Vehicle description
Great original condition, 1966 28 foot Airstream Landyacht Ambassador. Good tires, everything works. Almost everything is original, such as stove and refrigerator. There is a carpet, but the original tile floor is underneath. The roof AC (Carrier) , and the hot water heater have been replaced a few years ago. Has an original 1966 NM trailer plate on it! Comes with valid NM title, but the plate is expired.
No "remodeling" has been done, so for better or worse, it looks just as it did in 1966. However, I tapped into the gas line, and ran a line for a modern freestanding indoor nonvented propane heater (see photo) . There is an easy shut off valve, so you can remove the heater in five minutes if you dont like it. Also, I professionally ran a couple of 110 lines, with about three boxes each (see photo). All the original wiring and 12 volt still works, but for the TV, Microwave, etc, it is nice to have stronger current. Never had a leak or water leak damage.
It has a built in "Mad Men" three bottle hard liquor bar! (which will hold wine bottles as well!)
I have been using it for several years for my guesthouse for occasional visitors. So it is all furnished with things like indian rugs, Route 66 cups and plates, etc. I took off the holding tank, so that it drains directly to the sewer. If you want to use it for camping, you would need to put the holding tank back on. ( In this year of production, there was only one tank for grey and black water combined.) It has been tied to city water at my place, but the drinking water tank and pump still work fine.
You would be hard pressed to find a nicer original one. Yes it is a little funky, as it is all original- and 50 years old. But you could tow it cross country tomorrow and use it without problem (well, except you probably would need to add the holding tank back on). It could use a good polish job.
The trailer is located near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Towing stabilization bars included, as well as the original superduty trailer hitch (see picture) . It has a 2 inch hitch. It tows fine- I have pulled it across the country two or three times. I used to tow it with an F-150 just fine. I have owned it for 20 years.
The couch has a professionally sewed Route 66 tapestry, see picture, no wear or damage.
