This is a Barth, not an Argosy, but still a short high quality motor home. It has been sitting outside for sale for 2 years now.

Those Barth’s are pretty sweet too!

Masochists is an accurate description for a person wanting to take on this project. Vintage Airstream trailers are enough for me and I’m not doing a frame off restoration.

It is in Roseland, Va off route 151. Here is a roof photo. Ya, I thought about it.

Well the last two years have had me busy with other projects and dealing with some health issues. I have the health issues (Thyroid) corrected so I’m getting motivated to get it going on the Argosy. I’m thinking seriously about doing a LS3/4L80E swap and possibly a turbo setup. I think it would be an awesome power train combo for the Argosy. Definitely would not have any problems merging onto expressway traffic. [emoji23]

Steve, I’ll snap some pics. It’s missing the roto dinette. [emoji30] I’d love to find one to restore to put back in it.

I have to make sure I take plenty of pictures. I’m bad about doing big write ups on projects. I like pictures better I guess. [emoji13]

Yep! I saw that one! I think one Precision Turbo would be just fine for my needs. [emoji23]

Well, when you have one project that you put on the back burner, what does a person do? Get another one. [emoji23] Click image for larger version

You're definitely a glutton for punishment!

Looking forward to pictures of it.
