Rare 1974 Airstream Argosy - 32 foot (yes 32 foot)
http://reno.craigslist.org/rvs/3920165630.html
Excerpt from sellers ad:
"As far as I know this is the ONLY 32' 1974 Argosy in existence on the entire planet. "Why" you ask?
Here's the story:
I am the third owner, the person I bought it from bought it in a fundraising auction held by the original owners and only drove it once from Central California to Gardnerville NV (130 miles). He used it for a few months as an office for a small hotel he was running. The original owner is really the guy with all the great stories, I will retell the important ones as best I can.
He bought it new in 1974, it had a Chevy 454 on a P-30 Chassis. In 1974 Airstream's longest Argosy was 24'. It lived for 10 years as a 24 footer and in 1984 Airstream started making a 32 foot motorhome; the original owner wanted one, but he already had an Argosy. What to do? Why turn the 24 footer into a 32 footer of course! So he gutted it and took it in to the nearest Airstream factory where he had them extend the chassis, add an air-ride tag axle, and re-skin the newly added tail end (and add a new, longer zip-dee awning). It was now a legitimate 32' Argosy! The owner was a cabinet maker and he completely designed and built a brand new, gorgeous interior. He used a lot of original Airstream parts (overhead compartments, lights etc.) but the floorplan and everything else was his design. I have the original, hand drawn plans and all manuals and paperwork for all the interior hardware.
So that is basically how it became the only 32 foot 1974 Argosy motorhome in the world (as far as I can tell)."

Saw this today in Orchard Mesa, Colorado. On a dealers lot. Think it was called "Top of the Hill. " needs some serious help but thought I would pass it on to those with more energy

Looks very good from your photos though.... what serious help does it need? The floor plan seems very practical with that rear corner double bed.
I see they`re asking $12k:

I would do it but lack the energy. She looks good in the pics but as you might notice the original stripes are gone so she will need a complete strip and polish, leaks are evident but would be taken care of during the outside refurb. And, you really never know what you will find.... I was just passing by the lot when she caught my eye. Always wanted one. A few years back and I would not have even thought twice. Wanted to let those that still can know. Hate to see her on a lot....best if luck

IMO, the rear room, be it bedroom or salon, is the neatest place in an AS. I can not imagine why anyone would wasted it on a bath or galley. We back ours up to the lake, river, or mountain... to enjoy the view. One disadvantage of a rear engine is you are committed to the center queen bed which is a nice bedroom but I think it should be the living room. Wrap around seating convertible to sleeping, dining, TV etc. Its a great place to sit while on the road with a wraparound view.
