I talked to Jim on the phone this evening. Bus belonged to his son, who sadly passed away from a heart attack recently.
Coach is located in an RV storage about 10 - 15 mi south of Charlotte, NC off I-77 at Exit 90. Says it's on the grounds of the old Jim & Tammy Bakker Heritage USA property.
Jim needs someone familiar with GMC buses to meet him there, probably in September (he's in FL right now), to adjust the clutch properly after a "mechanic" did and made it worse. Says reverse solenoid works, but won't pull it into gear after the "adjustment." He can get it into reverse using the old broom handle trick.
Coach is fully converted, Jim says his son would often spend weekends using the bus.
After he gets the clutch issue resolved, the bus will be for sale at a very reasonable price, as none of the other family members are interested.
Jim is also "electronically-challenged", so will need help from fellow busnuts taking/posting pics to help sell the rig. He doesn't own a computer, so using this medium is foreign to him, thus the help request. (There are no pics available at this time.)
So, who's in the Charlotte, NC area? Uncle Ned?? Gene Russell?? Anybody else in that neck of the woods that could help?
Thanks, guys!
FWIW. . .
