Sorry I can't post a pic but who noticed the front cargo door is high hinge and the rear is low hinge?
No mention in the ad why, I am sure they have only had the bus long enough to clean up and flip. Maybe they didn't notice it either.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or does this Bus look like a shorty?
I know the ad says " Custom " but you'd think the seller would mention this.

well, he says "I only want to meet with serious VW buyers who appreciate the work that's been put into this vehicle." i don't appreciate that work, so, i guess i am out...

IMHO if you are going to make a shorty, keeping one cargo door is the way to go. It looks so much better.
Still I wouldn't do it.

I can't understand the reason for shortening a bus or single cab? What's to gain by doing it? It is what it is, if the right person buys it it could be un-done.

I guess the stock fuel pump makes as good of a block off plate as one of that's actually made for the purpose. What is the wood by the battery for? Is that undercoating on he engine lid or rust? maybe abit of both. Fixing some of this as well as a good steam cleaning/detailing would go along way toward making it more presentable and help with the sale.

The wood block is a 2x4 wedged in place to hold the battery. Classy. At least I use a bungee cord, preferably a black one so it's hard to see.

149500 for a VW bus ??? I know you are just an ad broker but I think if I were Everett I might charge by the list price, like 1%

Oh yeah, if you are going to say no-lowballers, you can't list your price as "OBO" Rolling Eyes

Whine over.

Very neat/nice/clean bus... But if you're, "just testing the waters"... They're pretty cold

The reality of the restoration hobby, particularly a car that's nowhere near stock, is that you (likely) will never get anywhere close to what you put into it. Just part of the game. Sorry.
