After 90 hours, a custom 4WD Condor motorhome finished the 1969 Baja 1000. The unit, built by Bill Stroppe, was driven by Condor CEO Wes Thomas and was truly a marketing brilliance. If a motorhome could survive the Baja 1000, then it is tough enough for the average camper.
The first thing Stroppe did was cut the Condor’s chassis down to 20 feet. It’s Ford 390ci V8 was swapped out for 460ci Lincoln engine that was rated at 400 hp, and then just to keep things in the RV-vein, the Lincoln was converted to propane. Behind that sat a C6 with an Art Carr shifter sending power through a Napco front diff and an Eaton rear axle. Sixteen inch wheels with huge RV tires were mounted.
Either this one or a very similar one also ran the Mint 400 in 69 or 70.
