I have an excellent 1973 Barth for sale - its a 26' loaded with all the features. Its on a Chevrolet chassis, 454 cu in auto. Comes complete with a 5 KW Onan generator with very few hours, roof a/c and on the dash. It's almost all original - the factory installed shag carpet, drapes, circulating toilet, vacuum ... Everything works. My dad bought it new - actually I drove it home new from the factory in 1973. Only 30,500 original miles. I hate to part with it but I guess the time has come. Lots of extra parts - some sheet metal, a new grill that has never been used,... Photos to follow. Plse post a note if interested.

intereted in price and pictures...thanks. jj

Thx for the help with the pictures Bill. Re the price I'm asking $8500. I can be contacted at (403) xxx-xxxx for additional info.

I really like it! Hard to see what she really looks like but from what we can see it's unique, it's pretty, and it's in incredible shape. Not interested myself, but worth a look for anyone who is.

Click on the pictures Danny - They will open into a full size photo.

thx Danny - it's a nice unit in very good condition - there are a few small dents and scratches that have accumulated over the years but nothing that has ever had to be repaired. The unit was stored inside a heated shop for quite a few years. The original tires had to be replaced (permanent flat spots) and I put on aluminum wheels a few years ago. Other than a tune up (still uses distributor points)and maybe replace the valve cover gaskets sometime - its ready to go.

Barth people, my 26' unit is still for sale. I'll be advertising it locally within the next few weeks so if anyone is interested and would like to see more pictures or have questions please let me know. I would be willing to sell it for $7600.

Please note that this motorhome is sold.

Did you get the $7600 you were asking?

Was the buyer close?

How is the Canadian market and fuel prices up there?

Yes it was sold for what I wanted to a person living locally. I received a # of calls so I think it was reasonably priced. Gas prices are high everywhere - its about $1.26/litre here (I think that's about $4.77/US gal). My view is that the sky is not falling but the days of cheap energy are gone. Fuel will be available for those that are willing to pay and can afford it -unfortunatly this group is shrinking - but I think there are still lots of people that really value and enjoy this lifestyle.
