FYI

I just saw a 1977 Palm Beach on Craigslist - maybe a good parts vehicle or whatever. $1800. Location: north of Seattle Wa.

My thoughts...

- Other than the windshield, the outsides look OK and should clean up pretty good. (I do not mind the green.)
- Insides look a bit rough.
- Needs a motor and tires.
- Between this and my 1973, With some work, I could make a pretty nice coach.
- I do not have the space for a 3rd coach.
- Maybe I could make a deal with Terry Skinner. (He has a "little" more room than I.)
- I might be able to scrape up the money.
- Wife would probably shoot me if I bought another one. Shocked

Have to think about this....

Mike,
I hear Terry has so many coachs parked at his place that Ft Lewis is concerned he is planning an invasion. They keep running parashoot drops just inside their boundry as a show of strength. LOL

You need to keep a stub axle torqued in the hub to support the bearings.

them..........Terry

Looks like it has a LOT more potential than a parts vehicle. Sure hope someone saves it.
