Functionally everything works. However, there is a lot of rust that most of is surface though some is a bit more involved, all the hinges need to be replaced, water has been getting in for some time and the platform was rotted out, the wiring to the solenoids needs to be replaced because of corrosion, and the trailer wiring should be cleaned up. I had to do a late night rewire in order to get the lights working to get the balloon to annual and didn't do the cleanest of jobs. I have almost $4,000 in it, but it's not worth anywhere near that as is.
 
It needs a lot of sanding down, a new paint job, some rust work on the back, new wires on the solenoids, seal up some places water is getting in (corners of side doors and I think a upper corner of the back door, replace all the hinges, a new platform (plywood or poly) bolted to the back frame, clean up the trailer wiring, and a couple of tack welds to tighten the floor back down. And there is no key to the side doors, but they are unlocked.
 
Make offer and come get it

It's in Northern California, about an hour - hour and a half north of San Francisco.

I am looking to get rid of a 1980 balloon kakoon I picked up last year. I put a new battery in it and 4 new tires up at the Reno event in September when I got it, Last month I had to rewire the trailer lights and connect a wire that runs to the battery to recharge it while driving so I also set it up for a seven pin connection.
