Isn't that the same pile (literally) that was sold out of Birmingham recently?

Yes it has.. Funny how the same guys that used to laugh at me 20 years ago for driving a " slow ass POS vw bus" are all calling me now wanting to know where they can get one at a decent price.  |

You'd figure if he painted his bus pink that he would have a more mellow demeanor |

Nice painted wiring.
The "no tires to kick" comment is too funny.
No wheels, not assembled, guessing it still needs almost everthing done mechanically, and a 68K asking price?
At least he did'nt put "offers" or "highest bid" in the price section.
Oh, nice description in the ad, Those 3 sentences were super informative.

I think it might be SWR with bad lighting in the photo, but I am not positive. You have to suspect a restoration that they painted the fuses and wires the same color as the inside of the bus. I don't think the price is too bad if it is complete and just needs assembly and maybe a motor. But for the price, you would think he would have many more pics or a video.

Shouldn't you put in the headliner before installing the skylights and other windows? Looks like a good bus and the price isn't that bad I suppose considering what it is if everything is there.

LOL, compared to the last 23 we all whined about, this one is a gem for another 8k, even with the poor ad...

I think anyone selling a repainted deluxe these days should have to post a pic of the m-plate in their ad...if it originally came with one.

I don't know if I think thats a big deal or not - any full resto you're going to pull the harness out and replace with new (they are not that expensive)
from the rest of the pics, it looks like a could be a very nice bus when done

I agree, but wouldn't you pull it before paint? If this corner was cut, what other corners were cut? Just raises a flag to dig deeper if I was a potential buyer, but not a deal killer.
If I was the seller, I would spend the 30 minutes to pull the old harness out and buy a new one to include in the sale.

Yes. I assumed the buyer must have a 15 window to slap a roof and code on. That was the only way the buy made sense.
I guess the buyer is seeing things from a new perspective now and wants to unload.
I've had discussions on this site about profit and the result was sell a service for buses (do the work) or just flip em, cause there is very little dough in restoring one unless you have a complete bus and do the work yourself.
I hope the seller chimes in here - I am curious to know the thought process from the beginning. Fingers Crossed. |
