I think I saw this. It was one that was about 13 ft a 1967 Shasta? Crazy. Doesnt make any sense to me to use a vintage trailer frame for a flat bed utility trailer since the wheel wells create quite an obstruction. So this would have to be for its original purpose. Not worth $900.
Maybe $300.

Not worth $900. Maybe $300. No, it was a vintage trailer that the guy started to restore (i.e. tore it all apart) and was selling it as a project trailer. He had the skins, the walls and all appliances, but you had to pick it up like that, all apart. He was prepared to do a "frame up" resto, but something about the lot next door that he was using to access his lot was purchased by someone, so now he wasn't guaranteed access to his property through theirs. Sounds to me like he just got in over his head. |

They will pay for that decision since there are only a select group of people that would be willing to take his heap or metal and make it something again. |
