Finally got in contact with the owner of the 78(?) That is parked up at a local mall and they may be interested in selling.
It drove from NY to Ashville NC and then to here this year (on 14 year old tires!) So mechanical show promise, chassis looks solid, only very minor signs of interior water damage inside.
It's obviously been loved in the past with Alcoa, and a repaint, upgrade seats etc.
Has Washington state plates and some Oregon plates in one of the lockers.
Very nice oak doors on the overheads and kitchen and a "gun cupboard" in the back.
TZE is TZE168D101313
Anyone got any history for this one?

At one time this coach was owned by Rick and Jean Hoffman of Redmond, OR
It is a 1978 Eleganza II.

You might look at the tag under the passenger side outside hatch and see.

No. It's a V. When I looked up his number I had to substitute a V to find out the former owners name.

Pete,
Is that off the paperwork or the tag under the passenger side hood?
The Kingsley I bought from Kerry had a VIN Number of T 2 E not T Z E.

So, was this coach assembled at plant "D"? Being a 78 model, could this be the last unit assembled with parts
shipped to "D" to clear the floor at "V"? Any other out there?
Just speculating.

The TZE identifies as a GMC Coach so don't worry.

Just speculating.
In this era "D" was Doraville, GA, just outside Atlanta. I think it's safe to say it was NOT built there. I have a later '78', built in June of '78, one of last 100 or so produced and my VIN is "V".
I think it is reasonable to say it's a typo, it happens.
