The message I sent to the seller is copied below.
It appears that this unit has been used primarily
as a cabin rather than a moving coach.

Maybe we can at least get the TZE added to the
data base.

Dear chrisjen0921,

Could you add the VIN to your listing? It should be in two separate places.

1) Label inside the glove compartment.
2) Plate on the engine side of the firewall on the passenger side.

The VIN is the number string beginning with TZE.

Thank you.

Mac in Oklahoma City

Mac,

I'll bet dollars to donuts it's a scam!

It says the coach is in Norway but the note the AAA stickers on the drivers window and rear bumper, Black and Decker toaster, all
the labels on the stuff in the coach are in English.

It will be interesting if the seller responds.

Regards,
Rob M.

Read the ad more carefully, Rob.

It states that the coach is in Norway, ME (as in the state of Maine)!

Google informs that it has a population of around 4600 and it's about
60 or so km NNW of Portland, ME and even has its own country club!

Dear k2gkk,

Hi Mac,
I was able to obtain the VIN number (TZE165V101135) from my aunt and I have posted it on the listing.
Thanks for pointing that out for me,
Chris

Rob,
There is also a Norway in Michigan. And I'm afraid I missed the Maine part,
as the wood roof is in keeping with the snow load that Norway, MI gets.

Mike,

In my case it appears to be the eyes! The very first line in the middle of the ad states:

Item Location: NORWAY, ME, United States

Somehow I didn't see that and that NORWAY, ME is repeated in the body of the text! Douh!

I've got to stop checking my emails just before I go to bed as my brain seems to be getting a head start on my nights sleep!

Maybe if it was located in Paris, TX I would have noticed!

Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,

If I remember correctly (that is a possibility), Paris is on the other side of the lake from Norway. It's been a few years (decades) since I left Maine.

The inside of that coach looks like it might be OK, but how may years has it been built into the woods. I might just need an engine and transmission, drive axles and knuckles, six brakes, seven tires, two gas tanks and a frame. I suspect that the seller does not understand the current market.

Common problem.

I wish the market was as good as some of them think... I could sell two of mine and pay Jim to fix the third up!

It looks to me like that GMC has been there so long that you might have to
fall a few trees to be able to move it. I have bought old cars that I have
had to cut out of brush piles, and it was not fun. That and yellow jackets
that have taken up residence under that shanty roof might prove interesting,
and PERHAPS might affect the value a tiny bit.<Grin>
