A RARE GEM! Painstakingly restored to original design and ready to roll where life takes you! This beauty has had all the hard (and expensive) work done to it, all you need to do is hitch it up!

This trailer was restored then never used due to health issues. Brand new everything in a vintage package – this is as ‘off the lot’ as you can get and still have a piece of Americana history. Originally listed in May, we pulled it off the site to have it polished, sealed and new whitewall tires installed. It is being relisted on 9/24/21.

Super light, 16’ length with an original weight of 1800lbs, it can be towed by almost any vehicle. This trailer is one of the rarer “street side” style models, meaning it was produced in California (one of ~866 manufactured in Ohio and California between 1961 and 1963). It has style and function as only an Airstream can provide – a piece of history with modern convenience for wherever your travels take you! These models are also used as guest accommodations, Airbnb income and home office – the possibilities are endless!

The interior is versatile for functionality and I’ve shown a few of the configurations in the pictures for reference. The couch pulls out to create a bed that can be either 36″ or 52″ wide by 76″ long. There is also shorter couch which could sleep a smaller person or child. For dining, there are two options – a larger table (redone) that is 48″ x 22″ (stored in the wardrobe cabinet) or smaller folding tray tables (shown in pictures). There is a ton of storage with high-quality hinges to keep cabinets open (overhead) and closed (for traveling) when desired. Drawers are designed with the notch to prevent opening during travel, you just lift then pull to access the interior. There are plenty of outlets including one in the overhead cabinet.

Full restoration includes fresh polish, new interior (clear-stain solid wood cabinets), new wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems, new tires, addition of stabilizers, and ‘shell off’ repair and rustproofing of the frame (to list of few of the bigger items). Sale also includes a valet system for easy maneuverability, new awning and extra fabric used on cushions.
Listed below are additional specifics of the restoration but there is a lot more information I’d be happy to discuss with interested parties. In addition to interior and exterior photos, I’ve included a couple pictures of the restoration process showing the extent of that process as well. There are additional photos available upon request or if you have something specific you’d like a photo of, just let me know : )

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.
