good luck how many where built

No idea. Not very many, though. Since the first time I saw this one (and let it get away) back in '06, I've only found pix of 2 others online. Champion made a lot more class a style rvs.

Brought this beast home last year. Lots of structural wood rot. Will be doing a complete rebuild. Hope to start next summer. 318/727 https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/284433167_10228426318467638_8292399933881435386_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=BbJ__h06gTkAX9grfTD...

My latest folly. Lots of rot in the wood, but since it's so unique, I plan to fix it. Anyone ever seen another one? I can't find much info about old Champion motorhomes on the web. https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/120100135_10224349945800869_4510936769530702389_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_s...

Pictures please!
I'm not sure there is any way to verify the production numbers, but it sounds like you have one of the best surviving Dudes out there.

'10 Dodge Caravan
'14 Toyota Camry
'88 Ford F250 POS; Gonna lose this one as soon as my Power Wagon is done.
'57 Miller Meteor hearse/ambulance
'48 Plymouth 2dr sedan
'77 T-bird (actually my daughters car, but it's in my driveway)

$44,900?? http://classiccars.com/listings/view/51 ... ouri-63132

The valve seat information is encouraging.

That is good to know. I've read elsewhere Mopar didn't switch till 73 or 74....

I think all the pre-Magnum 360s were about the same. Police models, Volare Super Coupe (& Lil Red Express trucks?) had forged crank w/ windage tray. Pre-74 still had soft exhaust valve seats. Those are the only things I can think of.....

Nice! I'm also tired of wrenching on the ground, outside. I've got plans for the building I want, but It's going to have to wait until I retire.... :(

might be a little much though.

Nothing a set of air bags won't fix :)

I agree with slick, those 17's look awesome.

Glad they caught him. My ; It's a good thing guys like oklamopar aren't in charge of the criminal justice system. As flawed as it is, it's better than anarchy.

I apologize for my behavior. I wish no disrespect for Mr. Winkler.

a quick photo-chop...

Anyone else's Certicard labels printed on Pentastar label tape? They are a little hard to see in the pic. You can see one between the "V" and "I" in Virgil.

I've got mine.

They exported a few as DeSotos, also...

It is a D7. My grandpa sold it locally, and it's still in use.
