Earlier this week, whilst searching for proper engine belts,
I spotted a coach in a back parking lot.

Today I went by there and asked about it. No problem on
getting a look at the coach and the TZE.

It's a 1973 Sequoia 23 footer, TZE033V101694

It's in rather sad shape, but the folks who were working
at this place (apparently a slot machine repair shop!)
gave me the name of the owner - Derek Stephens (not sure
of spelling) and a cellphone number. He is supposedly
"working on it" and the engine is in some state of rebuild,
possibly cylinder heads.

Cellphone number is 405-659-9911.

I'd say it might be okay for John Shotwell or Dave Greenberg
to call, but suggest that others do NOT pester the owner.

Mac,

Derick lives in Shawnee -- and apparently visited the convention. He has posted once since meeting several GMC owners.

Well, Derick has a tough row to hoe on that coach. I'm
sure glad mine is not as far gone as his seems to be!

I guess I need to give him a call and get him interested
in coming to the Oklahoma City Lunch Bunch gatherings
that haven't been held in several months!

I _think_ I talked to Derick and his wife(?). Seems he was GIVEN the 23 foot coach. They told me it needs a lot of work.

I'll do that, Mac, as this coach is not listed in the Registry! Thanks for the information!

As someone else has posted, Derick Stephens actually came out
to the Shawnee convention/rally since it was his home town!

His email is Derick@metaltechinc.com

I'd venture a guess that those who handle such things should
welcome him to the group! I don't find him in any GMCMHI
membership roster that I have.

I'd hazard a guess that "it needs a lot of work" is a big understatement!

TZE033V101694 was not listed. Could you send me the locale where it
was seen, copying John?. Perhaps I can backtrack into Derek's address.

Thanks!

The coach was/is in Midwest City, OK which is
a suburb about 6 miles east of OKC. The owner
has been identified, he actually came by the
Shawnee shindig, and he is in the process of
restoring the coach.

I am in contact with him and will probably
meet him in the next week or two.

The phone number is valid and I posted his
email address sometime yesterday, but here
it is again.

Derick@metaltechinc.com

He owns a custom fabrication shop, so I expect
that his coach will end up as a really special
example! He wrote of replacing the cabinets
with custom-built aluminum items!
