Nicely restored rig but is a $10K trailer with a $15K paint job. It's definitely not worth the asking price, IMO.
No different than the ridiculous prices commanded by vintage cars really, it's value is what the market says it's worth. A quick Google shows that the price is on the high side, but definitely in the ballpark.
Here is another vintage beauty, a completely restored 1955 Spartan Manor, with an asking price of $95,000.
LOL you must be a few years older than me...
A old friend I use to ride Harley's with use to say that a lot!
Only it was A fool and his money soon part !

Thanks for the memories :)- One of these won best of show at the TCT rally in Michigan two years ago. It was stunning. . Much better styling than the boxes they are making today. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and people are paying plenty for something that has quality restoration work.
- The ones sold today will never be "restored" there will be nothing left to restore. They are made of pape rmache.

Let's be honest here, the person wants $39,000 for it. I'm guessing they're trying to recover some of the expense for restoring it. I'm sure it was "junk" like any other RV prior to the restoration and will be junk once again if left unmaintained.
Plenty of folks pay the trailer restoration outfits MEGA bucks to restore old trailers - *usually* to exact reproductions of the original.
It's kinda like having a '32 Ford 3-window built for you.
Lots of ways to have it done - all it takes is LOTS of bucks!
Or - if you have the time and talent - you can do lots (or all) of the work yourself.......still requires $$$.
BTW - there's a specialty cigar sales outfit that has a totally (modern interior) restored antique TT - that's avail for parties, etc.
Interior is a rolling humidor and smoking room - with wide screen TVs etc.
Sooooo even though it might not be your cup of tea, there are both private and commercial buyers who are willing to plunk down the bucks to have one built - or buy the finished item.

My post was so many thought this unit was high quality unlike todays units. NO it wasn't, it required 39,000 dollars worth of repairs to bring it back to like new condition.
Have no idea what the hell you're talking about.drsteve wrote:
