I kinda like it. It executed decently enough. But I am not a stock guy by any means.

Its also very reminiscent of a 1989 cover of VWTrends calling and wanting their bus back.

Its priced a little high in my opinion. It is a 71 weekender though and that's a darn good model. The paint job is a nightmare. It looks like a pretty good bus though, it has potential. I'd pay 4k for that any day of the week.

For $26K the guy could at least back it out of the garage to get some decent pics.

Yeah, if you want 26k for an unrestored bus, you better buff the snot out of that paint, replace that nasty carpet, replace the worn out foam, the incorrect front seats, and attend to every single issue on the bus. That means cosmetic and mechanical. Then take a ton of professional photos with a nice background.
