This motor home is exactly what the rock band, Poison used when they left the east coast for fame and fortune in LA around 86 or 87. Poison was the opening band in Baltimore, Essex actually for Wrathchild America, aka Shannon Larkin of Godsmack. Funny watching guys looking like girls coming out of Ken and Barbie's RV. That's what I see when I see these. Clean machine, man! Nice rig.
Cruzin Castles Sir, it was one of those nights that this happen. Things we have now to take pictures did not exist then, like cell phone cameras. Most times when we had warm up bands, we wouldn't know them until they appeared at the gig. Who knew "Poison" would be successful at that point in time. They were just some weird band who was carrying cardboard cut outs of sexy girls from their Ken and Barbie looking rig to use as stage props. The bass player Bobbi Doll ended up at my house that night because of a girl and next morning I drove him back to the Ken and Barbie machine so they could leave for California. That's the truth of it.
You know, I'll never understand why they stopped making these, or why people currently won't make something similar. It's the perfect size for someone wanting the "van life" that also wants to not feel so cramped. It gives just enough space for everything you'd want, and if you don't want it, you can renovate it to something you do want. And driving wise, it's not much different from driving around a van!
GMCs finest creation. Man, I would love to own one of these. Of course I would not change a thing. I graduated in 1976 so this interior is right in my generation. I love this.
you re lucky to have one, it still looks so fab today! those who decided to stop making them were seriously lacking vision. imagine what a 2018 version would look like! the design is brilliant!
I had a 1977 GMC eleganza. looked like yours excluding interior. There was a couch behind s driver chair that would convert to a bunk bed. But was our first rv actually it was my parents I was only 10 at the time but remember allot of great memories. Thanks for sharing you're video and enjoy your new rv!!
Oh man she is a BEAUTI! after so many years it's still the best looking RV in my opinion, amazing machine and you got a really nice one buddy. I look forward to watching all the cool videos you're going to post of this
They were Awesome. Great build. Tough. Look gr8 Drove like a dream. To this day they say it's the best riding rv ever I rember them well even though I was just a little kid when they were made
40 years later I can still see why the 1970s GMC motor home was the rage back then. one day a company in the future may make an incredible spiritual successor to this motor home. GMC 50" Classique class A.
Hi Cruzin Castles! Beautiful GMC Glenbrook. We just bought a 73 Sequoia and are restoring it, too! Hey, the plaid interior and awning look like they are in clan Buchanan plaid. We are Buchanans and know a bunch more who might be interested if it's in good condition -- so please let us know when you plan to find a new home for the plaid awning and fabric. Happy trails!
Cinnamon Twist Look forward to seeing your GMC. The fabric is not in the best condition. As for the awning we will probably use it until it needs to be replaced. If anything changes we will definitely keep you in mind.
The Barbie Star Traveler was a real human motor home from GMC? Gosh, how I wish I had this. I'd totally print out all of the life sized sticker decals to really bring a girl's dream to life! I LOVE THIS! Many blessings on your home.
Awesome spacious move in condition when you bought the RV home I see. I see the old upholstery was made to match the outside original green and yellow paint. Cute RV. A beauty it is! All you need now is some tinted windows, it might help to keep her cool without much cost. Not to mention privacy will still being able to see the gorgeous woodsy outdoors scenery when you get to them.
In terms of shape this is the coolest looking rv ive ever seen. Good layout too. Makes the most of the space without being cluttered. Wish I had one. Happy trails bud.
Thanks, there are about 8,000 still on the road, out of the 13,000 they made. Built very well!!!! The previous generation has really set it up nice for those of us taking the reins, but they are getting up in age and there are quite a few for sale. www.gmcclassics.com/chatter/4sale.html
@@CruzinCastles Look at 70's 80's vintage Porsche upholstery styling and colors. There were a lot of two tone checks, pastel colors. You could still be retro but stylish.
I LOVE all those windows!! Years ago, I bought a mobile home. It used to be an office. It had 21 windows in it. That is why I bought it. I love looking out. It didn't feel like a box.
Thanks, keep looking you will find one. There is a GMC Club in your area, if you look at their website they sometimes list GMC's for sale. What area are you in?
Truly a fantastic motorhome. Superb. Very best wishes from Sunny London, Emgland. Also, Anything built in Britain in the 70's would be rusted away and long gone.
What a gem! They did have many different upholstery patterns offered at the time. I want see it when it’s changed. These were forty years ahead of their time.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful GMC. I’m envious. Very thorough and helpful tour. Definitely get rid of the carpeting and tartan. 😆 The engine sounds great! Go, 455!
Alex Realyvasquez Thanks, it is the original paint, the carpet is white with stains from the engine swap, so in real life it's a little rough around the edges. It has been well taken care of and stored indoors, but we will be doing a little remodeling here and there from time to time. The GMC owners are pretty dedicated to keeping them on the road. The last owner spent some time and money to do just that and we plan on continuing that trend.:)Thanks for watching and commenting we appreciate it!!!
Paint job is in excellent shape looks nice. I like to look at GMC's I want an Airstream but they're kind of expensive. The GMC the same interior pretty much as an Airstream though. Have a great weekend and gave you a thumbs up.
