Yes, I believe it is. Cool bus, worth fixing, but 5K is closer to actual value IMO.

OK here is another learning moment for me. I see full bulk head but front seats look like its a walkthru?
In ad it has a link to more pictures. Is it that he is just missing 2/3 seat? Other wise looks like a nice DC.

Walk through seats. Wrong seats for a DC. Except Thom's old one that he modified into a walk through. |

It was listed at $3000 plus shipping from Canada. I agree a rare bus for sure but even with the stuff that is included that is quite a huge flip.

Almost looks like early bay seat upholstery on those seats. I wonder of they are even split bus seats?

More power to him! 
He spent 7 days picking it up and I think it's worth way more than $3K . I listed it for a very low price because of my location and I need space, but most of my buses are well underpriced. It has to be worth more down in California (maybe not $15K...)
He's a nice guy, I'm sure he will do something on the price but that's between buyer/seller. Someone listed a 65 WT bus for $13K, I think that bus is ridic priced.
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1975584
But then again so are most of the buses listed in the classifieds.

Yeah that's bay upholstery, like what they used in the Westys in the 71 and earlier buses. Be interesting to see how they are mounted. I wonder if they are bay seats as well...not that it really matters at this point.

1961? Umm nope. For that much $$ I'd expect a better looking engine compartment. And you can just tell there is a lot of rust ready to explode on that shiny turd too.
