That would have been a cool truck (as far as customs go) if it wasn't for the corner windows and being slammed.

I think the corner windows are a lot better addition then the walk thru. Do you really need a walk thru in a dc?

it seems kinda odd that about 4 weeks after i sell my fake wolfsburg 15 window that this ones on here..It looks like a nice paint job and restoration definately lots of bondo on there to make it that straight but where are the belly pans?
I could point off all the things that are wrong with hte bus but i just can't see anyone buying this 15 for 130k if they are willing too send them my way and i'll sell them my old 15 window for 30k in similar condition..

Yeah...totally odd that someone is selling a restored 15w Wolfsburg on the Samba a month after you sell your "fake" one :roll:

It really is a shame that you have been blessed with such shit restorations and/or purchased such shittily (yes shittily) restored "fake" buses, that it would necessitate the above statement.

15 windows do not have belly pans.....

15 Windows VW Buses don't have belly pans.

I actually really like that $130K 15 Window, it's gorgeous. We need to have some break out buses that 'set the apple.' It's a fun bus to look at, and looking is always free!

Did this thing ever have anything to do with an old VW bus other than that's how they got it home from Kmart?

No.

I thought so. It sure looks like the set I saw everywhere in the 80's.

I had a big message I was going to post involving your ads where you can see your old Bus but I decided to just post:

ROTFLMAO

i agree. and i don't think the end is in sight yet for top level buses. this is one. as for the color, it does kinda look like "west coast classics pink" but i am guessing it's the camera/phone the pictures were taken with. my kombi looks off on internet pictures as well. not saying either are exact matches but i know the color can distort.

that part where "vwuguy" said something about "what a coincidence" and his bus just selling was absolutely laughable.

Fair value in parts is about $1200 (PB, apron, seat, decklid?, emblem? some trinkets) for that single cab.
