Maybe I've been seeing too many 2nd gen Charger prices, but these FMC's seem w-a-y too cheap. Ad was posted two weeks ago. facebook linky We have four fmc, all have 440 motors. None currently run(have been down for many years). We have units as low as $1000 and up to $2500. All depending on condition, and whether or not they have rare desirable Alcoa rims. 1973 Fmc 29’ 440 pusher class a $2,500

My guess is that almost anyone looking for an RV wants a modern one. An old one would be very hard to get rid of, especially one made out of fiberglass or material that has no value. Those FMCs are cool looking, but how many people are actually buying something like that?

Sadly a lot of Rv parks keep limit on older models of campers/RV. If so many years old then wont let you stay there. Park in the field and use it for a hunting stand lol

These things were over $50,000 when new.
They had a 440 and 727 mounted at an angle in the back behind the axle if I remember correctly.
They had a feature that you could incinerate your sewage while screaming down the highway.
(Take THAT tailgaters.)
My old man bought one of these used for something like $30,000 about 30 years ago.
He never used it, just let it sit.
The roof started leaking, it wouldn't run any more, so he had it towed off the driveway at home, to the back lot of his business, where it sank in the mud, and continued to rot.
Stinking, filthy mess.
When he died, we gave it away.

I drove that one with the Duramax, or else one just like it, about 10 years ago. It was really nice, and I was tempted to buy it, except it was rear heavy. The front sat high because of the weight of the Duramax, and the owner said he had to keep the freshwater tank which is mounted in the front at least half full. I think he was asking 40 or 50 grand at the time.
One thing to be aware of on these is that they are known for a structural issue, sagging in the middle. Because they don't have a frame. It's a fiberglass tube. Most of the restorers jack them up and install a steel frame. I think they're really cool. But the newer stuff with three slide out rooms really provides for a lot more living space.
