77 Royale for Sale in GA

[Ken H.]

My daughter saw a GMC For Sale by Owner in Griffin, GA over the weekend. I
just talked to the owner and offered to post this information in case
anyone's interested:

'77 Royale with 64K original miles
Present owner's had it for 10 yr.
Redone interior (no details)
Chrome hub caps (No Alcoas)
Rear bumper & fiberglass damage
(Not in photos; he estimates $800-$1200 repair)
Was $18,500 before damage, now $14,500
Phone 678 six one four - zero one 40

​That's ALL I know.​

Ken, I think that coach was listed in craigslist with some pictures. In my opinion, no way worth the asking price. May be a different one:

Fayetteville he says.

Could be. For some reason I'm being blocked from Craigslist so I can't
look. The price is definitely too high, especially with the reported rear
end damage. The owner says he was the owner of Sagan RV, if you remember
that dealership. He's not very communicative on the 'phone -- he said "I
had the interior redone ...". After waiting for him to continue, I said,
"What, upholstery, carpets, what?" "Yeah". So I gave it up. He claimed
that someone offered him an $18,000 cashiers check for it last year, before
it rolled backward into the tree, and he refused it. I told him, "You
should have taken it!" He'll be lucky to get $10K and $8K would probably
be more reasonable -- IF the interior's in good shape and it's really only
$1200 in repair work.

Neither you nor I want it anyway.

From the pictures original wheels, dated tires, will need a rear cap plus repair to whatever got bent underneath it. Cockpit seats look
reupholstered. Rear settee/bed upholstery doesn't match the dinette which doesn't match the cockpit seats. Also needs (I susopect) hoses, tanks
dropped, belts, transmission drain, refilter, refluid, etc. etc. Has a newer radio poorly mounted in the dash. Everything else looks box stock based
on the last Royale I glanced at.
I'd ask him when the tanks were dropped, alcohol proof hoses added, date code on the tyres, when last has he taken it anywhere, are the brakes good.
I >might< offer 1500 deoending I could find a rear cap and it runs and shifts properly and the brakes stop it. I suspect none of these are
happening.

Also front seats don't match. Both FexSteel in white, but different patterns. Rear and intermediate tyres on driver's side flat or nearly so.
Carpet's rolled back on the hatch, indicating problems under it.

A new rear cap is not one of the lighter matters.

My son has a rear cap in Marshville, NC.

According to the number, same one as I noted - craigslist number is identical. Pictures are there. Information changes though - 9800 dollars, 12
year ownership, couple of other discrepancies. I'd shine it on.

I've got a rear cap on the parts coach. The Royale is way overpriced though and I dont need another GMC project. Based on the damage, I doubt much
is hurt on the frame, perhaps the bumper shock absorber.
