1972 Dodge Balboa "Bullwinkle"

These very rare 18ft fiberglass camper vans were produced by a boat builder in Costa Mesa, California from 1968-1974.  There is said to be 1000 ever made.  I have renovated over 30 of them.  More than anyone else in the world!  This one is a beautiful example of an original Balboa Motorhome.
