This is an email reply I recieved from Ron the owner of the following Coach porject.

http://www.cathy-ron.com/GMC%20MAIN.html

Yes and no !!! I have over $50,000 invested, and it would take another $25,000 to finish it. No GMC on this planet is worth $75,000. If I could get $18,000 for it in the stage that it is in. I would consider selling it. However, that's also an absurd price in todays market. I also would only sell it to someone who has the ability and money to finish it. I don't need to sell it, other then i'm tired of looking at it.

Wow! That is a thing of beauty.

Great workmanship. It'll serve well the new owner who'll be able give it the attention it deserves while finishing it out.

Totally stinkin unbelievable. Who, in their right mind, would not take this coach off your hands for that price, if they were looking? I have not seen anything like that for the price you have on it. I am assuming the rest of interior and paint is what is needed. With an engine like that one it has to be under glass. If I did not have so much in my coach already I would come get your's. Someone needs to take this on and finish it up.
There is no way I would price something like that. I am sorry that you have lost interest in finishing it up. Looks to me that it is ready to drive somewhere to be finished.
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Wish there was something we could say to fire you back up.

Ron, what you have done is truly amazing. I think 18k would be a bargain for
what you have created. I do not agree that no GMC on this planet is worth
75k although in the current economic climate it would take longer to fetch.
I can understand how you may be tired of looking at the coach but that is
only because you have covered up most of your amazing craftsmanship and
attention to detail with the re install of the body. I have a couple of
questions however. Why did you not convert to six wheel disc and why did you
not paint the body while you had it off the frame?

Respectfully,

Sully

Dan, I could not agree more. I have about the same amount of time and money
left on mine as Ron does on his and when they are both done his will be MUCH
more desirable. My goodness, I cant get the drivetrain and dash photos out
of my mind........That is just freakin SICK!!!

Jay,

In reading some of the responses to your email it appears that there is a bit of confusion regarding this GMC, it is NOT yours it
belongs to Ron & Cathy wherever they may be!

Regards,
Rob M.
