Floor appears to be in pretty good condition from a very limited examination. Tires are shot, one ven in roof is gone and has been exposed to elements. What do you think, is it worth fixing if I could purchase for $1000.00 or less?

PRO
1. "Floor appears to be in pretty good condition..."
CON
1. "left to fall apart in field since 1965"
2. "Lot of things missing"
3. "Door has been removed"
4. "most everything is there but in terrible condition"
5. "Veneer is coming off all cabinets"
6. "trashed a lot of it"
7. "Tires are shot"
8. "one ven(t) in roof is gone"
IMO, if you were to deduct $75-$100 for each of the CON items above, maybe it'd be
worth that. Each of those items will cost you
at least $75-$100 to fix. BTW, I seriously doubt you will find the floor is in "pretty good condition" once you get into it with a door & roof vent missing -not in place doing their jobs, keeping moisture out.
'63-64 Safari's are not that hard to come by...and in better condition. If it were a rare model or had unique history, maybe it would be worth it, but unless you have lots of emotional attachemnt to that particular trailer...keep on looking.
