The few upgrades and refurbishments on this 1974 GMC Motorhome for sale on Hemmings.com don’t detract all that much from it: After all, the folks who collect and own these rigs look at them less as investments and more as practical, useable classics. So the cushier seats, new generator, and upgraded appliances including a microwave installed in this 26-footer all lend themselves to a more enjoyable road trip. From the seller’s description:
This particular model is 26 ft long and is extremely easy to drive. You can back this thing up and do a u turn in it just about anywhere. That’s right, I said a u turn. If you don’t know much about these, one of the reasons is that it is front wheel drive and has an unbelievable rake on the front wheels and for a motor home will turn on a dime. The awesome part about these is the power plant that is underneath. These were hot rods with 6 wheels. Under this 26ft sled sits and Oldsmobile Tornado 455. This motor was putting out plenty of power to get this baby and your family efficiently down the road. We have even seen you tube videos of these things doing major burn outs. Not done on this one, but to say that it can be done. This motor home really speaks for itself when you see all of the pics that we shot. It has been upgraded to very comfortable newer style motor home seat. The generator has been replaced with a water cooled Honda unit that only has about 83 hours on it. Also there has been a micro wave put in as well as a more modern Norcold refrigerator. There are plenty of upgrades, yet plenty of the same old charm. This is one of the nicest survivors with one repaint that you are going to find on the road today.
