Hi. My husband and I have been thinking about buying an RV for quite a while and have done a lot of reading and a little looking. He is very intrigued by the design of the GMC, so we've been trying to read up on what we might be facing as far as repair and remodeling.

There is a 1975 Eleganza II available a few hours' drive away which we may view soon after speaking with the seller. My husband spoke with a local mechanic who is a bit of a GMC vintage buff and had several questions answered. I am making a list of questions to ask the seller, but I wanted to ask here -- is there anything to look for which should be a deal breaker? I can do some carpentry and upholstery and my husband can do mechanical, wiring and a little plumbing, but considering a 43-year-old vehicle is a bit daunting. Any advice would be appreciated.


Pickens County, Alabama 1977 Royale, 455, 67,000 original miles
