For sale: Truly a one of a kind Airstream Argosy motorhome!
This gem of a motorhome has been completely overhauled with lots of love and attention to detail and is ready for its maiden voyage.
Please see the listing for specs and the asking price as well as a recent appraisal.
The motorhome is located at the Minnesota Airstream Park in Clear Lake, MN.
Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or to schedule a viewing either in person or via Zoom.
There is a video tour of this Airstream at All Campers Facebook page. It was released on Jan 11, 2021. If you like send me a private message, and I'll send a link to the video to you. AirstreamClassifieds won't allow me to post it here.
There are some things that Andrew didn't cover in the video. One of which is the added sound suppression in the front cab.
Prior to getting it to All Campers, we had the carburetor replaced, the engine tuned, new tires, the transmission flushed, and parts of the gas line replaced.
I ve added some scans of the original owner's manual. Please do let us know if you have any questions.
We've recently dropped the price, hoping to sell the unit before the end of the season.
Thank you, Dan

Definitely a one of a kind as its not a 1975, not an Argosy and not a 26ft....
I need to write more about this. Rick, I just uploaded some more pictures. Dan
Martin, it’s a 1975 Airstream Argosy 26ft. When we found it in a field, it took me the afternoon to figure out what the little beast was. Given was I newbie to Airstreams, I was proud of myself. Now that I posted some new pics, look at an Airstream 250 and an Argosy 26ft and figure out what the owner did years ago. We had the same colors repainted, gutted, and had it rebuilt. Please look again and respond. I’d feel better if you acknowledged this is a one of kind.

Please look again and respond. I’d feel better if you acknowledged this is a one of kind.1975 Argosy has a plastic grille, and the cut out in the fenders is a different size to the later alloy grille - they cannot be interchanged. The Argosy also does not have an alloy roof section over the cab. It appears the end cap is Argosy and the dash is from a 1975. Its a real 'bitsa' and the only thing that can prove one way or another is by the VIN number. All Argosy have the VIN stamped on the radiator support behind the front access panel, please share if you want to prove its a 1975 Argosy.
Martin, thanks for the quick response. The way I figured it out was the arrangement of windows, and I then went back and measured it with the friend that showed it to us. Sure enough, it was 26ft. You're correct, much was changed. Here's the VIN. VIN: CPL375V304838 Chevrolet Forward Control V-8 454 Cu In Series 3 = 1 Ton 7 Body Style, Forward Control Recreation Vehicle Chassis 5 Model Year 1975 V Assembly Plant GM Truck 304838 Sequential Number

This is the GMC VIN for the chassis not the Airstream issued VIN for the coach. The Airstream VIN will tell you what Airstream built onto that chassis.
Martin, do you know where I would find that VIN? I found the VIN I shared inside the cabinets before we gutted everything, and I never saw any other VIN besides that one.

If you open the front access panel (front hood) you will see the top of the radiator. either side of the radiator are steel uprights, and there will be a plate screwed to one of those.
This is from the 1975 owners manual, you can see the Airstream VIN plate on the right. In this case it is M26T5V5069. This means m(otorhome), 26(ft), twin bed, (197)5, (made in) Versailles and 5069 is the incremental number for that year.

All Argosy have these plates. Argosy will also have a GMC VIN plate mounted on the bulkhead slightly behind the Airstream VIN.
I apologize for the delay. It's in storage, and I hope to soon have one of the owners of the storage facility take a pic of the VIN. I passed along your instructions. Thank you. Dan
If all goes well, the owner of the storage facility will be providing me with the VIN this week. I just reminded myself that All Campers, the company that did the restoration, created a video when they were about finished. If you visit All Campers on Facebook, the video was posted on Jan 11, 2021. I'll post the VIN as soon as I receive it. We hope to be moving the 1975 Airstream Argosy to the Minnesota Airstream Park for this season to sell. Thank you
If you're not able to find the video, I can send a link in a DM. Thanks
We were not able to find a second VIN. We even had a person that has worked on older Airstream take a look, and he couldn't find a 2nd VIN. Instead, we shared a detailed appraisal. Please let me know if there are any questions.
Would like to see more pictures of the inside? Thanks
