^ American Clippers are very, very nice rigs - high-quality. And they mostly came with 440s, too.

Yep- a few 360's in the early 70's, a few Chev 400's in the later 70's and the rest were 440's. Shells are solid and a pleasure to work on/ restore/mod. They are happiest in the 55 mph territory, so those in the 'life is a journey to be savored' camp are most rewarded by these old beauties. Not too many are seen east of the divide, but one 78 21' does grace my property. |

Mark-- There's a Clipper about 35 miles from me. It needs work, exterior is what you'd expect from Ohio winters, but appears all there. Y/N? Leeann-- Help me! That damn Honda. The generator, not the car. New module and still it's not making electricity. Got a clue for me? |

Trish, No for now but I don't know what will happen- I contacted a person who was listing a 1966 Travco 28' at the discussion board. Got pic's back, it's a real peach- will need some work but I LIKE it!! Shreveport isn't that much of a stretch from Tulsa too... I'll keep you posted. Thanks- you're awesome! your corpulent small friend, Mark |

Thanks- you're awesome! your corpulent small friend, Mark Thankee, love. But, and this from experience, find out about the wheels! You are going to need 1-pc wheels. 17.5 will fit, 19.5 will not. No, you can't add adapters or i would have. And the window seals are a bugger to find. Ditto for the windshields, they are $1000. Each. |
