Found this on CL a few minutes ago, could be a great parts coach.

Actually read it wrong, it is in Victoria B.C. and just realized it may or may not be a Classic GMC. No pictures.

Not a "GMC Motorhome" - but actually a cutaway GMC (class C). I go by there regularly.

BTW - I have yet to see another GMC MH in my travels (maybe 24 nights so far this year)! They are a rare bird up here...

There's a dead GMC out by the airport. Been there for years.
Also, a horrible green one has been for sale several times in Esquimalt area.
Another abandoned one just south of Duncan, 100 feet from the hiway.
I have 2 in various stages of disrepair.
There may be one across from the late Denny Allen residence.

I am sure, if not already provided, JShot would appreciate the VINs and locations, etc., of all of them.

The one that you mention by the airport - is that the one in Brentwood Bay? If so - it's a 23', been there for many years.

I'd love to find one with a half decent Zip Dee! No room to buy one for parts, though...

Jeff Eichen just reported crashing the front end of his coach. Both he and
Todd Sullivan are looking for front ends for coaches. Might be some donor
coaches there.

It's on the Indian Reserve. A road that runs east/west.
There's some tall bushes between it and the road.
I inquired a long time ago and the price was sky high.
MacTavish Rd.? That's the airport road.
Maybe a bit north of that.

The one in Brentwood Bay is off Stelly's Cross Road, west of West Saanich Road. Going west it is on the right hand side, one or two blocks from West Saanich.

Haha - I guess a lot of people have been watching that old GMC... It's been there a VERY long time.

Yes - about 1000 block of Stelly's Cross Road, on the north side.

Found which one? On Stelly's Cross Road?

There is also another one in a wrecking yard very near there - but it's not visible from the road. It's up off of West Saanich on Shaker Church Road.

Batting 0 here first I just missed the bunch camping at fort Victoria campground then both units Stelly.s cross road and the one in the junk yard just north gone
I'm looking for a right rear boggy and a whole back panel with glass
Somewhere between here and Calgary
Granted I'm on my Mini Cooper
Might make it tough to haul parts

Any more Rob ?

Not too many around these parts!

Both the Stelly's one and the Shaker wrecker one are owned by people that think they're worth considerably more than I do... They may have been worth $5K when they were parked - but that was many years (decades?) ago... They are basically well weathered shells at this point.

About 18-24 months ago - there seemed to be a surge of GMC's listed around here. But since then - almost nothing!

I know of 3-4 more in the Victoria area - none of which are for sale (that I know of).
