Description & More Pictures

Our beloved Greeny is looking for a new home.

This beauty is ready for a camping trip right away. Under 10k miles on the rebuilt engine – these engines go way over 100k
We got this original 1976 Palm Beach in Kentucky in 2021. It comes with a logbook that has been started by the original owner. All trips, oil changes, tires, brakes… up to upgrading/changing major parts.

My wife, our 2 kids and me lived in it for 3 months – and travelled from the USA east to the west coast (02-05/2022).
In 07/2023 we did a 4 week trip on Vancouver Island.

I will drive Greeny down to Santa Barbara on 09/24

Now Greeny is up for sale.
We invested around 65,000 USD in her : )

We live in Germany and own another GMC over here. It’s a 1974 Eleganza SE and we will keep it forever …and upgraded it even more.

If we would live in the USA/Canada and keep the 1976 Palm Beach, these are the next upgrades we would do:
New propane heater (we did not need one) and ceiling upgrade

Upgrades we would not do, but might be interesting for others:
new paint, repair cruise control (hard to repair or find a new one…)

This is a rare 76 Palm Beach in a great technical condition – one of the most thought of motorhomes ever.

We can share a folder with 100+ pictures and videos of Greeny as well as an cost-overview.

No requests by resellers please.
We will only sell to a private person who shares the love for these motorhomes just like we do.
