This trailer was advertised in our local newspaper. I have seen it and would definately buy it myself if I had the cash. I have no business intrest in it at all. Just wanted to pass it on to you all. It's very nice!! Looks like someone kept it in a garage or something. One small dent, newer Dometic fridge, newer toilet, perfect Zolatone interior, zero rust, intact belly pan, very cute jalousie windows in the door, Worthington tanks, all systems work. The only thing wrong with this little cutie is that someone attached some sort of tool box looking thing where the rear bumper was. Looks like a very recent modification that could be sawed right off. Then you would only need a bumper.
I took a few pics I could post tonight if anyone is interested. He is asking $7500. I would offer less but not much. It's probably worth what he's asking. In the New Orleans area.

Holy crud, Heidi! It's gorgeous! I can't believe what great shape it's in, and it looks like it's never been restored - but rather appears like it was put in cold storage for 35 years.

OK, that's the best laugh I've had today, Brad. I absolutely agree. Heidi, buy it! We can fight over it later; I can't find my checkbook.
I am very interested in this trailer. Any advise on the condition, originality, price etc. I think it could sell quick. I would be buying sight un seen. I talked with the owner and he's only had it for 5 months, so he's not certain of whats original or not. Does have newer fridge. Anyway, any opinions ?
I was wondering about the wood partitions, which seem to be done in a panelling, as opposed to the solid plywood. I'm not saying it's bad, it looks good to me, I just wonder if that's original. I've never seen an airstream with that.
Otherwise it looks nicer than mine in some ways. I'm jealous!
Yes, I carry a printed sheet of it in my van. It's great for a quick model year check as well.
It seems a bit on the high end as it is. I only base that on the things turning up non original ? Bumper, paneling, fridge etc. And I wonder what else.....The owner claims to know of nothing non original on it but he's only owned it for 5 months.
It is a beautiful trailer, but I'm leaning towards one maybe a little more original, even if it's in greater need of TLC. I also would have about 6 days travel time and $800 to pick it up. So if the price were lower I'd proubly jump on it.
I'll know when the right trailer hits me....
Take care, Jesse

On the plus side, it's clearly been well cared for, and that bodes well for the frame & floor, which would be your other big concerns.
Are you familiar with this comparison of condition & value?
