Built by GMC Truck & Coach Division of GM from 1973 to 1977 (when GMC found it more profitable to build trucks), this RV could be had in two different lengths up to 26'  On a self leveling air bag suspension and with front wheel drive, the power came from a 265 HP Olds 455 cid V8 coupled to a Toronado transaxle. Mileage was a reasonable 9-10 mpg (I barely got that from my '79 Lincoln. There were 5 different floor plans with accessories galore. Automodello offers 3 different variants: the luxury "Palm Beach", the "Glacier" and one that made it across the Pond, used by the British "Hesketh Racing Team". Only 142 models will be made of each.

@rich-sufficool 

I saw these models at the Countryside/Chicago last October. They have lots of detail and look great. Enjoy yours.
