Ken, I think you are in Colorado,.....Durango, right?   Were those three
A/S, a Bambi, a Caravel, and probably a GT, .......were they gutted, and
built in Durango???  The polish jobs look pretty good, and the fabrics,
and accessories blend well, but like you say, how are the mechanicals?
Does the plumbing, and water system work,  do they have grey tanks, do
the heaters work, and do they have LP/elec refrigerators?  For $150K,
they should all have rebuilt Henschen dura torque axles, with new
brakes, and shocks, and completely new LP systems.  The plumbing should
all be new, with new pumps, and valves.  All new wiring, and fuse boxes/
breaker boxes.  As Donald Sutherland said, in the Dirty Dozen,  "They're
very pretty, Colonel,.......But can they FIGHT?"
