Update on my barn find, coach is coming along nicely and I have been fortunate to be able to work on it, in a warehouse where I found it. Thursday it is getting new tires all around, new belts , master cylinder and oil change. 
Shout out to Paul Ferrigno and Ty Hardiman for help with the leveling of the coach and battery hook up. The coach leveled out perfectly at 100lbs in the airbags and using the Shrader valve inserts.
Looking forward to getting this beautiful coach out of the warehouse and have it see sunlight for the first time in 20 years. Hopefully it will be successful and uneventful although I am very realistic to the issues that may arise. I still am very excited about watching it roll on out.
Note, airbag pressure will vary with load including tanks, so it's better to set up a measuring stick to set the bags to the proper height for travel, or better yet, convert to https://www.gmcmotorhome.org/threads/microlevel-new-version.92817/
It's good to hear about your progress, thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to some outdoor pics. Park it somewhere scenic on your way home for fun.
Progressing nicely, new thermostat, new hoses, new belts, new brake booster and master cylinder, new tires, batteries and spark plug wires. Runs like a champ, it's still in the shop however, the first master cylinder they installed was 1"to long and the hood would not close.
"Ellie" was at her first car show on Thursday Jan. 8th, in Durant, Oklahoma along with several other vehicles part of the Blast from the Past car club. She was a hit, its amazing how many folks remember these motorhomes from dreaming about owning one, to it being there favorite Barbie toy. We had about 40 folks do a walkthrough and were simply amazed that this 51 year old coach was still as modern and beautiful as it was back then.
If you look closely, you will notice the drink glasses have GMC II etched into them, the microwave still has the styrofoam packing and literature in it, apparently it was never used.
Just an interesting note, evidently the coach came with the wheels you see featured in the brochure, however after 2000 at some point Alcoa had a recall on those type wheels and they were replaced with the ones you see in the current pictures.
Hi Friends,
Due to family illness that has been a detriment to us and As bad as I don't want to do this, I am putting Ellie up for sale, she still has less than 16k miles on her and in immaculate condition. If anyone knows of anyone looking for an awesome coach let me know. Looking to ask 40k for her.

You might want to list in the 'coaches for sale' section.
