Craigslist - '67 Avion

That could be a pretty cool resto, both camper and truck. 76,000 original miles!

I always liked avocado green.

I think it's a little pricey, the truck could use a restoration and the camper is only worth so much.
I mean, it's super cool, but it's not a 4WD or a 1/2 ton shortbed, those are the most desirable ones.

Too much money. You can pick up an Avion TC for 1000 bucks if you look.

Too much. Typical CL pie in the sky pricing. If I was 20 years younger I'd do an old resto. I long for another Serro Scotty. Had one when I was in my 20's. Neat little TT.

Without knowing the condition of the truck or Avion , guessing it's value is foolish . They could be worth double or half the asking price . A 1000 buck Avion would more than likely have to be completely rebuilt .

The truck is quite rusty - you can see the driver's door skin peel away at the bottom, and the tailgate in the background doesn't look any more promising. And that is just from one single picture. Quite a restauration job there alone.
And the camper is 50 years old.
At the price asked, I would expect some redeeming information in the ad. A lot, actually...

Avion restorations vary from around $10K to $25K in my experience. And that figure is largely determined by the underlying condition of the coach. A good coach will run between $3500 and $9000. With the transparency of the internet prices are set nationally. Seldom nowadays do you find some clueless fellow selling his parents Avion for $1000. At least not if it's a candidate for restoration. So, unless you actually inspect this offer it's hard to put a number on it. And I doubt that many people buy sight unseen, but admit that someone might. In which case caveat emptor.

Agreed. A good candidate for a resto is very important. You can pick up a crappy Avion for a 1000. A good one, ready for resto, is more. But the truck looks like garbage too.

When I did my Amerigo resto, i could have picked up a few "for free to 500". I chose one that was in a little better shape for $1200. Put in around $10,000. I would think that if this poster had a renovated inside, he would have posted that, cause he isn't going to have much luck selling the combo at that price.
