Vehicle description
1961 AIRSTREAM "BAMBI" I TRIED TO PURCHASE THIS LITTLE AIRSTREAM FOR MORE THEN 25 YEARS. THE OLD GUY JUST KEPT TELLING ME NO , BUT KEEP IN TOUCH AND IT WOULD BE MINE ONE DAY. SO I FIRST SAW IT OUTSIDE IN HIS BACK YARD, HE SAID HE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW, CAUSE THERE THE BEST YA KNOW. I WENT TO HIS HOUSE A YEAR LATER AND IT WAS NOT IN THE YARD, SO I TALKED TO HIM. HE PUT IT UNDER THE CARPORT. SO EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO, I WOULD GO TALK TO HIM. HE JUST WANTED SOME ONE TO TALK TO I GUESS. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AFTER TALKING TO HIM ABOUT IT FOR 25 YEARS, HIS SON HAD A 69 CAMARO IN THE YARD FOR SALE IN A CRAIGS LIST ADD. I RECONGNISED THE CAR, AND BEHIND IT I SAW THE TRAILER, I CALLED AND WENT TO SEE HIM. WELL HE SAID HIS DAD JUST PASSED AWAY, THATS WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS THE GUY THAT WOULD COME AND TALK WITH HIM ABOUT IT FOR YEARS. THE SON SAID THAT IT WAS WORTH THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, I KNEW I COULD"NT PAY THAT MUCH FOR IT. WE SETTLED ON 18,500.00, AFTER HE SHOWED ME THAT THE REFRIGERATOR STILL WORKED ON LP GAS AND THE STOVE BURNERS FIRE UP IN A PERFECT BURNING PATTERN. I BOUGHT IT TO GO TO THE CARS SHOWS HERE IN OCALA, FL. I PULLED IT WITH MY 50 WOODY WAGON, AND MY NOMAD. THE WOODY WAS THE SHOW STOPPER WITH THE TRAILER PULLED BEHIND IT. I HAVE THE WOODY FOR SALE AS WELL. WHEN I GOT HE TRAILER, IT HAD DUST ON TOP SO BAD THAT IT HAD MOSS GROWING ON IT FROM SETTING SO LONG. I AIRED UP THE TIRES AND PULLED IT 15 MILES HOME. I WASHED IT WITH PURPLE POWER, FIXED CRACKED WINDOWS, AND PACKED THE BEARRINGS. I SPENT THREE FULL DAYS BUFFING IT. PUT NEW SCRIPTS AND AIRSTREAM PLATES ON IT AS WELL. MY BETTER HALF AND I PAINTED THE INSIDE, SHE WANTED A TEAK WOOD FLOOR GRATE COVER IN THE BATH ROOM, SO I MADE ONE FOR HER. I RECENTLY INSTALLED A ROOF AIR SYSTEM THAT WILL FREEZE YOU OUT ON THE HOTEST OF DAYS, COST 250.00. THE BEST THING IS THAT I DID "NOT" HAVE TO CUT THE ROOF, IT FIT PERFECTLY IN THE VENT HOLE. THE ROOF HAS NEVER LEAKED! SHE SAW A FLOORING SYSTEM THAT WAS VINAL PLANKING THAT LOOKS REAL, SO I INSTALLED THAT TOO. WE TOOK IT TO AN APHOLSTERY SHOP, AFTER PAYING 250.00 DOLLARS FOR THE CUSHIONS, THE COVERS WEAR 550.00. I FOUND A SET OF FOUR BRAND NEW REAL CHROME TRUE SPOKE RIMS, COST 800.00 FOR ALL FOUR. BOUGHT THE AIRSTREAM LOGALS, AND NEW TIRES 375.00, HAD THEM INSTALLED AND AWAY WE WENT. MISC PARTS LIKE LOGALS SCRIPTS, ALL LOCKS WITH THE KEYS, RESCEENING, ALL THE SIDE LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, LISENCE LIGHTS & PARTS ETC. WERE AROUND 500.00, WITH OUT SIDE LABOR LIKE WHEELS AND TIRES. SO WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER 22,00.00 INVESTED. HOWEVER, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS THING HAS ANY MORE THEN 10 OR 15 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. THE GUY JUST NEVER USED IT. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE IT EITHER, SO WE DESIDED TO LET SOMEONE ELSE ENJOY IT. WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADVERTIZER PIECE FOR A BUSINESS. THEY ARE PERFECT FOR PULLING BEHIND A STREET ROD! TRY TO FIND ONE THIS LOW ALL SET TO GO. ALL OF OUR RESTORED LABOR IS FREE TO THE BUYER. IT IS OLD, AND AS ALL OLD CARS AND ANTIQUES WILL BE SOLD AS IS NO WARRENTEES, BUT WE KNOW OF NOTHING THAT IT WILL NEED. A 500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED AT THE END OF AUCTION. YOU CAN CONTACT ME FOR INSPECTION BEFORE THE SALE ONLY, NOT AFTER. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, WITH NO RENOGOTIATIONS ACCEPTED. CHECK OUT MY FEED BACK SCORES, I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THEM AT 100% AND WANT TO STAY THAT WAY, AS WE DO CARS FOR THE RONALD MCDONALDS HOUSE CHARITYS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS OR SO. CALL RON AT 352 362 2972.
