Hey don't laugh, someone would pay good money just for the shell. Agree... if you can find a buyer for any amount... $1,000 to $10k you can keep 100% of the money. Seriously
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

We had an old one that looked just like that at the Ranch. GrandDad bought it YEARS ago at a farm auction and was gonna fix it up, but never did.
It disappeared and Dad called the Sheriff and reported it stolen.
About a month later, the Sheriff called me and said he’d found it a couple of towns over with some wetbacks living in it. They had painted it bright blue with brushes and a 5 gallon bucket of paint inside and out.
Sheriff asked if I wanted to come get it? He had arrested the wetbacks and turned them over to ICE.
I told him No Thanks, and to burn that fugger to the ground or haul it to the dump for me. 🤠

If it gets stuffed with cedars and lit...
And "Stumpy" is nearby... I will post pics.
Posted on Facebook Marketplace and 87 people claim to want it...
The proverbial question of why they need a four-wheel drive truck and a gooseneck trailer and a chainsaw to cut the trees that are growing through the frame is confusing to some.
Many want to know if they can live in it as it is... and if they can tow it home with their Prius.
The world has gotten amazingly stupid.

That's awesome. Is the cannon pointed at a deer feeder or a pig trap?

Insane... 110 inquiries on Facebook Marketplace.
One guy offered $2k if I would hold for him.
Holy Smoke... people are nuts.
Apparently in restored condition these things are $30k.
Guy said the original door lock can fetch $1k.
People have lost their damn mind.

People have lost their damn mind. Told ya. I have no idea why you'd leave easy money on the table. Donate it to a good cause if you don't want it.

I see you are from Woodbridge, VA. I graduated from the old Gar-Field HS back in 1966. I don't recognize anything there now.

Put that on Facebokk campers forums and it will be gone. Plenty of folks looking for vintage campers.

Entertaining thread...looked them up online and sure enough those campers can bring some coin, even in that state. Learn something every day. Some say they are built better than Airstreams.
You are definitely leaving some money on the table at $1.00....😁
Good luck finding it a new home!

Seriously, I would NOT give out too much information regarding location. Tweakers will strip it for the aluminum and leave you with a huge pile of trash scattered around. BTDT... Major PITA...

Aluminum rolling beer can looking campers have gone off the rails stupid $$$ wise. I’d throw a ghillie suit over it until you secure a buyer.

Family friends that have watched over this land for 25 years before we got it, have a son and a daughter in their early twenties. Really good folks. The family is a logging family and has plenty of equipment.
After hearing the stories of potential value... the family decided it could be a fun project for the kids to sell (They also have property along a main road with lots of road traffic).
They will collect the trailer, do the research based on the model number and serial number still on the placard and cross post to the Silver Streak and Airstream type trailer sites. They will also leave the collected trailer on the gooseneck trailer for possible delivery later.
Told them they could keep 100% of the money except for the $1 they owe me. They're excited about turning this trailer into money... which they will of course turn into guns... because they are great kids from West Virginia. LOL

Have that son and daughter join Tin Can Tourists the country's oldest and largest vintage trailer organization in the country. $20 per year. "Members can sell their vintage camper for free in our classifieds and they get their ad marked as features". Lots of old trailer enthusiasts there. https://tincantourists.com/
