Well, It looks as though the Sisdysix has a new owner. We are in the process of working out the details, but she will probably be going on a European vacation. Yes, I have actually shown myself as a hypocrite. I had railed against the number of Airstreams being shipped over to Europe. I felt that it was a form of heritage lost and was some what upset by the prospect. I guess I have had a change of heart. I was contacted by a company that imports and restores them for the European market. I turns out they had a client looking specifically for a 1966 Overlander. It turns out that mine being so original fit the bill just perfect. My main goal with this trailer was to put her back into circulation. After 28 of sitting in a yard slowly rotting away, the prospects of her hitting the road again in the near future thrills me. The proceeds from this transaction will give me the resources to continue my own project on Anna. I think in the long run, everyone has benefited from this transaction. I hope that in the future I can see another trailer get back on the road again. If anyone knows of any, let me know.

Congratulations! Any day that you rescue a neglected Vintage Airstream and put it back into circulation is a GREAT day.

Hi! We're traveling through Austin, TX right now and swear that TX is where all the Airstreams are hidden. One RV park had 9! We've seen a few old beauties around, one gutted, no for sale signs but you never know.
