the table in the closet)
V Hose Adapted on Fresh Water Pump for easy winterization (allows antifreeze to be sucked into the system directly from the 1 gal tanks).
Microwave mounted above stove
Video Screens (small under counter flip downs) and Video Distribution System with DVD Player
Main House Battery disconnect
Full set of repair manuals
Archived GMC articles in binders
GMC Parts Cross reference documents (very handy)
very drivable, never stranded us, very reliable – that said, it’s 35 years old
There is always work to be done... probably needs rear brakes sometime, sewer holding tank gauge not working, electric hot water fine but engine heating of the water not working (had to bypass it a couple of years ago), outside air compressor temperamental, windshield wiper blades need replaced (again), ceiling material coming loose in places, slight exhaust leak in the pipe back by the wheels (been there for years, had a truck shop fix it and they put a large banjo clamp on it), leak in heavy rains (running down the inside rail again, need to regoop the rivets on drivers side I suppose)... ... ...
