Question on price, 1969 Cardinal

It looks like a nice trailer, but I can't get past the painted interior. Ask to see pictures of all the work done, a good restorer would be more than proud to show them. I am sure someone, more knowledgeable than I,  can answer your questions.

I agree with chickenfarmer and Mobiltec, ask for photos.

"This gem has been completely restored inside and out."

 These days people are posting photos of their toothbrush on Facebook. So nobody restores a camper without taking photos. Ask for photos before the restoration, during and after. Tell them you want to see the areas with the most water damage. If they say "We didn't take photos", walk away.

As for the price, $7400 seems on the high side for a late 60s camper that was painted inside. But if they took it down to the frame and rebuilt it, the price is not totally unreasonable. I assume they have a title in their name with the correct year and brand? It's worth asking.

A few basics:
No title worth less.
Paint is worth less than amber woodwork.
1950-1962 costs more than late 60s early 70s.
Ham shaped campers are worth more than toasters.

Some people love the painted look but most paint the inside to hide rotten or stained wood.

Take an ice pick or very small screwdriver and climb under it. Poke around discreetly for rotten wood. If the wood is rotted anywhere then the ""This gem has been completely restored inside and out." comment isn't true.


 

OH! One more thing. The diamond plate on the outside is about as tacky looking as a window air conditioner hanging out one of the windows.

Cool looking trailer. Kinda rat rod looking. Little chrome with the black paint and red wheels. I like it. Looks like it's gone though with post deleted.
