Just my 2 cents.
Ebay tends to bring out all kinds of buyers, and in the end the selection isn't really that good. My advice, find a bus on TheSamba go and look at it, kick the tires, talk to the owner. Or buy one local, check craigslist, the newspaper, or just ask around.
No offense to the seller, but if you check his feedback, he is selling multiple cars... flipper? Junk yard? Auto body? Might not be anything, but I would want to know.
Wouldn't you rather buy a bus from someone who has driven it for years and is familiar with all the little quirks? |

63 doesn't have reverse lights... so ya, there missing..
repair panels look like they are still in primer.
no air filter. looks like it is missing the oil filler cover...
Still "from a photo" looks like a decent start. Just not a screaming deal. Probably sell for close to $10k. Still say you could do better here with some patience. |

The outrigger to main frame replacement looks to be missing the welds on one side, and by the quality of the welds on the other side, I can see why they gave up.
Beware.
