Need info

[DLambson]

I have a chance to aquire an Airstream trailer that is going to need a lot o work, having been vandalized and every single window busted out. I am trying to find out the year of this trailer. I down loaded a bunch of pdfs with data but couldn't locate it. Here is some pics of trailer and name plate. I would appreciate any info before I jump into this. I am suprised that ther are no bullet holes in it and the seller claims everything was working before the vandalism.
Thank
Dane

It appears to be a 1970 Sovereign. Here's the info on Vintage Airstream:

Welcome to the Forum, Dane!

Windows can be quite expensive. Is it something you could replace, or would you be leaving the labor to an Air$tream dealer? Water damage, vandalism, critter invasion while open all degrade the interior cabinets, appliances, and floor. Not a situation that favors a novice or their wallet.

If you've done restorations before, I'd say go for it at the right price.

Wow. All the windows busted out... Compartment door missing, surely extensive water damage if exposed to the elements.

I might take it as a parts trailer if it were super cheap or free, but I doubt it will be a worthwhile persuit to bring it back to life.

Sort of makes me wonder if it were truly vandalized (there should be broken glass, etc. if it was) or if the owner "parted out" the expensive windows and hatch covers.
