Oh you gotta scoop that thing up! Maybe the guy has a Ranchero or El Camino he will sell you to tow it.

Pullman is actually closer to me so maybe I need it

I think it needs to be saved, at least in text:
"This is a 19 foot long (total length) recreation vehicle 5th wheel. Custom Built ground up, see pictures.
Made from some of the following:
Shell of a 1960 Ford Econoline Van
Interior height almost 6.5 feet
Sunroof 1964 Oldsmobile VistaCrusier
Double bed below the skylight
Dining table converts to another bed
Propane fireplace
All the conveniences of a self contained RV
Custom built walnut cabinets cabinets.
Built in 1973, not used in last 12 years.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 hours to build.
Been told it may need a Anderson Hitch Mount ?"

and pics:






with some custom work, this could look better:
