I love my GMC but the family is growing amd considering selling my 1976 Edgemont. I know if I do I will regret it but it is kinda like when you have a sports car and you need a van. It has Aluminum wheels with new tires, both Gas tanks have been removed and restored with new gas lines with electric fuel pump, Honda 6010 water cooled generator, two air conditioners, newer Sully air bags, new macerator (makes emptying the black tank a breeze), Has 3 inch exhaust with Doug Thorley headers, new alternator, aluminum intake with rebuilt carb, LED side lights with new side rub strip, new couch that folds out to bed, 36 flat panel TV in living area with Bluray DVD player and surround sound, leather seats on other side, power leather front seat with new carpet up front, hardwood floors granite counter top in kitchen, microwave with electric fridge freezer, New ceramic toilet with separate shower (some GMC have a wet bath), LED lighting though out, king memory foam bed with down pillow top with 26 inch flat panel TV DVD player. I know I am forgetting some things. I drove to North Carolina and back this summer (did have to replace the alt. that trip)and a trip to Sea World. Really just few little things like finishing up the bathroom and maybe some paint if you wanted it to be perfect (still shines up nice but just tan paint). I thinking about asking around $25,000 neg. I have a ton of money tied up in the GMC and has been great and just wondering if you guys think I am nuts on the price as I know it is hard to say without seeing it in person. I do have a wonderful wife as she has said I don't have to sell the GMC but if we do get a larger motorhome I don't want this one to sit as we all know what that does.

Charley,
Do you have pictures? From the description is sound like a very nice coach. Having sold a coach in 2011 that was completely redone for $30K+ a well done coach will still get a good price, $25K would not be out of line. There are a lot of coaches recently that have been on the market at give a way prices, but a nice coach will still draw a fair price from the right buyer. Remember the GMC pricing axiom, you can buy a $5000 coach and spend another $25000 getting it done or you can buy a coach for $25000 and $5000 making it yours. In either case you're going to spend $30K plus.

Charlie - I'd be interested in pictures also, with one caveat: I believe this coach originally had the 77"long twins in the back. Any reason why it could't be put back that way or will modifications under the beds prevent this. In other words, I want twins, not king.
Thanks

Yes it has the long twins and could be put back. I actually have two twins push together to make a king and had been working on a way to roll them back and forth as needed but we just use it as a king so did not put much effort in it. i will work on posting some pictures.

Charley,
I have seen your coach when I had bought the front seats from you.You have a great coach and the generator change alone should be a great selling point. I have some questions for you if you would like to contact me two eight one 684-5691. Thanks, John
