The 16 foot Pacer was only built in 1960. It is the immediate predecessor to the Bambi, which was modeled off of it. With a total length of only 16 feet, this Airstream would be great for camping in national parks as it is below the length requirements. Due to its very light weight of around 1,800 pounds, practically any vehicle with a towing package can pull it comfortably. You might even be able to tow it with a bike. For example, I had no trouble lifting the tongue by hand and pulling it around our lot.This Particular 16 footer spent its entire life sitting on a lake. It was used as a lake cabin most of its life, until recent years when it was used more as a shed, and an occasional resting spot for a guest. Overall, the shell of this camper is in excellent condition very few minor dents present on the left rear end cap, visible in pictures but not hugely noticeable. I am extremely impressed with the aluminum on this beauty and have not found another of this age with better skin. It will make for an awesome restoration project!The previous owner started to remove the interior, but remarkably, much of the 63 year old original tile is still present. But probably the most impressive thing about this camper is that the original subfloor is still completely intact with no rotted areas. I have not found another from this era with a completely intact subfloor. In the rear where the toilet once was, the hole in the floor is plugged with a cloth. The original water tank is also present up front. The interior could use a good cleaning!Additionally, the original windows are tightly sealed, and all of the original seals are still intact. The original bed frame is present, with drawers underneath, and several upper cabinets remain. The hard work of gutting the trailer is already done and it is ready to be finished to your specifications. The door and door handle works perfectly, but will need a new lock cylinder in order to lock the Pacer.It will need new tires to get it home if towed. We can assist with replacing the tires for $400.I am in love with this Pacer, and I truly wish we could keep it, restore it, and put it on display in our museum, but we are forced to sell it due to unexpected expenses. Our loss is your gain!We do also have this trailer listed for sale locally and we reserve the right to end the auction early in the event that it sells. Feel free to call Nathan at (260)
