Title: 1979 Dodge 440" American Clipper TRANSPORTER
Post by: antoniop on January 17, 2002, 09:51:00 AM
Can anyone tell me about this Clipper I own? How rare is it ,if indeed it is what I am informed it is? Is it rare? How about it's value?...The 21' Clipper lacks stove,sink,frig.,toilet,cabinets,tables.There is an overhead area for a mattress [or luggage?].It has overhead Air Unit,a [new]50 gal. gas tank,outside acess area to where there probably was a generator.Newly upholstered seating rings the interior[all facing toward the center. I guess about 18 people could sit inside.The outside recess behind the driver's door [Water inlet]has never been drilled thru or used.Has air bag suspension[in bad shape].Can I get any feedback on this?I may want to sell it soon.I am at e-mail ronuncle@yahoo.com or maybe [better]I can get feedback at this site.I am a current member[til Feb.1].Thank you from Santa Clara,Ca.---antoniop

The Clipper you have was never equipped as a camper. It was used as a shuttle bus at the Flying Lady. There was another one like it only a Chevy, and it sold about three years ago for about $4K.

In reply to <kma>
The wiring diagram is in the 1979 Maintenance manual for that Dodge Chassis. I have a copy of that Manual. I can be called at 408 923-7246 and are located in San Jose, CA. <mwsmith@JPS.net>
