Oldest TZE Owner
Yesterday at Camping World I happen to meet a fellow GMC motorhome enthusiast from Michigan. He claimed to be a retired engineer that actually worked on various stages of the GMC motorhome line and was quite knowledgeable of these old beasts. If he's on here, please drop me a line it was nice to have met you.
Coupled with the information from some of the savvy senior members on this forum and a chance encounter with the aforementioned, I have concluded that I am most likely the owner of the oldest existing TZE GMC motorhome. I came to this conclusion only having exhausted the vast resources available on the internet and a ridiculous amount of time on the phone.
As a collector of classic RVs, this is without a doubt my luckiest find to date. Interest in this vehicle has been phenomenal to say the least. Almost annoyingly. Given this fact, I politely ask that my anonymity be respected. this is not my first vehicle and having a reasonable amount of knowledge of the GMC motorhome, I had a gut feeling that this was in fact something special. Furthermore, please know that I fully understand and appreciate the historical significance of this vehicle and its place in history.
With that said, I will be more than glad to help everyone by providing data and information about this old girl and some of the hidden secrets that I've discovered 
I am strongly interested in either having this vehicle professionally refurbished or accepting a trade on an already refurbished coach. Those are just a couple of the ideas I have at this point.
One thing I am sound on is the idea that if I do not refurbish this vehicle and tour it, I believe it should stay within the strong GMC motorhome community. I am dedicated to the preservation and traditions of the clubs.
