Wow. A truly unusual beast. Can't say I have ever seen anything like it! confusion

It looks pretty trashed inside and out. A huge project just to clean out! Window AC, etc. Not much left of the driveline I'd bet.

I'd be surprised if they get $5,500 for that.

Wow!! A very unique machine, would like to see it up close and personal, if I could stand the smell!! If they even get someone to come get it for free, they probably will come out ahead!

The front picture makes it look like it is wearing diving goggles!!


I wonder if this is a modified version of:

Dodge Travco

There’s just something nostalgic about vintage RVs with their overabundance of chrome, two-tone paint and quirky design features that are often lost in newer RVs today. Dodge gave buyers the choice of two layouts for the 26.5ft length on offer: one option was to have a larger wardrobe in place of a seat that turned into a single bed, with a longer seat at the back that transformed into a double bed, and the next option was a separate bedroom at the rear with a double bed.

With the Travco weighing in at just over six tonnes, the 200bhp 5.2-liter V8 was enough to shove it to a reasonably impressive 70mph top speed.
