Missed a great deal at Barrett Jackson

I left too early from the Barrett Jackson car auction in Scottsdale this week.
Missed out on this great deal for a true classic Ultra Motorhome built like an aircraft fuselage. Sold for under 2K!!

Would have been a great test bed for different engines as the corvair engine is not the most efficient.

1968 ULTRA Lot 310.1 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company

I'd looked at those in the past. They would be awesome with modern drivetrains and a few aero tweaks! And this one was nice; beaters usually sell for more than that- it's a steal!
