I wonder if that is the one my dad worked on in the 60s. he used to work for manpower on his days off and I remember him talking about drilling holes in a frame to mate a caddy and trailer together.

The camper part definitely looked more late 60s style to me. NM is a small world, it just might be the same car!

For what it is worth, that "Z" California Black Plate dates registration to late 1968 to early 1970.

Should be an Avion and not an Airstream. I'd roll in it!

It looks a roach!!! But I like it!

[Ugly Truck Nut]

This one looks cool too.

It looks like a bloated catapillar! However, the work looks good-not a shade tree bootyfab.

I wouldn't want to be behind it going up a hill if it still has the L226.

While that L-head motor was a powerhouse in its own right back in the day you are right indeed! Prolly a V8, like the Vigilante in one that someone here on the forum has as a project.

Scary thought is that I have seen some engine weight specs and that 226 comes up with a surprisingly high figure for its displacement and HP. Probably a much better stationary power source than a mobile one...
