As we are hurtling toward Chippewa Falls, Mary (The Driver - I was answering net messages) noticed a GMC with a For Sale sign at about exit 147 of I-94. That makes it Albany MN.
That's all we could grab at 88ft/sec.

Matt - See you at Chippewa Falls

That GMC is starting to get annoying.

I love that everybody I know keeps their eye out for me on deals, and GMC motorhomes that they run accross. The problem with this one, is he has it parked right out by the interstate, and he is asking twice what it is worth. So I get a call about once every month from someone I know, and sometimes every other week, telling me they spotted this GMC for sale.

I first seen it at a different location in Albany, almost 2 years ago. He then moved it over right where it can be viewed off the freeway, and it has been there well over a year.

I took some time to email that guy but he never responded, and I suggested as nice as I could for him to lower his price in order to sell the GMC. After about the 20th friend that called me to tell me about that one for sale. It has top rated exposure, he has it on craigslist, so if it has not sold in over a year, he might want to visit his price. I would guess that one is a $3000 unit on a good day. You are going to want to buy it as one to restore and put the other $17,000 in.


here is the current craigslist ad:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/rvs/4612349878.html


was originally $8000. a month ago, the tires were rotten, and about every other rubber part on it, looked like it was original and showed it's age. It might run, because It was moved about a year ago from another location in Albany.

the pictures on craigslist show it looking alot nicer then I remember two months ago, when I stopped again to look it over. I am just guessing the pictures on craigslist are not current.

Yup, looked at the Albany coach a year ago. Agree on the assessment that there must be a LOT of negotiating room in the price! It is a 77 Kingsley (early 77 w/ 455). Looks like it was repainted 10 or 20 years ago, parked and not driven since. I have the Vin if John Shotwell is interested.

Thanks for the heads-up on this coach. I'm ALWAY'S interested in getting the TZE's for the Registry. Even tho you have the number, I was able to get it off of the RPO sticker, because, which is usually NOT the case, the seller included the picture of the sticker in his ad!

Upon checking, we find the coach is NOT listed in the Registry! Imagine that! So if anyone can get ANY info on it, please do... and let me know, please.

Thanks,
John
