In checking with RJ's website, they came in right around 2,880 pounds dry weight. If you haven't reviewed his sight, here's your opportunity to check out his info on the '57 Flying Cloud's.

57FC

Best of luck and I can only surmise that if you're asking about its weight, there's still an opportunity here for you.

Don't delay, act today.

Good luck if you get a shot at it. Get two, their small.

She wasn't specific, what she meant was one trailer only per person so you're in the clear. Now you just need to choose who's trailer is who's.

You wouldn't have checked CraigsList if you weren't looking.

Whew, missed it. The seller got the full $1400 asking price.
Thank God! - the internal conflict of what to do if the opportunity remained to buy it was too much!

Sadly, I doubt I will see one again.
