$5,500 1946 Spartan Manor. Fb does not recognize Spartan as a maker. Super Rare camper that predates Airstream campers. Single axle,24 feet long. Interior is rough. Was restored 20 years ago using oak plywood, and used as a hunting camper. It then sat unused the last 5 years. It leaked before but I sealed the bad roof vents. It is no longer leaking. Wiring appears good, but should be checked. It has a full bath which appears to be original. It has a roof air but don't know if it works. The body is pretty straight over all, no major damage. It is aircraft aluminum, it will polish to a mirrored shine. The front windows are clear. No broken windows. I have both The front tongue and frame are solid, not rusty. Tires are ok to pull it. Could use new ones for regular use. Might need some subfloor work but overall its solid. I bought $1200 worth of new birch plywood to restore the interior. It comes with the trailer This Spartan sells for up to 150k restored. Check

Someone should buy this. I'm tempted, but I really don't need any more projects!

I have mixed feelings. Goofy as hell, but that guy takes the coming Apocalypse seriously with his mobile bomb shelter.

Reminds me of the armored/armed land train in Deathlands.

Dang I missed it the first time it was posted I guess. I did see it quite a while ago on facespace and then it re-surfaced again recently in my marketplace. Drivetrain is pretty sweet. The camper shell is like you said goofy as all hell, but a guy could cut that apart and use it for other projects quite easily. Looks like that might be a safe door on the back? I need one of those for a walk in safe someday... I'm only 75 or so miles away from it, but it might be a pain in the ass to get home... Maybe it'll make the big dumb loads page if I decide to go look at it. :laughing:
 
:lmao: I missed the safe door!

$5K doesn't seem terrible for the drivetrain, even if you scrapped the ironsides.

Or just build it out. Not like it's gonna get good mileage with a few tons less weight.

Friends father had one of those to cut the grass on the hill in front of the house.
Too steep for the tractor.
Tied a rope on it and pulled it up and down .

Worked great.

guy at the end of the road had one of them think it was like "hov-r-mow" or something like that
said it didn't work too good because it'd blow the grass over rather than sucking it up into the blades

For 5k, it's certainly worth it just for the driveline.

Landmaster - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
The Landmaster is a unique 12-wheeled amphibious articulated vehicle constructed by Dean Jeffries at Jeffries Automotive in Universal City, California, for the 1977 science fiction film Damnation Alley. Despite the appearance of two Landmasters in the film (achieved with process photography and models), only one was built, at a cost of $350,000 in 1976.[1]
...
Popular Science described the Landmaster:
Three independent drive sources running from a gasoline power plant. Uses semi truck parts in the drive train. Can operate with the front or rear wheel trinary out of commission. Side and top hatches on the main unit and rear and top on the after section. Full running lights and brake lights for urban street use. External video camera is mounted on the forward pylon located just behind the front top hatch. Could also house the antenna. All pylons are hardened and armored. Can operate in water and will remain sealed when fully submerged. Can float while half full of water.[5]

While the film is fiction, the Landmaster vehicle is real. In the story, the Landmaster was designed to use as many standard truck parts as possible, so that any junkyard would have whatever was needed for repairs. The real Landmaster is powered by a 390-cubic-inch (6.4 L) Ford industrial engine, and uses the rear-ends of two commercial trucks and an Allison automatic truck transmission. It features a fully functional, custom-built "tri-star" wheel arrangement, which could actually help it crawl over boulders. All 12 wheels are driven, but only 8 are normally in contact with the road surface at any one time.[6]

The vehicle was steered not by turning the front wheels, but by bending the middle section with hydraulic rams to effect a turn, similar to large construction equipment. The Landmaster's bodywork was made with 3⁄8-inch (1 cm) steel plating, which helped it tip the scales at over 10 tons. The design's strength allowed it to survive a 25-foot (7.6 m) jump during testing with no damage.
