It is a 1971 with a 413 Mopar chassis & drivetrain.

It looks like a space shuttle front end with those trapezoid windows. Plus a big block Mopar 413. Plus it only has 1 door.

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

Windows- they're what make a van worth owning! | | | Re: Dodge Rectrans Discoverer ? | Joined: May 2016 Posts: 112 member | OP member Joined: May 2016 Posts: 112 | 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 | | | Re: Dodge Rectrans Discoverer ? | Joined: May 2016 Posts: 112 member | OP member Joined: May 2016 Posts: 112 | 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.

An interesting project. | | |
