Congrats, but we won't tell you anything until you post some pictures and tell us about your new Airstream!

I wondered who bought that.I saw the ad,where did the other one go ?
I'm in grants pass
The seller was handling mine for a friend of his who decided he wasn't up to the task of restoring this one. That friend wound up buying the other one instead.
My family owned an Airstream when I was a kid. My sister and I were reminiscing about it on Saturday. She went on Craigslist found this one for sale. She took a good look a the pics and got VERY excited. She texts me: "believe our old airstream is on CL. sent you a link." I took a look, called the guy and the rest is history.
The triangular sticker in the back window was the clincher for Sharon. The can opener and shred of curtain was the clincher for me. Once we saw it in person there was no question.
The exterior skin is in very good condition. The interior is in poor condition. Water and rodents. Good news is all the hardware and cabinetry pieces are there, so we can make patterns for re-manufacture of the rotted woodwork after we gut it.
It looks like we have a complete gutting in our future. Will post additional pictures later.
Awesome Find! Welcome to the forums! Very exciting! Ask any and all questions about restoration as you go along... lots of help to be found here! Also, take a zillion photos as you disassemble and such, you will use them for reference when putting it all back together!
Have fun!
If that's the same one you grew up with, you've definitely made a good purchase. There may yet be a LOT of money to spend, but it's the Airstream you traveled in as kids... congratulations!!
