That's a local trailer to me and I'm familiar with it. A local artist had it displayed at various locations,Really it's pretty cool.

I salvaged this one and sent parts all over the U.S.. When I recycled the aluminum and the frame I got $220.00 for the aluminum and $96 for the frame. If they had known that the axle was full of heavy rubber, I would have gotten less. It is a ton of work for a few $$$

Not craigslist, but a drive by in Sterling Heights, MI. I have no affiliation, but saw this old tandem axle Avion with a for sale sign in front of a Metal Scrap yard today. No price listed, but the scrap yard phone number is in the first photo.

Not sure of the year, but assume late 50's or early 60s. It's in rough shape, needing some lower exterior panels replaced due to gashes and a full floor replacement and new interior, but posting it here just in case someone is interested in a large project trailer. All of the 13-panel front and rear upper end caps are in good shape.

It's sort of interesting that this Avion was stored in the same storage yard as our Airstream several years ago, then still with some of it's interior cabinets. It disappeared several years ago. Didn't see it again until the chance drive by today.

If anyone is interested, I did take a few more photos than I am posting.

Vintage Airstreams in KY listed on Craigslist...

I came across this Craigslist which includes a one owner 1963 Bambi.
I have no idea if any of these are good deals since I know nothing about vintage Airstream pricing. Thought I'd just pass it along.

What really is the likellihood of a one-owner 1963 Banbi? If the original owner was say 30 at purchase new he/she would be 81 today. Call me skeptical.

Someone in Facebook tied to the same phone number is selling some MGTs and an '82 Jag. I may actually call re the XJ6 - it's no E-Type but it inherited much of the same styling...

This ad looks very familiar. As I recall it was not on the up and up.

It's a 3rd party listing service. Probably should have been listed as for sale by vendor.


As far as the Bambi having only one owner: it's possible. Unbeknownst to anyone in the family, the father of my brother-in-law sold his early 1960's Airstream when he was in his late 80's. He was still using it just two years before it was sold. We were all disappointed since it was in excellent condition and he maintained it very well through the years.

This Argosy is listed on the Mobile, AL Craig's List. It's in Foley, AL, southeast of Mobile. This business seems to have several old vintage trailers.

Airstream Argosy Bambi & SALE

Not many photos, price seems ok.

I have a line on a '55 Whale-tail Flying Cloud. If I can sell this for enough I'll have no regrets at all.
