While it's not fully ready to put on the market yet, I think it's wise to let others know it will be available in the near future.

1978 Eleganza II

We purchased this coach 10 years ago with big plans but as fate would have it, career choices would not allow me to leave town. I did have time to work on the coach, performing numerous upgrades and kept it in proper running order but now that I've retired, health issues are forcing a sale. I have to finish a number of details before it's actually ready for sale, mostly minor stuff but unknown as to when it's complete. I can be contacted by email at kwharland at bellsouth dot net.

New wheels and tires, Alcoas on rear with 215/75 tires and offset Eagles on front with Dick Cepak 245/70 tires so that front tracks with rear.
