A year ago I posted some pictures of what appears to be an early Barth (it has the bustle) and I could not get into it or anything else. The owner has died and now the executor wants to get rid of this. I can only say it appears to be intact, but has been sitting for many, many years. It is located in Houston Texas and may be useful for a restoration or parts. They want an "offer" and will talk to anyone with an interest.
Call (713) 991-2313 and ask for Robert Hilliard.
If no interest this will go to scrap.
I saw the engine (454 I think) and all the parts are there, including 20 year old tires.

Here you go Tom. Here's the thread about this Barth from last year.

Unfortunately you deleted all of the images for this coach so none remains. Do you have these images anywhere?

Back then you tried to get into the coach but they lost the key and you were unable to get the data tag info. Is this still the case now?

We were hoping for more info and I think you were getting frustrated with their lack of responses to your inquiry.

You stated then that the last time it was registered was back in 1993. It would be nice to get these pictures back up and get one of the data tag. If you want to send me these images I'll get them up so hopefully someone can save it from the junkyard.

The images, from the digital camera, were numbered DSCN4477, DSCN4478, DSCN4479, DSCN4480, DSCN4481 & DSCN4482 perhaps you still have this on a memory card?

But, based on what I remember, it might be a tall order. Sad that another year has passed and nothing has happened.

Yep, another year. The family patriarch bought this new and used it very little. I was told he took his wife on one trip, she hated it so it became yard art. I tried to get him to sell or donate but the family could not agree. With his passing there was a time when the family tried to run the business and now have given up and hired professional management. Robert and Nancy have finally gotten control and now the Barth has to go. The family have no experience or interest in the coach (or the car collection of hearses) and think they should get something for it. I can't find the pictures and have not gotten any more. As a parts unit it should have value - as a project, you better be prepared for a total redo.
