EBay exotic: Pristine GMC Motorhome
Thu, 10 May 2012
This eBay listing for a 1976 GMC Motorhome started making the rounds on Twitter on Wednesday.
These Oldsmobile-powered, front-wheel-drive land yachts are among the only truly beloved vintage motor homes. While other highway dinosaurs succumb to leaky windows and mounting repair bills before spending decades rotting next to garages and barns, a good many of these old GMCs have been maintained in good working order or restored.
This particular MoHo has been sitting in an airplane hangar for 29 years and appears to be incredibly well preserved. In fact, it looks to be brand new. The seller claims that the ice trays it came with from the factory are still wrapped in their original plastic. Every button, light and switch functions perfectly.
We've been pushing for an autoweek.com mobile headquarters, and it looks as if our case just became a little more compelling.
