In Norway there is two confirmd GMC motorhomes, there is maybe two more up in the northern parts but I have not seen them or got their VIN so they are for the moment unconfirmed.

Anyways, I was looking at the second one before I bought my -73 Sequoia, it is also a -73 but a Painted desert or Canyon land, at the time the owner wanted to much for it and I did let it go..

But tonight a buddy called me and said that the owner just had put it up for sale on facebook as the building it was stored in shall be demolished in the near future.

Well I still had his phone number and called him and as of tonight I am the owner of two GMC's Smile

Ohmygosh! Even Norwegians aren't immune to the "if one's good, two's
better" disease!

I know Ken, Pretty bad habit, Like my russian military trucks.. I did end up with 4 of them and a trailer and a boat and a motor cycle with a side car.. all green and russian..

And not to forget my Märklin model train collection, 200 locomotives, I do not know how many coaches and miles of track..

The best one was my Pinball collection, when I sold it I had 78 different machines... I actually had Norway's only Pinball museum open for public..

Oh well for now I promise that it will not be a number three, I will just get the last one in running condition and use it as is while I restore the first one Smile
