The front end of that thing is an Olds Toronado, circa 1969. My dad had a '69 Toronado, bought brand new January '69. They never could quite get the front end alignment sorted out, too much toe-in, and it would not exceed 80 mph despite 400hp and an otherwise not too bad shape for its day. 6-8 mpg, maybe 9 mpg at highway speed. With an Airstream glommed onto the ass end, this rig might get, oh, 5 mpg.
Anybody know of a modern-day RV along the Ultravan line, which reportedly got 16-19 mpg 40 years ago?
Or, perhaps better, a cargo van or small 2 axle truck that comes stock with a good shape, but suitable for further aero improvements and internal refit for RV use?
