[VAL] Silver Streak?



I know this is the Airstream list, but I also know Tom Patterson has a weak
spot for Silver Streak trailers as well.  I have a question about one I found
for sale on the side of the road yesterday.

The lady tells me it's a 1971, and a very rare one.  She also assured me it
was made by Airstream...

At any rate, it IS a bit different from other Silver streaks I've seen, in
that it has a trunk on the back, and the front quarters are windows, protected
by curved aluminum pieces from rocks and gravel while on the road.  They
quickly remove to reveal curved glass windows when parked.  It's quite clean
inside and out, and she assures me that everything works, including the roof
AC, although it doesn't have an onboard genset, and would rely only on hookups
to use the AC.

Naturally, my question is:  from what to what might would such a beast be
worth?

OK...two questions:  Is it really a particularly rare model, sought by
everyone who loves Silver Streaks, as the seller claims?
