Yep. It has a red interior and the guy wanted a fortune for it before.

He was asking a Pristine price for a total rebuild, still is. And the guy was real arrogant about it. (he still is as per his add)

In fact the guy flipped off so many people on his thread here, I think it was pulled.

He hasn't done his homework real well stating only 5-6 left in existence. I know of 4 on the east coast, and there's a lot more than that on the west coast. And a lot we don't even know about.

Its a $500-$800 trailer at best.

Happy Trails

weird looking fenders...

I think if I would ever build a 3rd one, I'd put the tires under the body.... lower drag.

Arne,
It would only be lower drag if the body was the same width. a 4' wide with exterior wheels will have less drag than a 5' wide with internal wheels due to a larger frontal area. That being said, if either fit behind your tow vehicle it isn't much of an issue.
