Is this right? or did someone half cut down an astrodome?? dont know if it is even a Shasta? weird windows, and the bottom in the front doesnt have the curve??? or is this a rare one??? the add has it as a 66 but I though this body style ended in 64-65? here is the craigslist add as long as it is up, corvallis.craigslist.org/rvs/4429669760.html |

I think it has mag wheels... and don't forget the Burber carpet. Can't wait to see those interior pics they post TOMARROW. And HAPPY CLAMPING!
OK, I'm not usually one to criticize. But I NEED to know the real story on this one.

Asking price is $11500. The latest definitions would point out this is NOT a "restoration", no matter how you try to shoehorn it into the definition of the word. corvallis.craigslist.org/rvs/4429669760.htmlHere is your Ad Copy: " REDDING CA) THIS BLAST FROM THE PAST IS A VERY RARE AND UNIQUE FIND READY TO ROCK AND ROLL! 1966 SHASTA, 18 FOOT LONG 2900 LBS. COULD BE PULLED BY A SMALLER VEHICLE .THERE IS A FULL BED ABOVE THE DINETTE, COMFY TO LAY ON. AND THE DINETTE HAS 3 SEATS, MAKES INTO A FULL BED AS WELL SO CAN SLEEP 4. NO WOOD ROT, SOLED ORIGINAL FLOORING WITH BRAND NEW BURBER CARPET LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, CUTE LITTLE KITCHENETTE ORIGINAL STOVE/OVEN, SINK, AND ADORABLE WORKING ORIGINAL FRIDGE!! THIS TRAILER HAS A VERY UNIQUE LAY OUT. THERE IS A ROOMY WOOD COUNTER ACROSS FROM THE KITCHENETTE YOU COULD USE TO PREPARE FOOD OR WHAT NOT. WITH A BASKET HOLDER AT THE END YOU COULD USE FOR DIRTY CLOTHS OR STORAGE. A LARGE CLOSET, TONS OF STORAGE! VERY HOMIE. EVERYTHING WORKS!!

" (Editorial: I do not know of anyone that had one of these so the "blast from the past" line renders the question, "Whose Past?" "Happy Clamping!!"   Can you say, "TONGUE WEIGHT"  ? This is going to require a slimp dolly. |

Apologies to Universalexports, I didn't look before I posted. (My comments were originally posted as a new separate thread...didn't need two for the same absurdness  . ) |

It appears the antithesis to the "dome-cutters".... Sorta like enclosing your front porch...

Oh dear. It looks as though somebody put the front of a 1966 something onto the back of an SC. Weird, weird, weird. Can't wait to see those interior pics!

Just noticed, the ad is listed in the Corvallis craigslist... Corvallis is in Oregon. At least a four hour drive from Redding, CALIFORNIA. The plot thickens.

Well, OBVIOUSLY, they had two domes and one was cut: That part went under the dome on this one...
What a mess. To me, it's lost the charm. I love domes...

I don't know what it is or who built it but many things are possible it could be a factory prototype that was made when they were thinking about changing body styles from ham to toaster and if so it might be worth a fortune if it could be documented. It also could be a modified original. or it could be a total custom built to resemble a Shasta just to mess with peoples minds. As for tongue weight if the dinette is in front and the kitchen and a complete bathroom are in the rear it might be well balanced. Who ever built it and weither you like the style or not it looks like they did a good job on the out side at least.

I'm sure it will be to someone's taste and hopefully, for that price, it is built well. Reminds me of rat rods, you either like 'em or you don't! And it's definitely an attention getter. Bill, you've got a point. I could be worth a fortune and we just can't see it |

It looks like 3 campers rolled into one. It looks like three campers that were rolled down a steep embankment into one. What you can see is the seam that runs vertically, just about down from the middle of the side windows. This started out as an Astrodome and someone closed it in under the dome ....er...bunk. I'm just betting is was someone that aspired to be a "cutter", but didn't have the heart, and to make up for it added an apartment to the front end.  |
