Title: 1982 Airstream 240 24 - Missouri
I just posted a new ad on Airstream Classifieds.
UPDATE- 12-28-15 I had a brand new (not rebuilt) Chevrolet Performance 454 crate engine and components installed in to the airstream as having someone buy it without a working engine was too logistically annoying. I also contacted Airstream directly in reference to my model/year and was told (and can be verified) that only 6 1982 24' Airstream motorhomes were ever made. SIX! I know of 2 others which likely means not all 6 are even still around. So that means the PRICE has changed to $59,900 OBO. Or best offer meaning I will allow time for multiple offers to see who is the highest. I also will be polishing the entire unit as part of the sale...never got around to it before.
1982 24' Airstream Motorhome for sale. I bought this guy when I was a bachelor and had been my passion for about 4 years. Now I am married and well, now I own a home that doesn't have wheels. This unit is in great shape and I am very proud of it and I know that it is one of a kind.
Here is a link to a video I just posted showing my start of polishing. I have polished the middle section on both sides now.
I COMPLETELY renovated the ENTIRE rig. All the mechanical work was done by professionals and all the other work was done by myself. I have probably about 99% of the receipts filed away and listed on an excel spreadsheet.
FAQs:
-How is the transmission? The transmission was always very good for me. Never had trouble shifting into gear and always ran smoothly.
-Is the unit sold AS IS? Yes. I will not be offering any type of warranty on the rig verbal or written.
-How is the frame? The frame is in good shape and very solid.
-Any leaks? Nope. I nipped the leaks in the bud when I was in the early stages of my reno.
Here is a list of the renos:

Things I would have liked to do...and you may consider:
-I have LED indicator lights that I never got around to replacing the original ones on the dash.
-I wanted to replace the headlights with high-power LED versions (they're really nice) but cost was holding me back at $250ish each.
-The fan motor on the cab AC unit (not the big AC unit overhead) needs to be replaced with a new one and the air ducts I found are very brittle so I was going to put in new flexible tubes as well.
-I pulled a trailer with a Honda 6500 in it and other things. If you want to have separate generator power I would buy a Honda EU3000 and put it on a hitch carry all on the back. Great generators, quiet, and easily serviced, and you can also use it for other things not just the RV.
Pics that show items like clothes,pillows, blankets, dishware, etc are not included in the unit but may be purchased for an additional price.
Thanks for looking and feel free to contact me with any questions. First come first serve.
