Must have been quite a sight back in 1974, the same year Brads 20' Argosy just rolled off the assembly line.

It sure seems to have withstood time a lot better than mind did

Very true.
I agree, I take back what I said, that does take a lot of talent and I'm still learning the tiniest, easiest little fixes.

It's one of those cases where beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't personally care for the look but I can appreciate the effort that was put into it.
I'm really curious as to what vehicle the windshields were originally made for. That had to take some effort to get the aluminum frame to mate with the glass.

OK, I'll accept the term "UNIQUE", but a forced marriage....maybe arranged. Regards, Bob

I heard the guy built that after he had to replace the power steering pump belt on a 345 in August at rush hour on IH20 outside of Houston, with his wife and kids inside and the generator not wanting to start.
Just kidding guys....

I'm familiar with this fire damaged Classic. The seller left out the the fact that it's been water damaged as well. I'm also not convinced that he drove it after the fire damage. Based on the damage I saw I done think it could have been driven.
The inside is pretty messed up and the skin, inner and outer has been warped. Not sure how much of the glass I would trust due to the amount of heat damage.
It would be a good source for some parts like the drive train and any exterior parts that weren't close to the heat.

Looks like Larry Hagman's 1984 Airstream is back on eBay again...

I'm also chuckling at the $100,000 of solar panels that Larry added on......
I'm hoping he gets the 250K for it and more, as this just means the paltry 50k I want for mine is a screaming deal.
Cheers

Nice looking 74 Argosy 24' motorhome that appears to be in pretty decent shape overall. Doesn't sound like it's been ran for about 20 years would could make it somewhat of a challenge
