[VAC] Re: In search of advice from the Airstream Gurus



Jeff -
 
For 7k, i'd want it both complete, original, and all appliances/systems (water/propane/12vdc/110vac) fully-functional. For $1500 for a trailer with a solid floor and intact skin...and about 3k for renovation, you'd have that - plus the satisfaction of knowing that it's done, and done correctly. If you haven't 'twigged it' already, airstreamers (particularly the vintage crowd) enjoy the 'process' as much (if not more) than the thing itself.
 
Do yourself another favor and get Burkhardt and Hunt's "Airstream - History of the Land Yacht," check out the Iowaboys' website - http://www.iowaboys.com/ - and keep your eyes peeled - the airstream you're looking for will find you - it's a kinda mystical thing...
