Hit The Road In This Epic 1970s Camper And Car

We love a good time capsule around here.

Usually, we use the term time capsule when referring to beautifully maintained homes full of vintage touches. But this time, we’re focusing on something a little more mobile.

This car & camper combo looks like it popped right out of the early 1970s, and it’s too good not to share. For sale in Grove City, the 1972 Caprice and the 1972 Shadow camper are definitely perfect examples of days gone by.

Can you imagine rocking up to the campground with this set up? Epic.
