See the thread on #0058's late January auction at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale here. Didn't get around to posting its reappearance in eBay auction #1 under its latest owner/dealer seller, which was Feb 24-Mar 4 where its "reserve-not-met" bids topped out at $45,850. So, here instead is eBay auction #2, ending near midday on March 23: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325102644749
Contrary to the seller's claim, it has been partly restored. On the right is my own personal photo of it from late 2005 when I was thinking about buying it (the seller wouldn't come down to my $5,500 offer back then. The door is slightly open, obscuring the serial number plates next to the door opening). Parts of stripe decals on the sides were partly faded, and the back door decal was nearly completely faded out. In seeing the reappearance of this rig, it finally dawned on me why I thought the camper stripes looked odd. Back around 2007 when they were either re-vinyled or painted over, whoever did that made the yellow tone stripes have less contrast to each other, and did the innermost stripe much too red in tone. As seen in my old photo, that stripe is supposed to be an orange tone. The lower door decal area seems to have been redone in black or a very dark blue, when other minimally faded '76 door decals have the lower three stripe areas as purple / dark blue / blue, as seen in the next photo of Chalet #0025.
