This weekend I'm going to look at a 78 Revcon being parted out in western NC.
I saw it last October. It's all there and nothing has been removed since.
78 was the last year of the Toro based drive train. There is no telling how close it is to a stock toro.
Also don't know if it has a 403 or 455.
Anyone intereted in anything?
I have been in a dialogue with the seller since last Fall. Around December she was diagnosed with cancer. She's doing chemo now and making progress. My concern has shifted from getting a few parts for myself to helping her get rid of this beast without a big mess in her yard.
thanks

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.

North Carolina does not seem like a big state until you drive across it from East to West.
The coach is in Albemarle, NC, about 230 miles from you. I guess it's more like central NC.

Yeah, that's a bit much. I was thinking like Cahsiers or Highlands or some such.

I'm about 50 minutes west of Albemarle, NC. Anything I can do to help?

Not really at this time, unless there are parts you might want.
Commmunication has been scant so i am waiting until i meet with her to get a lot of questions answered like the condition of the drive train, why it was parked, etc.
If you know of a scrap metal yard in the area that will do her right that might be helpful.
In my experience when you say "motorhome" to scrap yard picture they picture stick & staple junk with very little recyclable material.
