Video Walk Through of My 1974 FMC 2900R Motorhome

- Right after I purchased this 1974 FMC 2900R Motorhome, I did a quick three-minute video walk through, showing the overall interior and exterior condition. As you can see it is extremely well-preserved. The seller demonstrated that all the house systems are operation al with the exception of the water system as he was in the process of fixing the front water tank.
Before I outfit my FMC 2900r to my specifications, I will do a complete photo and video documentation of the coach.
At this point, and it is not essential as I don't have any immediate plans to drive it, is to find a passenger-side windshield. So if you are a member of the FMC community and see this and have an available windshield to sell, please contact me by leaving a message in the comments section below.
Very cool. Best of luck with it. From Glasgow Scotland.
Lovely looking motorhome. I've heard of the FMC 2900R. But I've never seen one up close. :)
GMC MOTORHOMES WERE INTRODUCED IN 1973.
Congrats! I just bought # 460

The discussion board is great. Introduce yourself there.
The owner roster is also a big help.

Your coach, 0460, is shown there to be owned by Brent. Is that who you bought yours from?
If you would like a direct way to contact me, write to me direct at fmc2900r@g**l.com.
Nice score!
Can you mount a later model 4 speed automatic? For better power and fuel? I'm looking at one of these and I'm curious
Nice find hope it works out for you👍let me know how it doing from time to time
when are u gonna go on the road with a mounted camera
Soon, hopefully, November 1 when I drive it cross-country to a car show in Chicago, then to New Jersey to be with my family for the holidays.
Have you done anything fun or special with the FMC since you bought it? Do you have any plans to do more vids of this bad boy? :)
Jason, I have removed the passenger-side bed and replaced it with a storage system.
Check out my follow-up video, if you haven't already, to see how it worked out.

Thank you. I'll check it out. :)
I posted a follow-up video to show how things have evolved since I finished the installation of the rebuilt 440.

To everyone that asked, I paid $5000 for my FMC 2900R (and had the engine let go on the drive home necessitating the installation of rebuilt 440) and $2900 to install the rebuilt 440 I bought from a friend for $400. So I'm in it for $8300 and have been living in it since September 2019. I love it and plan to drive it cross country this Summer if the Covid 19 restrictions lift.
I plan to drive over US 50 -- the Loneliest Road in America in Nevada -- to Salt Lake City to have an EFI system installed, then to a number of automotive-related stops at museums and events before arriving in Michigan in August to take part in the Woodward Dream Cruise. While in Southern Michigan I plan to visit the Henry Ford Museum where the FMC 2900R used by CBS newsman Charles Karult is on display.
Then the plan is to drive to NJ to spend the month of September with my mom before heading to the University of North Carolina where I plan to spend time examining the personal papers of Charles Karult are archived. I plan to be in Chapel Hill the night of the 2020 election.
Have just seen this post after seeing one on British TV, she is a beauty how has it worked out for you?

@@nocturnal7312 I still can't find it and I have someone who wants to buy it, besides me. If you can post the URL/link here, I would appreciate it greatly.
The fiberglass motorhomes are better for heating and keeping cool as they don't absorb that energy like steel and aluminum does. This one was super clean. Thanks for showing it! I'm nosey though, if you wouldn't mind, what did you have to give for it?
To answer you wanting to know what I paid for my coach, I don't think that's a fair question to ask someone. What I will tell you, after replacing the engine, I was all-in for less than $10K.
Wow
