Don't have 1970 price list, but the 1963 Land Yacht models were:
22' Flying Cloud $4994
22' Safari $4995
24' Tradewind $5340
26' Overlander $6032
28' Ambassador $6500
30' Sovereign $6945

Self contained models:
16' Bambi $2990
19' Globe Trotter $3995
(These prices include a $5.00 contribution which entitles the purchaser to a membership in the Wally Byam Foundation)

My parents bought a 1970 Overlander in 1973 (used) for 6K plus their 1966 TradeWind (24'). I still have it.)

I have a '74 Sovereign along with all the original paperwork.
The A/S MSRP listed the base price at 10,745.
With options such as Vista View Windows----$140; air conditioner----$495; Thermopanes-----$313 and more ------- the final MSRP was $12,571.15.

The original buyer dickered a bit and got free delivery out of state for $12,084.

I bought it a few months ago for $5000--------pretty good value retention on a 29 year old trailer. $244/ year!!!
