Great condition, one of the finest. They were so beautiful when they were new in the 70's.To restore a normal 120,000 mile one, to look like that, would cost a lot.
Had my hydro hot annual servicing performed at another shop, tried using it and I got nothing. Stumbled onto unique customizations and Josh Smith. He is extremely knowledgeable on the hydro hot system and was willing to share his knowledge his knowledge with me. Josh performed a inspection on my system and discovered a wiring connector that had vibrated loose, having not been locked properly. Josh’s attention to detail and his obvious professionalism was impressive. The bill was fair and reasonable. I Will not hesitate to bring my motorhome to unique customizations for all of my future servicing and repairs.
This is my idea of what a motorhome should be. It's large enough that two adults could live in it full-time if one wanted, but it's not so huge that you couldn't drive most places. If I were to buy one, I'd keep as much of it as stock original as possible, but I'd also upgrade a few things. 🙂
@@uniquecustomizations2222 Among the upgrades I'd give it would be switching from all drum brakes to disc brakes in front and drums in the rear. I'd also make it a Diesel Pusher by having a Turbo Diesel engine installed, I'd think either a Cummins 5.9 litre ISB Turbo Diesel engine, or possibly a Duramax 6.6 litre Turbo Diesel. 🙂
What is that "special" horn? What does it sound like from the outside of the coach? You activate it from the inside of the coach, but what does it sound like from outside? say from across the parking lot?
The mustard colour was original, very few are still this original colour. There are a few out there with engine conversions. 12 Valve Cummins and late 2000 and aught Duramax have been done. I've had a look at the 7.3 gas engine and 6R140 transmission, just about the same overall size as the original 440 & 727. The transmission body is considerably larger and may require adjustment to the floor. Brakes and steering can be a challenge.
@@uniquecustomizations2222 I've never seen an FMC Motorcoach with rectangular headlights. Actually, I've never seen one in person at all. I saw one parked behind a fence in storage facility. Although I couldn't tell what year it was, I could tell from the shape of it that it was an FMC Motorhome. I would've liked to have gotten a closer look at the coach, if nothing else, but to confirm what I thought it was. But sadly, I had somewhere to go, and couldn't stop to look.
@@jasoncarpp7742 actually I don't think there's one thing original still on there, except for the outside paint job. Believe it or not, even those cabinets are not original.
nice video.great tour!

Hopefully we will get to do another video on some of his other units.

We agree this one could use some upgrades to make it more user friendly, but still maintaining the look and feel.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the stock engine was a Chrysler 440 cu. in. (7.2 litre) V8 engine.
Compared to the other motorhomes on the lot, I find this to be the best looking. 🙂
I hope this has a reverse vision camera. It's be easier when reversing to be able to see what's behind you.
There is one of these in the woods near where I live.
It bums me out when they redo the original interior on these classics.. Actually a tragedy.

What sort of engine powered this bad boy? 🙂
I have one here yellow mustard colored without a motor trying to figure out which one to put and what transmission

The headlamps don't look original. They look awesome! Didn't most RVs of the time have circular headlamps? These appear to be rectangular light bulbs.
From my understanding each one was built slightly different,but from what the owner has told me this one is all orginal.

There's lots of stuff on this RV that's not original. Countertops and headlights being two of them
@@thewiseguy3529 I'm sure there are. Every RV should have a back-up camera, to help them see what's behind them when they Reverse.

I’d be interested in one of these when the owner decides to sell his. Please contact me here.
All fmc motor coach came with 440 gas engine,
True, but many were converted to Diesel engines by their owners
