Got a request from someone via the Registry that he's parting out a '73. If interested, check the Swap Meet section.

1973 Sequoia 23'. It was sort of trashed inside, but before he got it, it might have been restorable. Not anymore. Whoever got the generator, the compartment looks like they tied a chain to it and yanked it out. The front part around the grill was cracked, but after I helped him remove the heater/AC blower box, the front panel is really mangled. The grill is cracked in a few places and a samll secton of the flange in the lower passenger side corner is broken off if anybody wants the grill.
All the glass except the passenger windshield and the sliding toll window on the passenger side is in good shape. The driver's side windshield has very little fogging, looked pretty new.
He bought it for the engine, so not sure he would sell that for anything reasonable, but he doesn't plan to use the transmission or any of the drivetrain parts, so they are available.
The OEM overhead AC is still on the roof, but don't know if it works.
Three of the four bumper sections are badly bent. They were towing it around with a front-end loader or something and didn't know that they were destroying a good part of their profit thereby. The careless dragging also destoyed the radiator core. The passenger side rear bumper is straight and still shiny chrome.
OEM stove and fridge still there, but don't know about the furnace or water pump. Fresh water tank is still there. Black tank probably is too. It has been dragged around with the airbags empty, so not sure if that means the black tank has dragged the ground.
Airbags might hold air, but looked pretty old.
I forgot to look in the bathroom to see what was there.
I got dibs on the propane tank, and the refrigerator, if it works.
Located about 10 miles West of Gadsden, AL.

I'm sure someone will ask about the window catches?
