We are retiring next year and we just cannot keep up 2 motorhomes.
So it is time to sell our GMC
We are looking to get $22,000 but will entertain offers.
I am on the black list so give me a call or email at tlins@optonline.net
We purchased this 1978 Classic GMC coach in 2004 and have used it for the past 11 years and enjoyed every minute of it.
Since we purchased it we have repaired or replaced just about everything on it.
The initial mechanical rebuild of the suspension and brake system was done at the Co-Op in Orlando after which we were confident enough to drive it home to New Jersey.
We had a new exhaust system and headers done at Ken Frey's shop in Pennsylvania.
At a later date we had Ken replace the transmission.
We have refurbished the interior and at this point this coach drives like it did when it came out of the factory.
We just do not use it enough and it needs to go to another family.
There a few minor problems that need to be fixed. There might be some others I missed.
The cruise control is not functioning
The backup camera is not working
There is a slow leak in the power steering system.
I am trying to get time to fix these problems but my day job is getting in the way.
We are selling this coach as-is where it is. Buyer has to pick it up.
I am willing to pick you up at the airport (Newark,NJ)

Pete,
It appears that the GMCforum email is different from the one that appears on the GMCnet as it is missing the entire second paragraph on the GMCnet version! Not all of us read the Phorm often. Everything that is on the GMCnet goes to the Phorm, but not vise versa!
