I got a bargin basement price on my '66 Ambassador. After I started tearing into it I see why. I recently came across someone who just came into town from Texas. They have a 31' Sovourien (something like that), anyway he said they are probably going to sell it for $2400.00 After seeing what other people have been asking it's not to bad a price. I'll let everyone know when he puts it up for sell.

As I may have said before here, I paid an even three grand for my 26 Argosy,
in excellent condition--faded paint and middle-aged tires are the only
defect, rebuilt water heater, new 3-way dometic, carefree of colorado
awning, water pump, inverter, carpet, everything gleaming clean, including
the inside of the oven. Granted, it is an argosy, and granted, it's not
quite as vintage, but I think seven is Waaaaaay over the top.
