You are correct, the ad does say running and driving, so why would he post a pic of that work-o-art? |

WE HAVE USED A SECTION OF IT FOR AN ART INSTALLATION IN OUR BUSINESS IN ASHEVILLE, NC. SO ANYONE INTERESTED CANNOT BE BUYING THIS TO USE IN NC.
(IT IS REALLY RARE TO FIND ANY OLDER VW BUS THAT IS IN SUCH A SHAPE IT WONT BE RESTORED. SO ANYONE BUYING THIS WOULD HAVE A ONE OF A KIND IDEA IN THEIR STATE!!) |
Why can't I use this if I am from NC? And the second statement is just untrue in all ways.

They paid $1300 to have the thing cut in half? I would have done it for $950.

Without all of the 80's body mods and those awful wheels, it sort of makes sense. Would make an excellent race car hauler.
Also, at least he isn't asking $15K for it, even though $1K is probably more reasonable.

Probably just under $150 would be my guess. Scrap price is really low right now.

The local scrap yard would deduct a significant amount due to all the mud in the nose, likely not worth the fuel to haul it to the dump.
