It looks like they are going to take a 1,000 or 2,000
dollar coach and turn it into a 100,000 dollar coach.
We will see. Any guesses on top dollar when finished?

Charles,

When one considers that this coach is going to be "commercially" restored a
hundred grand will be easy to hit.

But I suspect a lot of that will be "contributed" by our dedicated vendors.
To what benefit remains to be seen.

Pardon my interuption....

This has been done in a reasonable way.

The Commodores GMC
http://www.gmcmotorhome.com/commodore/index.html

A very real and practical approach of restoring a GMC, at least the mechanicals.

I had heard these guys comments about what they were planning to do and their comments are unrealistic, at least in my opinion.

I believe they are after publicity and the WOW factor, if they are successful, they will have a coach that is unsellable price wise.

Not to advocate to not have the dream to restore a GMC, the Commodore is much more responsible in that regard. I just feel these guys are putting on a show for dollars.
