I started this on Facebook and the pictures are there.

So in one of my parts runs to Alex Sirum Gmc, Jeff told me about a 23' coach down in Cudjoe Key. He had been contacted by the owners daughter about
selling the coach. I told him I had an event in the Keys in a few weeks and I could look at the coach. Well after a wonderful weekend with the P1
Superstocks, My wife and I cruised down to look at the coach and meet with the owner and his grandson. The backstory was the coach had been in the
hurricane in the Keys in 2005 and had been only driven once after that to it's current storage lot.

The exterior is not too bad, the interior is all there, but falling apart. But the worst is the frame. In most areas it's just gone! I not sure you
could pull it out of the dirt without pulling it in 2.

I have the VIN TZE336V100620, I wonder if we could check and see if it ever made the registry?

I talked to the daughter of the owner, her father has failing health and she wants to clear up his affairs in the Keys and move him to her home in
California. She was hoping the coach was worth something and was willing to use her AAA to get it loaded and out of the Keys. I told her I thought, at
best, someone would take it as a parts coach and save it from just going to the scrap yard.

I have her contact info, if anyone has some thoughts let me know. I hate to see a 23 go to scrap.
 
G'day,

Sorry Mate this GMC isn't even in the running! ;-)

The winner of the prize for southern most GMC is Philip & Wendy Chilcott of Spreyton, Tasmania. :-)

Tell her to give the GMC a second chance at continued life by putting it on Craigslist or other site for $1000. and see if there is any response in a
week. If not, drop the price until it sells, but don't give it to the scrapyard. There's got to be somebody out in Fla. (or anywhere) that wants those
parts that are made from unobtainium and will consider it worthwhile to go get them. Possibly a need in Texas for parts after Harvey gets done with
them.

Would second that as its a 23' The unincorn of unicorns. Too bad its on the other side of the country. A guy just got rear ended I think in Wa
State with his 23'. and if the body is decent on this one in FL, well there you go.
