Sorry I did see this sooner, Only because I could have spread the word better. I just bought my last pair of 16s to finish the set.

My biggest concern on either of these GMC's would be
frame rust. Located in Michigan and not being able to
take a first hand look would be a serious concern.

fwiw

Larry,
Do you think this might be T-Bird Ted's cars who we met in Amana? The son said they had 3 GMC's...

They claim inside storage. but there is no guarantee. I am thinking the nicer one is inside storage, the other two could of sat outside. news says no cars have been driven in 30 years, but I don't think that is true for that GMC. 130k miles in it's first 10 years? maybe.

crazy thing is with auction less then 6 hours to close, the 2 one's that are in poor shape, are bidding at scrap price.


the nicer one is bidding up.

Entirely for what its worth.. I have seen at least the yellow one and the 23footer on Craigslist. This may or may not mean anything to anyone. I recall the postings having numbers directly after the title, and the sagging belt line and half bumper on the yellow coach. Those two details for whatever reason stuck in my mind.

I went back and found the yellow Glenbrook on the GMCRVFORSALE.COM site, Michigan coaches, back a page or two. it appears it was listed perhaps back in July of 2015.

I dont know the owner, and am not bidding on these coaches. They are what they are. I hope they are brought back to life. It looks like it was a pretty awesome collection of vehicles that someone liked and cared about.

Bruce,

I think you are correct. The coach that was sold looks like the one
they drove to Amana.

Yes, those were Ted's cars, his wife Rita VanAntwerp is selling them.
