A very rare 55 YEAR OLD Class C Motorhome 99% Original and Complete. Been in rust free Arizona desert for most of its life. Was In Los Angeles prior to that. Runs and drives great. 7.50 - 16 tires on split rims. Tires were new 12 years ago and all hold air, and are probably OK for a trip of 100 miles or so to Phoenix or Tucson. For safety, new tires would probably be needed if going much further than that. Glass is 100 % original good on camper and all windows operate. Front windshield on cab is cracked and the passenger side wing window is broken out. Very little rust. The worst rust spots are on both front fenders and is shown in photos. Less than 3" rust area. Has air conditioning in the cab, but needs repair and recharge. Engine is 305 V6. Transmission is 4 speed manual. All coach siding is in good condition. No hail or other dents.
The aluminum roof has several Eternabond patches. The factory rolled roof metal has become brittle with age, and needs a full roof Eternabond overlay or other restorative repair. The interior paneling on the ceiling has some water damage and will need replacement. All the rest of the interior is completely original and complete and functions as it should. There is also some water damage to the wall paneling around some windows. The floor of the cab and coach are both absolutely solid and there are no soft, low or rust spots. All cabinets and drawers operate and are complete. The cab bucket seats and coach upholstery, foam cushions, and interior carpeting are all completely deteriorated and will need to be replaced. The bath is semi wet with toilet separate from shower. All RV system related pumps, tanks, gas and electric is present and original, with the exception of the refrigerator which did not work and was removed. Has the hinged back porch with sliding glass rear patio door and separate sliding screen door. A very rare and unique vehicle for restoration.
