Exclamation For Sale: 2000 Internations 3800 Conversion

Located in San Diego, California.


Registered as an automobile in California!!




We bought this last May from a pair for New Zealanders who built it out and drove it to 48 states over the course of their 1 year visa to the US. We upgraded the floor, added sound deadening, replaced the ladder, re-worked the electrical, added the rear deck, added an inside/outside sound system, replaced the tires and brakes, and upgraded the driver seat. Two families of 4 then did an amazing Western US tour for 2 weeks. We were going to keep her for more adventures but Covid-19 has changed our income situation. Our loss is your gain!


Asking $9,000.00 for a quick sale to someone who will continue the adventure
