interesting shifter

I think it's a stock shifter...Just an interesting dust boot.

I've seen some slapped-together shit, but damn.

Cue the Samba-luminati in 3... 2... 1... to tell us this what a steal this is at this price.

That shifter boot looks like a rack and pinon boot foor an MGA, oh since it's in the UK that may be true :roll: but you'd need gorilla arms to reach that shifter :lol:

Actually I've seen that a bunch of times, it makes it easier to turn the knobs.
Barndoor night-time drivers know what I mean.

His choice of comfort items are strange. Considering the wooden box seat.

I'm not even sure it's whine worthy because I would have no idea if thats a good price or not- but it's definitely funny how Nate set that shit up for the photo shoot.

He should've spread that shit out to the proper wheel base. Nobody is going to pay $1900 for an imaginary "shorty" bus.

wrong, it sold for that

The Gerson special. Add $10K in a parts bus and gerson metal and you too can own a $200K w/t deluxe! :wink:
Has anyone ever done that with a post-Barndoor bus? :? I've only ever heard of it being attempted on certain Barndoor remnants, and I haven't seen an actual driving Bus materialize out of any of those stories yet.

Or bus the entire bus for $10,000 with the interior. That makes the bus worth $5500? I need a flat middle seat but not that bad!!!!

Sun Jul 03, 2011 12:31 pm

Not sure if that's a flat back middle seat.

The one in the foreground is flat back:

The seat in the ad:

You compare, the ad seat looks curved, but it is hard to tell.

I have a flat spring seat out of a 56-57 kombi and it looks the same. But mine is black not sg/pg But 4500 holy shit if that's the case I'll take 4000 for my middle and rear flat spring seats. :lol:

Curved, for certain.

:shock: WTH?

Sun Jul 03, 2011 1:10 pm

from this angle, it looks curved (the top part of seat back) but I'm no expert

If I wanted to spend 1700 on safari's I'd go w CE safaris.

I had a set of og paint, patina'd og safaris w/ original sigla glasses that I sold for much less than this set recently at OCTO. I think he was inspired by the Barrett Jackson auctions.

Heres another BJ inspired seller
