For Sale: 1978 GMC Royale (rear bath) ready for restoration - This is a 1978 GMC Royale that I purchased to refurbish. I haven't worked on it in the last couple of years (many other projects have taken priority). I have been paying for storage on the unit for several years and am now ready to sell it to someone who wants to complete the project.

The coach is located in the San Diego area but is registered in North Dakota. (Unable to pass smog test in California due to non-original engine.)
You may follow the link to a PowerPoint presentation that includes much more information about the coach as well as high-resolution photos.
When I bought it over 12 years ago I paid about $9,000 for a coach that needed a lot of work (that was in the good old days when $5,000 for a parts coach was considered a bargain). I probably have over $15,000 invested but know things are not worth what they were a few years ago. I am asking somewhere around $3,000 but am open to all reasonable offers.
Since purchasing it I rebuilt and recovered the dash, installed the new gauge panel (which still needs some modification), installed new shocks, tires, front and rear sway bars, new generator and electrical panels. I did a lot of interior work and more needs to be done. As you can see, the exterior needs paint.
Hoses, belts and brake lines have not been replaced. Fuel lines and in-tank strainers (socks) were replaced but that was almost 12 years ago. I have probably put less than 200 miles on it since I have owned it and have no idea how it handles on the freeway.
Overall I believe $3,000 is a fantastic price for what you get. But, before driving it a long distance I would have it checked out by someone who is very knowledgeable. Miguel from MGM is probably the closest GMC mechanic (about 100 miles).
If interested send me an email and I will respond as necessary.
