Hello All, I recently met a lady that is trying to sell her 76 GMC. I believe it is a Kingsley but I'm not sure. It is a one owner with 75,000 original miles on it. It has been garage kept since new. Everything appears to be 100% original and is in decent condition. Interior could use a little tlc but is completely usable as is. She started it up and drove it to the gas station to put gas in it two weeks ago, so it runs, drives and stops. It has steel wheels and 16.5 tires that are in need of replacement.

Here's the story; Her husband bought this new and it was his pride and joy. Several years ago he passed away, somewhat suddenly, and the coach hasn't been used much since then. Since it was such an important part of her husbands life, she has had a hard time deciding to part with it. She finally made the decision to sell it and listed it on Facebook Marketplace, which resulted in a lot of negative calls. This prompted her to remove the ad.

I looked at it last Saturday and since the weather was cold and rainy I didn't get any pictures of the exterior. It has some partially repaired minor body damage at the right rear corner(he died before he could complete the repair)but other than that the body is in good condition. I didn't get under it due to bad weather. I did get some pics of the interior that I could email to anyone (I don't know how to post pics)that is interested. I would also be willing to go inspect the coach further if there is some interest in it.

She was initially asking $16,900.00 for it, but I helped her understand that this was way too high. She is now hoping to get somewhere in the $8500. range for it. Unfortunately she does not know a lot about the mechanicals, but it was always professionally maintained and there is a lot of documentation that goes with the coach.
I got a really good feeling about this lady. She doesn't want to cheat anyone, and she wants it to go to someone who will appreciate it as much as her late husband did.

The coach is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota (about 10 miles from Mt Rushmore). If anyone would like more info on this please PM me and I will put you in touch with the owner.
