Yeah, this one isn't one I would buy long distance, sight unseen.
With all the windows missing there is bound to be water damage and those Corning windows are expensive to replace. But, if the price was right, you were able to check it out beforehand and you were up for the challenge....the body looks pretty good ~

From the pictures, it looks like the tanks have been removed as well. The placed where the vent would come through the skin has been patched. With most of the windows broken out, I can only wonder what the inside looks like. It looks like a shell with bas axels to me.....

I'm trying to figure out what the vertical pipes, attached to the tongue at the front corners are? Any thoughts?

Well...give up the location for us west coasties if you've decided not to purchase. Someone closer will probably snap it up if it's going that cheap!

My thought was home built stabilizers? They're on the rear also.

Great Pumpkin is corect. They are stabilizers but I was told that AS offered them as an option then. I have seen a few on other vintage coaches so I doubt the are 'home built'. I have them on my '66 TW.

Hmmm...they look odd that far out away from the body. I've see those on the back before ~
