This looks like a good candidate for another frame-up rebuild. But I'm looking for some info and original pics to see how the layout is supposed to be. Any info is appreciated! Sorry for the crap quality, this is what the seller sent (along with some other pics):  Unfortunately the seller is asking too much, I'm hoping they'll eventually back off once no one wants to buy. They're asking $1k for this, and $3,500 for a Scotty in similar shape (rot in spots, "partially renovated", not usable in current condition). Not sure why they think it's worth that. |

I guess they gut it? No title?

I'm thinking if it doesn't have a title, not worth the time to go look at it. Also, 70s trailers have lots of MDF and they are more difficult to repair. I'd say 2 to 3 hundred.

I'm perfectly fine with no title. My current trailer didn't have a title (it does now). In Florida it's not that big of a deal, at least not to me, I just title it as homemade. All I have to provide is a weight statement showing it's under 2k lbs. It's very easy.
I'm looking for a trailer that has a frame, axle, skin, and windows. I expect tons of water damage or partial/full gutting. I plan on doing another frame-up rebuild, but I'd like to have good skins this time (new skins are so expensive!), and this one fits the bill for that, if I can talk him down (nobody will buy it for $1k).
There are interior pics of walls/ceiling, it's not completely gutted. But they're all terrible pics, I can't tell what the layout is, or should be. Which is what I'm curious about.

Definitely not a tag a long. The tag a long wheel well is straight across the top with a 45% angle at the front and back. Also should have tag a long sticker/emblem above the front window.
