I, and probably others, got an email from this gentleman offering a free GMC. He wanted help getting the word out. I don't know anything other than the info below so take it from here if you are interested.
Here is the slightly edited info from a couple of emails from him:
I have  a pretty good 1973 GMC motor home to give away. This started as a project and ended trying to give it away because my health, I’ll never finish it so it needs to go to someone that might. It has two new windshields, 6 new tires and aluminum wheels, 1 new intake manifold without the heat crossover, new suspension air bags, 6KW aux genset, full set of wiring diagrams both for the coach and the chassis.The coach has new tires and aluminum wheels, It is not drivable at this point because of a fuel system problem, electrical pump I think. It has a $10,000 dollar paint job and looks good, the interior is not so good and needs to be completely redone. This has the potential to be a high dollar unit with a bit of tlc by the right person. The engine and drive system has 20,000 miles on a complete rebuild. This is a great deal for the right person.
 Bear in mind, this is free for the taking, come and get it. Clear title. I live in Sequim, Washington. Diamond Point to narrow it down a bit. The Coach is here at my house, located at 451 Rhododendron Dr. Sequim, WA 98382. Phone 360-681-2178 Ask for Jack The coach has new tires and aluminum wheels, It is not drivable at this point because of a fuel system problem, electrical pump I think.

It's VERY close to me - but a closed border and a lack of places to stash it makes it unlikely...

I hope whoever picks that up is deserving and throws the guy some cash. That's just too generous.
