1955 Airstream Cruiser/Overlander 13 panel 26 foot : eBay Motors (item 250625426105 end time May-08-10 16:55:10 PDT)


Have a new frame built, new floor, and do your interior magic. Just need some dollars and a barn. Maybe you have to replace on panel. The guy in VA could do that easy. Has one of those english wheel thingys.

No English Wheel needed, all the panels are flat.

The 13 panel trailers are all flat, however there is a bead on the bottom of the panels on some trailers.

Did you see the '49 that thinks it's a '47? Lots of neat goodies inside.

I wish I had a farm with a large building and Goldman's money. I could just about solve the unemployment problem putting these back together and selling them. I'ld lose money on each one but it would drive the guys selling the new one's nuts.

Asking price on his website is $2450. That's probably the reserve too.

Deep pockets?

How about this one (ebay item #180498436565)...polished & ready to go! We have at least that amount (plus blood, sweat & tears!) into Birdy...

Gotta love the FC. The other one would have to be a labor of love and deep pockets.

Newby question:
Is this normal for this trailer to have the window partially revealed inside the bathroom or did the owner adjust the walls this way?

Hrmm. Odd on the window. I wonder what the reasoning behind the partial window is...

And that unusual camper Mistral, is really cool!
