Yes, all M engines come with the 4000-- no exceptions if it has an Allison transmission.

This rare FT really is a full-up U320 with a GV nose and mid entry.

I haven't seen as I am very happy with my 96.  I think at first blush, seems like a very fair deal for a FT with a slide.

Looking at the pix, it shows a retarder stick in the normal position.

PPL.is great for making stupid mistakes on info sheets. I have noticed that a lot on many coaches.
Just had a 94 240 GV brought to me so I can change out the charger/converter to the Progressive one to get rid of humming and better charge etc. So even here in Mexico I find work to do on them-amazing!

Donna and I were at PPL today and took a quick look at this interesting coach.  It is a little rough looking at it.  Doesn't look like the bests of care was taken. Partial paint job shows decal ghost where not painted and rubber deterioration were obvious.  Carpet stained in several places.  Can't speak for the mechanics but if price allowed for a little remodel and you love GV's?..WOW, what a unique coach you would have.

My big concern would be all of the things you can't see. My philosophy has been that if you can evaluate the previous owner then you can get a good idea of the vehicle you are evaluating. In this case, the previous owner isn't available and it appears as if he/she didn't give the coach the proper care. That would really concern me. Unless I could get the coach at a rock-bottom price, and then had plenty of time, money and patience to bring it up to an acceptable condition I wouldn't buy it.

Also looked at it, today, great floor plan, but looks  "rode hard and put up wet".

I'd buy this thing, use as is, and resurrect it over time if its decent mechanically but $60K is already stretching my budget and I'm worried mechanical issues on something this rough would pop up as they always do causing it to sit and just get worse until I could replenish the coffers.

I have only bought one motor home over the last 40 years that I did not have to spend any money on after I bought it to make it usable. That was the last one I bought. It had been upgraded at FOT a year before I bought it and the previous owner fell in love with one with a slide at FOT when he had it there for service.

If paint job is any indication of the shape of this unit I would plan on spending some money after you get it. If you are maxed out just buying it I would NOT buy this coach.

Well John,
2000 GV320 at FOT
There a 2000 GV320 at FOT now :D Only thing, asking price is $109 ::)  Looks like a better example of the late GV's. Appears to have had headlight conversion, I expect the graphics are painted on...

That'd be worth like $85-90k to me.  But I like overpaying for things :-P

Don, nice but I would have to do all the changes again to it I have done to our 295 so really it does not make sense to me. We like GVs but !! I will continue on with installing flooring etc then see.
