HUGE PRICE CUT! MAKE AN OFFER!
Meet “Dolly”, the absolutely stunning Spartan Trailer that will make the perfect guest house…. instantly! This 1957 Spartan Imperial Manor has all the charms of the vintage era, but with the upgrades to make a perfect modern retreat.
A quick history of these incredible rare and treasured trailers….
Spartan trailers were designed and built by Paul Getty, (as in the Famous Getty Family, founders of the Getty Museum). They were originally designed and built as a solution to the housing crisis in California post World War II. And at the time, were sold for significantly more than Airstreams ever were, due to it’s superior build and materials.
This particular Spartan has it’s own wonderful history, as it was previously owned by Dolly Parton’s lead banjo player. And traveled cross country on tour with her in the 1980’s.
Spartan trailers are incredibly well built, and with the ample headspace, they could be considered preferable to an airstream for living in. This trailer was never meant to be a weekend warrior, as it never was designed with holding tanks. But more the reason for it to be parked in a yard or property, and lived in immediately! And with the cost of building so expensive today, you can bypass that and easily allow friends/family to stay, Airbnb as an awesome income, or live in it yourself!
This particular Spartan still maintains the beautiful retro aluminum exterior, with it’s warm glowing Birchwood interior paneling. It still has its stylish retro pink bathroom sink and bathtub, as well as the original Frigidaire Refrigerator with its pink interior and original egg and butter holders. The back bedroom has the original built in storage, with plenty of closet space, as well as a built in side table/desk.
Some of the modern upgrades that compliment the retro beauty are waterproof, scratch resistant floors, white subway tile, new faucet & sink, new formica countertops, custom wallpaper, and a faux electric fireplace that heats the unit in minutes!
The exterior is incredibly condition with a few minor dings. It can either be polished to a mirror reflection or you can keep the smooth, patina finish. And with two doors, one the living space, and the other to the bedroom, it has a substantial feel and is so much more than a trailer.

Send and receive payment safely.

Consider these tips in order to send or receive payment safely.

If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is! Maintain a healthy skepticism.
Verify the Buyer or Seller’s identity. Do addresses and names match up in public records or directories? Even better is to meet the seller in person in a safe place.
Be cautious of an individual posing as an “agent” representing a buyer or seller, or when dealing with someone outside your country.
Do not make a purchase only from photos. A photo does not verify the existence of an item. See the item in person.
If using an escrow service for payment of the transaction, verify that it is a reliable service. Never go to an escrow service site via a link in an email. Always go directly to the site, by typing in the URL. Do not use an escrow service recommended by the seller.
Fraud deals may involve shipping, wire transfers, overpayment or cashiers checks. Unusual requests involving the transaction may be a signal of a potential scam.
Do not wire money for any transaction whether you are a buyer or seller without first verifying the identity of the person you are dealing with.
Do not wire money for any transaction that initially began with an overpayment or to pay a shipper or pick up agent.
If presented with an “invoice” from PayPal or other payment service, verify it is genuine.
Use your best judgment in all transactions.
Report suspected fraudulent activity to [email protected]

Recommendations For Buyers

Know the vehicle’s market value

Be very suspicious of any vehicle priced significantly below market value. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Confirm contact information

Verify the seller’s physical address and phone number BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. Zip codes, area codes and addresses should match up.

Use email wisely

Do not send personal or financial information (such as your social security number, credit card number or checking account number) to a seller via email. Email communications are not secure.

Do not use money transfer services, such as Western Union to pay for online purchases

Even Western Union recommends against using their service or similar services to pay for online purchases. Be cautious about any seller who will only accept a money transfer.

If using an escrow service for payment, make sure it is a reputable, valid escrow service

Some buyers, purchasing outside their local area, may consider using an escrow service. If so, make sure it is a legitimate service. Go directly to the website of the escrow service. Do NOT go to an escrow service through a link in the seller’s e-mail or use a service based on a referral from the seller. Check the web address to make sure you are at the valid website.

Get a detailed receipt

Ask the seller for a receipt that states whether the Airstream is being sold with a warranty or “as is.”

Get title to the vehicle

Make sure you know what’s required in your state to transfer title to the vehicle you’re buying.

Recommendations For Buyers

Confirm contact information

Be wary of buyers willing to purchase your item sight-unseen, especially buyers located overseas. Always verify the buyer’s street address and valid phone number.

Verify that a certified check is genuine

Verify authenticity with the issuing bank prior to depositing a certified check. Make sure the account contains sufficient funds and the issuing bank guarantees payment on the check. Once deposited in your account, it may take a week or more for the check to clear. Acceptance by your bank does not guarantee the check is valid and funds are available. A cashier’s check can take 30 days or more to clear.

Secure payment first

Do not transfer the title until you have payment in hand at the agreed upon price (and you have verified that the payment is valid.

Beware of overpayment or other complicated payment schemes

Do not agree to any plan where the buyer asks to send a check for more than the sale price and requests that the seller refund the difference. Be suspicious of any buyer who proposes making payment through a friend or agent of the buyer.
