Title: Clippers on Craiglist
Post by: Toedtoes on April 04, 2014, 09:57:18 PM
I'm setting this up as a sticky so folks can post clippers they see for sale on Craigslist.  Please indicate Location, Date Seen on Craigslist and Title of Ad as the heading of your post (they'll all remain in this thread, but folks can identify each post as different.  You can add other details in the text field.  See the following posts as examples (and current postings I found on Craigslist).

Title: SF Bay Area 4/4/14 - American Clipper - $3500 (Seaside)

$3,500 or best offer
engine, top end rebuilt, just tuned up and smogged
interior remodeled
well maintained

photos included.  The remodel is interesting on this one - they removed the closet, moved the sink to where the closet was with a countertop next to it and cupboard below, changed out the small drawer under the original sink and put in 2 large drawers and a thin drawer and made a counter out of where the sink was, installed a microwave in the cupboard over the original sink.
Title: SF Bay Area 4/4/14 -american clipper all new interior MUST SEE - $4500 Los Banos
Post by: Toedtoes on April 04, 2014, 10:11:50 PM
This one appears to be the same as the first one posted - but it has a couple photos.

I find it interesting that this post stresses "all new interior", but it shows very little of the interior.  Looks like someone was living it from the outside photos.

Hello All,

I Have Seen These Clippers, I Think It Would Be Great If I Was Looking For A Clipper I Would Surely Buy One Off A ACOC Member First. Because I Feel That There Is A Little Of Pride On How They Have Up Kept There Pride & Joys..

If You Do Have A Hard Time In Finding A Non Member Clipper, Make Sure You Have Some One To Check It Out First. I Wish I Had Some One To Look At Ours First, Knowing What I Have Had To Do To
" Wilson "  I Could Of Spent A Little More @ First & Saved A Lot Of Time Bringing Him Back To Life :-[

If Anyone Out There Is Planing On Getting One Of These Super Nice Clipper RV, ;D & You Live In San Francisco Bay Area, Or An Area By Other Club Members, Feel Free To Let Some Of Use As ACOC  Members, Give You Some Input That May Save You A Lot Of Time & Money In The Long Run... :-\

I Know There Still Are A Lot Of Sweet Low Mileage, Great Shape & Great Looking Clippers Still Out There.

Please Keep The Posts Coming :o

Sorry I meant to include a link to the craigslist post; http://pullman.en.craigslist.org/rvs/4587493103.html.  It has tons of pictures.   We are not the original owners.  I am having problems posting pictures on here.

Hi Schuzz6,

I Was Able To Go To Craigslist & See Photos Of Your RV, Very Nice Rig. Like I Said I Would Get It If It Was In Calif.

Is Generator A Onan 4.0 AfterMarket, Do You Know How Many Hours On It? Does It Have A 440 Dodge Motor?

I Going To Talk To A Friend Of Mine, He Has Been Looking, You Stated It May Need Brakes, Are That The Front Pads? Or Rear? Hows The Tires, He Would Maybe Fly Up There & Drive It Back To California..

Thats For The Link.

Joe

Post by: clucey on September 03, 2014, 09:50:58 PM
Hello! I have LOVED my Clipper but we have had 2 more babies and my honey is in cancer treatment, so we just don't use it anymore. I bought it from a Clipper Club member, I believe he was a past president. I don't want to let it sit, it's such a great little RV. Here is the link to the craigslist ad I posted. I wrote a huge ad and there are quite a few pics.

I would love it to go to a Clipper fan.
Best regards,

Not on craiglist but I'm looking to sell my Clipper in Utah.

It's a 1975, with a smaller v8 than the 440.  Good shape inside and body, but not running.  Got it from an impound lot so not sure what is wrong with it.  $500 OBO, if you are interested let me know and I can get you pics and more info!

Thanks :)

77 Clipper - Portland, OR.  Claimed to be one family owned, rebuilt 383.  Mileage not listed.  Asking $6500, being sold by a broker.

That last one looks nice. It does appear that the cabover bunk fabric is original - if you plan on using it, you'll likely have to recover it (that fabric has a tendency to deteriorate into dust with every touch). 

I'd check over the engine, carb, transmission carefully - any issues and the price should go down. Anything over $6,000 should be pretty much perfect.

The bathroom faucet is original. If you get the clipper and don't like the faucet, i'll buy it off you when you replace it. I've been looking for a replacement (mine has a leak in the cold water lever). :)

Great finds.  That $9000 one is a bunk model - hard to find and popular.  And it looks to be in great shape.

At the moment there are 3 on craigslist...I go nationwide and find all that are listed.   One is in San
Antonio Tx but not running.  One in Portland area that looks to be a good deal...The Phonix one is
gone after only being up a few days so it must of been a good deal and sold...The one I am writing
about was the St. Louis Missouri one for $5000...I email about it and was sent over 35 pictures of a
immaculate cond. and very nice and clean.  I was a little leary as was told the husband had died and
she had moved to Butte and would sell and included  delivery...started to sound like a scam.  Don't
know if it is or not but it was one of the nicest I had seen..but of course you got to hear it run and
need to know if it will make it home so I passed..

Post by: Joed on July 14, 2019, 08:32:56 AM
Built on a Dodge 300 dual rear wheel frame with a running 440 v8 motor. The RV was a received in poor non running condition. The labor and parts invested, brought the engine back to running condition. The interior has had the old shag carpeting removed, but has some ceiling, wall damage and one broken window. All of the original parts are there, Cab AC, Propane Stove, Hot Water Heater, Cab Furnace, Kitchen Sink, Shower Stall, Toilet, Bath Sink, 3-Way Fridge, all valances, Jackknife Couch, Captains Barrel Chairs. Dining Table. Grey Water Tank, Black Water Tank, Fresh Water Tank and new Water Pump. Large Propane Tank and 30 amp service cable with complete interior 12 volt converter and interior electric panel with fuses and breakers, but interior renovation is required. Tires have lots of tread and Spare has never been on the ground, but show weathering from exposure. See Photos. Come See it. Title with Prior Owners Name and full notebook from Prior Owner with operating manuals and documents.

Just looked on Craigslist but I did not see the $200 Clipper. I bet some one snagged it quickly. I saw three more listed with one seller asking $7200. That would have to be one pristine Clipper for that asking price.
