When I visited Clarence Buskirk in the '90s I had an opportunity to see his Coach at his Home which was also also quite remarkable. He had room inside his attached Garage for 2-3 Coaches, there was even a parapet around the Garage to reach the roof. From the outside you would never realize the huge interior. He even had a front Drive set up he was working on with a Chevy 454 or 501 as a replacement for the Olds 455.
He was very proud of his Personal Stretch which had many other features added to it. As I recall it was a bit higher than a Standard GMC as well as many modifications. I drove with him about 90 miles or so ( not in the coach) and had a great time listening to his stories about how he got into the GMC business. I was very curious about the reason for Two GMC facilities in Sandusky,MI he told me all about his relationship with Wes Coughlin of Cinnabar. He was a very interesting man with quite a story.

Clarance enjoyed showing me his latest projects and wanted to know
what projects I was working on.
When we came up with the 3.55 final gear, he would not believe me when
I told him that I just figured it out on my own. He pulled out a copy
of a GM drawing that showed the same ratio.
Our 3.55 is really a 3.54 (3.545454). I cheated and rounded it up .
