After a reasonably successful 1400 mile trip, I am at a point that it seems time to lower my Barth shingle!

There seems to be only one remaining Barth GTG annually and I will still attend that even if 71 leaves. Motel room stay, really do like to go to that GTG.

Anyone that might be interested, please read the Saga of 71 in the General discussion forum.

Do not expect to get anywhere near my investment, however I do want 71 to go to someone that will use and enjoy it.

This makes me sad Duane. What are you going to do with all your free time? Boredom will overtake.

Always get comments and questions about 71, favorite is "That is Stupid Cool" by a young man in a pick-up!

Ole 71 is still on the market, have not taken any more long trips, but some short ones, still running like a Grand Father clock.

71 needs a good home and someone who will love to use it!

Any chance Ole 71 is still for sale? If so I would really like to talk to you about it, and see what you would have to have for it.

Respectfully,

Yes, it is still for sale. For someone, that will love it as much as I do the price will be what they can afford. There is no way I would ask anyone to pay my investment. It needs someone willing to care for a 55-year-old!!!

I had to get a new identity so still not able to private message.

Sorry for the late reply, I don't check the website very often. I am very interested in ole 71. I'm a 72 model myself, and for some reason, my wife still takes care of me! Somebody's got to do it right? As far as being able to afford it, I can't afford much. I've owned 3 barths previously, a 75, a 76, and an 85. Each one, about the time I got everything fixed, one of my kids had a disaster that only selling my motorhome could solve.

Anyway... I am very interested. My phone number is 405-938-5174.

Thank you,

Drew

I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about you, lately anytime I have a minute seems to be the most hideous hours of the morning and night. But I wanted to let you know I got the pictures, looks just like my 75 did on the inside. I would feel very blessed to bring it home. I promise I will try to call you sometime this week, at an acceptable time.

By the way, I'm with the kid in the parking lot, I think it's super cool!
