Vehicle description

Very rare, have not seen another exact model, 1961 Terry. Nicknamed "Ellie" after her original owner, this trailer was built in El Monte, CA and has lived her almost 60 years around the SoCal/NorCal area. We are 4th owners. Clean CA title, we just moved to MN from San Francisco, so you will have to register in your state. Tows straight and sometimes forget she"s behind me. Towed from CA behind a GMC Yukon with no issues. Also have towed with a Subaru Outback.
We are motivated sellers. Willing to also help with shipping costs if you are out of state.
We have way more money and time into Ellie than we are asking, as we want someone who will love her. We are preparing for an overseas move, hence the reason we are selling her. With a little more love she will be a show stopper. We are in the middle of inside projects but these are more cosmetic (curtains, installing cabinet hardware, trim etc), otherwise she is ready to camp in!
No leaks. 18" includes the tongue. Body is in good condition for its age, does have some dings and scrapes that are cosmetic. Beautiful vintage trailer in great condition! Lots of work has been put into her mechanical systems, but still are areas that you can add your touch and vintage style! Tons of storage and vintage details.
