**SOLD** 1978 E350 Born Free Motorhome

[8APRIUS]

**Sale pending 11/20/2020**

A blast from the past! This is a very well cared for, two owner Born Free camper. If you are unfamiliar with Born Free let me give you some highlights:

- All fiberglass construction
- Tubular steel roll cage throughout the coach
- Flexsteel furniture

Equipped with a 460 Ford engine. Recent maintenance includes:

-New spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor
- New brass radiator
- New thermostat along with coolant hoses
- Rebuilt carburetor
- Fresh oil change

All of the appliances work properly. The fridge can be operated on 110V or propane. There is a rooftop air conditioner/heater, propane furnace and a propane water heater. No generator. Current mileage is at 68k. I just returned from a 500 mile trip and it performed flawlessly. Six new tires are being installed this week. I would like to sell this before the snow begins as I don't have proper indoor storage this year. Feel free to give me a call or text at (517) Two One 4 - Six 6 Eight 8.

Location: Beulah, MI 49617
Price: SOLD

*No lava lamps or disco balls included in the sale*

Absolutely phenomenal! I have little use for this, and I want it bad.

 

[bouncer]

O. M. G. awesome.

 

[shellb]

Haha! This is awesome.

How many does it sleep? Does the couch or chair in the rear have seatbelts?

 

[8APRIUS]

@shellb It sleeps four. The front bed sleeps two and the rear bench makes into bunk beds. The couch/bed does have seat belts as does the orange chair. The orange chair also swivels so it can face forward for a car seat.

so rad. want so badly.

Also wish I had an older van for 460/ C6 combo. Bulletproof and more torque than you could possibly ever need!!

 

[HoBoCruiser]

This needs to be kept indoors at the museum. There is not another in this fine original condition any where in the country, I am sure of it !
We had similar to this in the late 70's and the 460/C6 is without fail, the best drivetrain we ever had and it NEVER let up on any of our trips,
from mountain elevations & snows to desert heat of 125 degrees. Never an interior water leak either. Love all the glass & the interior colors...
Oh how I wish we had a large climate controlled building any more, we would take this home tomorrow ! (only if we got the LavaLamp with it)

 

[8APRIUS]

@HoBoCruiser Thank you for the kind words. It truly is in exceptional condition. 6 new tires are being installed on Monday morning and then it will be ready for its next adventure.

Man I just wanna sit in one of those plush seats and watch Bonanza reruns. What a cool rig and piece of history. glws.

You should seriously consider tossing it on Bring A Trailer (Google if you're not familiar). There is a buyer out there for you; they just don't know it.

Toss some pics of the engine bay. I bet it is as flawless. Gorgeous ride, and that "floor-to-ceiling" window is groovy!

 

[TwistedGray]

...in other words, come back with the link when it's on Bring A Trailer

Absolutely phenomenal! I have little use for this, and I want it bad.

What he said - this is the coolest thing ever, like a '70's dentist office on wheels with bunk beds! I wish there was anyway I could justify this.

 

[8APRIUS]

@TwistedGray Let me start by saying I LOVE Bring a Trailer. I have sold six vehicles on there with the most recent one being sold last week. I have contemplated submitting the Born Free but right now the turn around time from submission to live auction is about 6-8 weeks! In eight weeks there will be a few feet of snow on the ground here so I'm trying to sell this beforehand. If anyone here is interested, even slightly, please contact me. You never know, I might just say yes to your offer!

Someone buy my Class B so I can buy this!!
