I recently acquired a 77 GMC. Previous owners had changed out the carpeting and upholstery so the color scheme is gone. It has been repainted a white and blue over what looks like the original cream color. Bathroom vanity sliding doors have been changed out to a white plastic. My thoughts are it is a Kingsly as the seat belt color is a copper orange.

When a sheriffs deputy cane over and did a vin verification I didn't know what model it was and he put down Palmbeach as he had seen it on the back of my other coach. I would like to get the model squared away for accuracy of the title.

That would point to E2. Any shag remnants in closet or under furniture?

Could not find any trace of original carpeting. A few decades ago the owner extended the coach by 2 feet in the rear to accommodate twin beds. Thus the rear section was completely gutted. All the evidence is a brown dash and seat belts are copper/orange.

I thought GM used 260 and 230 as the models for the State title paperwork.

Contacted Billy of the registry and he had the information that it a Kingsley.
Should have asked Billy first.
