Believe it or not, the lien holder on this Airstream (a relative) won't release it, so the deal is off and the Ambassador will continue to sit in the junk yard, useless.
I really thought I'd finally gotten hold of this Airstream, if only for salvage, but I guess 5 years of trying isn't enough. Not that I'm giving up, mind you, so watch for more news in 6 months or a year!

I had a buddy who was pursuing a car for years - close to twenty - and one day he got home to a vm from the owner saying get your butt over here and pick it up or it goes to the junkyard. The guy told him when he got there that he'd arranged for the wrecker to show up that night if it wasn't gone so he beat them by a couple of hours. It would have been a sad ending for a 32 Ford hot rodded in the fifties that was still very driveable. I suspect that at some point you could get a similar call from the trailer folks if you keep them aware of your interest. Good luck with it. And hopefully they don't equate that interest as a revenue stream for them.
The owner is probably holding onto it, thinking it will be worth a lot of money some day. However, the longer it sits in that location exposed to the weather, vandals, and people looking for loose parts, by the time they decide they want to sell it it won't be worth anything.
