If this bus is worth 18, then I'm on a gold mine!

I agree the bus is over priced, but not by much.....
IF the rest of the bus is nice, you'd be hard pressed to find a almost 100% original paint 68 az.yeller bus in any condition, let alone survivor state like that one.
I would put it at 10-13K depending what I saw in person. that is a neat fucking bus...1 year only color, 1 year only bits and pieces.....I dig it. _________________

Indeed, a little optomistic, but watching the market lately it seems today's high price is tomorrow's average, he's just a bit ahead of the curve.
And if a Detroit resident ever saw an Idaho bus in person they'd shit themselves multiple times, that rust shown under the window sill is quite likely all you will find. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

I think his first price was the accurate one. Looks clean though to beat all the dents out and repaint it will set you back a pretty penny for good work. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

For $13,000 it could at least have a straight front bumper. And no rear bumper. Lipstick on a pig.

I'm not sure which is worse, the rear clip complete with the air intake vents brought up to finish the back of the cab, or the 4 lug bug wheel as a spare on the front. The "treasure chest" doors are truly hideous. I wonder how the engine gets air? _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

if this is a 68 it's got the wrong doors and reflectors on it and no seal around the engine lid.

Yeah, when I saw that yesterday, I wanted to toss my cookies. What a waste of a good bus and countless hours of labor. Imagine what it would look like if those hours were used for good instead of evil. _________________ -Kent-

Looking at the ad, you buy this POS for $20,000 then get the chance to spend an additional $75,000-$150,000 to be on TV? WTF? _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
