Last updated 12 hours ago
Description:
Offering a structurally complete 1978 GMC classic motorhome project. This coach features a massive mechanical head-start with a fresh, restored powertrain, but it requires cosmetic, body, and suspension work to be road-ready. It is an ideal canvas for an enthusiast looking for a solid foundation to customize.
The Mechanicals:
Powertrain: Approximately 15,000 miles on a restored engine and transmission. Starts and runs strong.
Suspension: The factory rear air bags are non-functional. The rear suspension is currently aired down, and the system will need to be mechanically sorted. The vehicle will need to be trailered or towed from its current location.
Exterior & Roof Condition:
Body Panels: The fiberglass and aluminum body panels are structurally straight.
Paint & Finish: The paint and clear coat are heavily weathered from sitting outside, particularly across the roof surface. It will require a complete repaint and fresh roof seam sealing.
Included Hardware: Comes equipped with its original full-length aluminum roof rails, upper storage pod/cargo box, and the rare rear-mounted spare tire carrier featuring the original flexible handle lowering mechanism completely intact.
Interior Condition:
Cab & Galley: The front cockpit, dash, captain's chairs, and kitchen/dinette area are in remarkably clean, intact, and well-preserved condition for a project vehicle.
Rear Bedroom: A roof leak caused interior water damage in the rear sleeping quarters. Some of the cabinetry and paneling in this section are currently disassembled and the rear bedroom requires creative interior restoration.
Pricing:
Asking: $8,500
Open to reasonable offers from fellow GMC community enthusiasts who want to take on this classic.
