Re: [A/S] 1976 Argosy

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My first Argosy was a '77, 20ft "Minuet" Argosy and there was nothing 
unusual about it that requires specail attention that you would  give to 
any airstream purchase.  Be aware that the end caps on the Argosy are 
steel and if they have any dents etc. they can  be repairewd fairly 
inexpensively,  like an autombile fender (unlike the Aluminum on A/S).  
The paint on Argosy's can be restored to a nice appearance with a good 
polish job, again much like an automobile.  My "Minuet" model was  about 
6" narrower and lighter then standard models and am not sure they had 
that model in '76.  Also be aware that the large front curved windows 
cannot be replaced unless you find a used one someplace or some dealer 
maybe has one left over.  New wrap around windows from a/s don't work, 
even those before the wide body.  The price sounds out of this world and 
if windows are intact I would grab it.
