If this is the wrong place to post, i apologize, just delete it. Just trying to share if someone wants it.
There is a gentleman in Ririe, idaho selling this , his name is John Maupin, & it's to be found on a facebook site for selling vehicles under $3k.
Hubby & i went to look at it tonight, but it's beyond our desire to fix up. It would HAVE to be a frame off restoration, because of the condition it's in. I thought i'd let you all know about it, since some of you are quite the professionals ~ :-D
Here is what we saw ~ serious water damage in the ceiling & in all the corners, floor rot to the point of mushyness, original turquoise stove still in it, original icebox, but the front skin is broken completely off. Countertop is pretty snasty, & could not be used at all~ cupboards are all water damaged. Bed & bunk are in ok shape, no toilet, but looks like there used to be one. Axles have been flipped & has new u bolts, but leaf springs are not refurbished, hitch is quite high. Skins are mostly in good condition, but roof has been completely tarred, & all seams very badly caulked. Trailer & tongue seemed in ok shape. Window glass mostly there, hornets nests in the entrance, sink had both pump & faucet in ok shape.
The aluminum skins are in pretty good shape, due to bulging walls, some have come out of their creases/special bend.
Never been smoked in, but it's a rot trap.
It's a cute compact, but it's in need of SERIOUS work.
Also, he was pretty firm on the $500, because that's what he had into it.
If anyone is interested, i can give you his number.
