Nope don't think that one has made it here yet. And Welcome to the Motorhead central of the TJ forum.
Because of prices like that, this one has been condemned to a small junkyard near me. The story is it was a drivable car with minor issues when it entered the shop, but after sitting for about a year waiting on parts from England, mice got inside and destroyed some wiring (high dollar repairs). The owners who had just inherited the car were already strapped for cash and chose to abandon the car. It's been sitting here for about 10 year now. It'd probably make a great parts car for someone, or be a good candidate for a resto-mod.
If you are really into vintage RVs you have to read this thread, it is a treasure trove of vintage RV pics. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f65/vintage-rv-and-camping-pictures-570136.html Pretty sure the pics will show up if you aren't a member but if not I will snip a few of the best and put them here.
Parts for these C-bodies aren't cheap, either. I know personally.
Do you have any more pic of the wagon?Parts for these C-bodies aren't cheap, either. I know personally.
No but I can get some, I'll be back there in about a week (if it's still there). It's not 100% original with a 440 under the hood.
Here's an original Bowlus trailer, you can buy a new one today for around a quarter million.

That one screams @Zorba to me.
One of my favorite old RVs is the Clark Cortez made by the fork lift people. They first used slant sixes then 360's and later went to the GM Toronado powertrain. All models were front wheel drive making a low floor and low profile. All one piece steel construction. The hot water was provided by the engine. Some had the door on the back end. I ran into a young lady at Trader Joe's who was touring in one, a blue one like the 1st pic.
and all 1
OP
I've seen a number of these around and for sale through the years. Used to be one two blocks away from my house, in fact. Seeing a motorhome with rust (steel body) takes some getting used to.
That's true - that thing rocks! Never saw anything like it before.
My late father absolutely DETESTED the Cortez - said it looked like a milk truck. He wasn't wrong, but they've aged well - look better now than they did then.
Sometimes things look better to us later in life...........just like they used to look better toward closing time
I kind of have one like that. Trailer is just a shell and made very poorly. We were going to redo it in aluminum but it became another one of those never completed projects.
