Motorhome 1972 with 440 for only $200 ***Not Mine

[sloinker]

Not mine, Facebook Marketplace. If someone has some acreage to hide a motorhome and a way to get it home it may be a bargain for the motor itself.

Man that's cool wish it was near by

A lot of times they are free.

Looks “mean” lol.

No scrappers want to take the un-sell able shell and interior and don't want to pay labor to strip them off just to get the steel frame and axles...and the 440.

True that......

I think I just saw this exact thing on Roadkill. Stole the 440 and was stuck with the shell. Suckered some guy into taking it so they did not have to cut it up into a roll-off.

I just bought a 1973 Winnebago brave, LOL.($100, bucks steel crank 440)
So at first I got excited, when I saw MiradaMegaCab's post with photo, and that he was in NY.
Then I saw gutted inside, and its in SD, LOL!!!

I would 2bl check that its a 440 and NOT a 413.
I see it has the 'Motorhome" heads/waterpump, and the single snorkel air cleaner, holley carb, and the spark plug wire holder on driver side valve cover.
I am not a Winnebago expert, but AFAIK 440's had the thermoquad and duel snorkel air cleaner.

YY1 is correct, not a ton of "SCRAP" weight, as they are fiberglass, foam,fake wood panels, and lot of plastic.
But they do have Dana 60 or 70 rears.

I was thinking the same thing! They were driving down the road and the door was off or flying open. If I recall, they put that motor in the General Mayhem originally..

They just aired that episode again tonight. They paid a grand for it, rented a roll off dumpster, had to pay a guy to finish cutting it up to get rid of it. Not a profitable venture.

Remove engine, accidentally leave fuel line exposed, start cutting with torch.

Scrap steel amongst ashes!

Winnebago is my customer. In the visitor center they have one and it has the same shifter as my 65 Satellite

in fact,anyone in the ny area that has one or knows where theres a Good 400 van or 440 camper motor trans,
id be interested for my ramcharger project.

By "scrapper" I actually meant scrap yard.

 

[Bad B-rad]

That ford R/V looks really unique!!!
Was that a custom home made deal, or manufactured by an R/V company? Very strange looking!!!

 

[YY1]

I've seen one of those using a 1965 Coronet.

 

[YY1]

...and it's old enough that the virgin looking front sheet metal might be worth more than scrap.

 

[1967coronet]

When we did ours we used a tractor with a loader bucket and a old single axle dump truck.
Had that winne down to the shag carpet in about 1/2 hr.
Loaded the truck, went to the landfill and paid construction waste fee.