Really nice, clean, and modern looking machine. It's hard to believe she's that old. Kind of reminds me of my old 1968 Caddy DeVille Convertible. She was way ahead of her time, too. Best wishes with her!
West Coast Blues Guy Thanks! yea GMC was really ahead of their time with this design, we really enjoy her, I wish a name would come to us, hasn't been as easy as I thought.
Fantastic absolutely iconic motorhome! Way ahead of its time! I’m sure you’ve read the history. And seen some of the restored ones online. Makes a really stunning restoration! I like your model with the bed in the back rather than the bathroom Way better than the one with the bath in the back!Hopefully you’ll allow us to tag along your restoration journey,
Thanks for posting this great video. You did an excellent job of showing us this wonderful old motorhome. I hope you guys have a great time. It will be nice when you get some nice panoramic shots from that back window. Thanks again! An old duffer in NH.
+bluelipbeaver Thanks for watching, look forward to giving the next tour once we have done the upgrades. I have posted some videos of some things we have redone already.
Thank you so much for that video first time I seen one of your videos and I got to tell you it really touched my heart I was a little little kid when my dad bought a 75 GMC motorhome and it was almost identical to that really brought me back I love that thing and I know a lot of people will look at this and say oh that things you know it's kind of rough but from personal experience I think that thing is in great shape it's going to need some work sure but people need to understand how old it is and understand that when those were made they were like 30 years ahead of their time nothing like them was even close to as good as those were I think you have a real Jewel there
Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Reupholstering is a great idea. When you finish I'd love to see how it turned out. Most motor homes are just ugly boxes on wheels. This one is special. You are a very lucky guy. You got a vehicle that was made before the bean counters took over Detroit. Nothing made since then even comes close in terms of creativity and build quality. Just replace the old tiny microwave, put in some LED lights and a flat screen TV and smile. You're good to go. I'd recharge the AC though.
hey dude, where are you guys? Not making any more videos, I learned a lot from them. My rain water leaks were the worst until I watched your video. Thanks for helping me get mine done
Good luck and lots of enjoyment. Would not take out vacuum, thats super handy. Yea change upholstery not a real big fan of that big plaid. Wood floors will be colder then carpet. I always loved the GMCs just could not afford the $1000.00 per foot price. Had a small 73 Winnebago 18 foot Brave that was sweet. Wish i still had it. GMC would have been the next one, a good used one.
We owned a 1974 for close to twenty years Covered the US in style Sold our wounderful FMC this wee Miss her it was time to move on Thank You to all the fine Folks we meet along the was
I lived full time in a 31 ft MH for 13 years. Great way to live. RVs are high maintenace so pay attention to wiring, keep everything lubed with pure silicone, seal leaks with RTV over clean surfaces, keep battery levels up and clean posts. use tie wraps to keep wiring from dangling, flush all tanks often and watch all tires critially as your life depends on them! Expect 6 to 10 MPG at best. Enjoy boondocking away from PEOPLE most of all. Enjoy!
Janice Adams We hope so, we definitely went smaller than we thought we would originally, but we believe we will be able to go to more of the places we would like to be.
Very impressive with so many innovative features for a 1976!!! And love how airy it is with those Huge Windows! There is one in my neighborhood that has never moved… for years. May check it out… Great vid.

Cruzin Castles Nice info! No surprise there is a fan club; such a cool-looking RV. I think its cream/light yellow, but will confirm the color next time I drive by & update you.
Cruzin Castles The one in my neighborhood is a Rialta RV, somewhat similar in appearance & size, but not what I thought. There is a 1976 yellow 26’ Eleganza II for sale in Naperville, IL w/58k miles on it; too far for me to see at this time which the Gmcer you mentioned may consider: Seller’s Ph# 855-600-7750 I was focused on getting a Diesel-pusher, but yours got me rethinking!
Great find!! someone really took care of it!! * and I actually like the colors and plaid upholstery, simply because it gives it an old fashion retro feel that I like.
The previous owner took great care of this ahead of it's time capsule. It appears that it has fallen into the right hands. Nicest I've seen of any era. What a beauty.
I have the exact same RV. Mine doesn't look that good I'll admit. It's still all original. Including 16.5 inch tires. What size rems and tire's are on yours?
They are a well-made motor home buddy. Yours looks like it was taken care of. A lot of those 455's had 385 hp. and 365 and 280 hp. They put a higher lift cam in the 365 and 385 hp units. A great thing to do is put a set of chrome headers on the old gal and it will add quite a bit of hp to her. Chrome keeps longer before they rust out. Pack some grease in the ball bearings of the gen slide and pull it in and out every now and then and you will be glad you did. Nice outfit.
Hi from the other side of the pond, really nice rig and that engine note!!! Like the 'sympathetic u grade ideas' to original to screw about with, really nice mate happy trails!!!
She's real!! The Rustbucket from Ben 10!!
now we just wait for the rust bucket 3
Exactly what i thought!
@@speedokinguThe rust bucket 3 already exists, but it isn't a GMC motorhome with a new coat of paint and a different interior

A great thing to do is put a set of chrome headers on the old gal and it will add quite a bit of hp to her. Chrome keeps longer before they rust out. Pack some grease in the ball bearings of the gen slide and pull it in and out every now and then and you will be glad you did. Nice outfit.
NICE BB 455....& loving those rap around windows
