OK, we all know that we all want a 23 window deluxe but I want to know what everyone thinks is this years "popular" or hottest selling split bus. Is it the panel? The SC? the DC? another?

i think it is the westy, ive had my 21 and i think the camper is much more fun. but ive also seen many trucks lately

Mon Nov 11, 2002 5:11 pm

no offense to bay owners, but i think my non-running 21 window split is cooler than any bay window in my area. i still see bays around here but i have seen maybe 2 splits over the last few years(outside of vw shows, that is)

23 windows are the ULTIMATE for sure but seem unrealistic for a working class peasant like myself.....single cab gets my vote, followed by the double then the panel.

i've seen many single cabs surfacing as of late, i like them (but dbl. cabs i like more) and i own a 23 window!

i think special order busses are definately the most sought after, like a sliding door splitty, or a double door kombi, standard sunroof, firetrucks, highroofs etc. Special intrest busses get my vote.

for me it'll always be a 23 window. Seems like original paint buses of any model are selling well. As for not being able to afford a 23 I'm only into my 57 $1500, and it'll likely be $500 or less after I sell the rest of the stuff that came with it. not running since 88 but still. Just keep looking and follow ALL of the leads.
