originally cost 13,800, adjusted for inflation that's 100,000. A house bought by that family a year later cost 15 thou.
2 piece fiberglass, and never been in as much as a bump in the night.
The front bumper doubles as a bench and storage.

we had one of those when I was a kid,
ReplyDeletemy father bought it in the late 7-s for cheap, like $1800 or something,
we lived in the mountains and the 318 was no where near powerful enough , especially towing a boat or trailer loaded with dirt bikes, so he found a wrecked Roadrunner or Superbee or some chryslerdodgeplymouth with a 440 and had a local mechanic do the swap.
lots of good times in that monster, it was already well used, when we got it, so we took it on dirt roads, (we lived in rural Appalachia where the only paved roads were the state highways, all the county roads were dirt) took it fishing etc.
Wow, that must have been the coolest! And good idea to get a big engine. Got any photos?
DeleteNice, these old motor homes will hold up pretty well if you don't let them leak. This beauty must have been stored indoors, air pollution and the sun can really ruin a fiberglass shell.
