Description
The “Painted Airstream” this Argosy 28' is original, operational, retro camper, ready to step into a vintage retreat and go camping, or easily update & restore.
Extremely rare, desirable Airstream brand, well made, with a newer engine, updated components with original 70's interior in full working condition!
Manufactured by Airstream, Argosy shares rounded roof design & curved roof windows. Built on Chevrolet P30 chassis, powered by Chevy 454ci V8, which was replaced with new engine and has 30,000 miles. Total motorhome miles is 147,000.
Purchased from original owner 37 years ago. Used full time for trips from Florida to California, and around USA. Runs great & loves to camp!
The exterior paint is original and shows its age. The fold-out awning was replaced with original striped look. Spare tire is fitted to rear with functional tow hitch, and original wheels were mounted with 6 new tires 3 years ago, with less than 5k miles put on the motorhome since. Interior is largely original including the fabrics, interior furnishings, retracting tambour cabinet doors, and electronic control panel. Seating surfaces are stain free, well-kept, and interior surfaces show normal wear for their age. Norcold 3-way (120v/12v/LPG) refrigerator has been replaced, and all systems are functional. Batteries were replaced less than 1 year ago.
The Airstream Argosy has a painted exterior, and underneath the paint Argosy has aluminum outer skin like Airstream with steel plate. Strip, or re-paint, or show off for your retro retreat!
