Here is one of the most beautiful and original 1961 Airstream Bambi Trailers you'll ever find! This trailer has been in Colorado -a dry climate state - since new. This means there is little to no damage due to moisture! This Bambi is in just amazing condition and is one of the finest original, well cared for trailers you'll ever find!

There's no such thing as a cheap and easy restore - but if there were, this would be it! There's not a lot wrong with the trailer, and a whole lot that is right. Did I say that its nearly all original? I've run the polisher over this once, and with a little more elbow grease, I fully believe you'll get that incredible mirror shine!

This Bambi is ready to roll now - is smoke free - and looks awesome going down the road! A real head turner...
 


THE SPECIFICATIONS:

  • RARE 1961 Airstream Bambi

    (According to Airstream forums, that makes this the 23rd Bambi built in California!!!)

  • 95-98% Original

  • Floor is VERY solid - even by the door

  • Interior has not been repainted - original zolatone is in generally good shape with a couple of exceptions that are mostly hidden (see pics)

  • Unique and lovely GOLD trim throughout!

  • Pink accents throughout (all appear original and in great shape)

  • Skin is 90-95% in great shape

  • Warranty Certificate (factory facsimile) still in closet and excellent

  • RARE original table (gold trim / pink top) included and in great shape

  • EVERYTHING is there (drawers / cabinets / accordion doors / appliances)

  • All original pink accessories (toothbrush holder/soap dish/toilet paper holder, etc)

  • Original cushion fabric (needs cleaning and new foam) with no rips on top

  • Original lighting (electrical works - 120 & 12)

  • Propane system works

  • All wood is light in color and looks great overall

  • Floor tiles have been replaced in front with original tiles still in rear

  • New tires / recently repacked bearings / tows GREAT!

  • COPY of owners manual (not original) on paper and CD

  • Amazing camo drapery included at no extra charge :-)


ITEMS NEEDING ATTENTION:

  • Windows need new seals all around
    (silicon has been added to keep moisture out)

  • Fridge needs propane burner - not sure if it runs on electric

  • You could go with new cushions, or maybe have the existing ones professionally cleaned and new foam installed (old foam is a bit brittle)

  • More polishing for that mirror-like shine w/ minimal pitting

  • Waste system will need attention, but I'm not sure how much. I do know it hasn't been used for a long time and it looks like some of it has been replaced with PVC (some that is cracked/broken underneath)

  • Looks like a blowout tore some aluminum street-side by wheel well (see photo gallery). You could leave as is, or creatively fix it!

  • LP tank valves (or tanks) will need to be changed out

  • There is some minor hail damage on the very top of the roof
    (not on the sides)

  • Trailer is basically very clean and you could stock it and take it out the very weekend you get it!
