Anyone have information on these? A good buddy of mine is looking for / at one. It is a 1971 with a 413 Mopar chassis & drivetrain. Regards, CCCCCCC

Larry Shinoda was the designer in Brighton Michigan. They do have a tradesman front end on an M-300 chassis. Regards, CCCCCCC

Lukester, Thanks for the picture. It looks like a space shuttle front end with those trapezoid windows. Plus a big block Mopar 413. Plus it only has 1 door. Regards, CCCCCCC

Those are odd looking machines.

More than the shuttle, they always reminded me of the "Eagle" space ships form the TV show Space 1999.

To my knowledge (limited), no other motorhome ever came with hood pins on a fiberglass hood / shell. He drove it earlier this week and will probably pull the trigger tomorrow. regards, CCCCCCC

Well, We will go pick it up this weekend as long as it will fit on my open trailer. He has asked me to store it for him for the Winter and go through the drivetrain and mechanicals. Need to get it indoors before the snow starts falling. I will post pictures later next week. Regards, CCCCCCC in SW Michigan.
