I bought the beast in '99 drove it back from CA, used it to pull my little car to the track until 2002. Then it was used for camping and my daughter take her friends to outdoor concerts around the south. The motor was rebuilt in 2000, maintenance/repairs along the way. I have all the receipts and more pics. You could get in and go anywhere. $3000.

Thanks Kevin for helping me try to post pics from Bill's Photobucket 2219. So I'll add more details about my Barth.
I have the original Barth 3 ring binder with details about what was included. The engine is a 454 Chev that I had a lot of work done to: new radiator, water pump,electric fuel pump, hoses, belts, heat shield, headers, high pressure oil pump, valve job, pistons/rings, main, rod and cam bearings, starter, rebuild carb. I replaced the deep cycle batteries, alignment, gas refrigerator,added a microwave, trailer hitch and a CD player. In 2016 I had the couches recovered, replaced the 2 front tires (the rear tires, brake pads and shoes are good) and changed the oil and filter. It has 90k miles on it. The negatives are damage from a small tree falling on the rear (which I think could be repaired), awnings need replacing and the generator doesn't start.

If anyone is up for a Barth project, this would be a nice one. I was informed in a private massage by another member that John, Sparkman on here has lowered his price. Here is the contact information for this Barth.

No, but John had talked to me and I wanted others to know it was available at a reduced price. At 80, it's too much of a project. I would think the big block alone is worth some money, being recently rebuilt.
What a shame, that's two I have seen that have life left in them and no one to provide the oxygen!!! I wonder where the younger folks are that are willing to put into these older beauties, some sweat equity. Life today is just to busy for them I guess.
