That DOES look like an amazing deal. OTOH, it could easily have a fatal flaw that has reduced the value to what you see. Being from the frozen north, it's always possible that the frame rails (and anything else underneath that's steel) are suffering from rust. Still, be careful about spending too little on a GMC - the old adage about them all being $25,000 coaches is more or less true (whether you pay that up front, or in maintenance over the first few years of ownership).

Someplace I saw Coachmen ended upwith Norris, but it might of been Midas. Whichever wanted Norris for their towable product, not necessarily their upfit business. And, mines a '76 from both paperwork and TZE, but has a Norris sticker and VIN beside the drivers' seat.

I believe there was some kind of relationship between Norris and Midas. If it was a '75 I would be thinking Norris.
The Coach in the ad looks like "a steal" if it can stop and go and the frame isn't rusted out. (If I didn't already have too many GMCs.... )

Norris' and Midas' were built in both years '75 & '76 with the
majority in '76. About 38 in all are listed -both brands.
