Hey Barth Fans-

I am going tonight to look closer at an 1974, 18'. Powered by a 454 BBC, and TH400.

Any ideas of towing capacity, and how good / bad would you suppose gas mileage may be ( on average )

Obviously, there is no price for cool or wow factor!

Thanks for your input!

as it appears, the fella selling this little gem, is a 20A, not an 18'. Took it for a spin, and now I will be moving forward with purchase asasp!

Ted , Gas mileage will be about 8 to 10 mpg . Towing capacity should be listed on the data tag. The data tag in my barth is located on the side of cabinet behind the drivers seat. Hope this helps. Bob

I took a pic of the tag. It lists GVWR as 12,500. Front GAWR at 5000, Rear GAWR 7500.

The fella that is current title holder has a huge binder of additional info too. That may contain what I need to know. Looking to get this deal done in the next day or two at most.
